Tip number two - Turn off the unnecessary Windows Vista features.

You know that when Windows Vista is loaded, it comes with all manner of features that are not disabled or turned off as a result of some professional reasons on the side of the developers. These features unavoidably load your computer with certain computing garbage that you do not need. All you have to do is to go to control panel and click on 'Uninstall/Change a program'. Then, on the task pane on the left side, click on 'Turn Windows features on or off'. Take a close look at the list and uncheck any feature that you want to disable. Please hover your mouse over the feature you want to disable to find out its function first. One way of knowing how to speed up your Windows Vista laptop PC is to identify the necessary and unnecessary things.

Tip number three - How to speed up Windows Vista by removing spyware, Trojans and viruses.

It might interest you to know that malicious codes are some of the reasons why Windows run slowly and functions poorly. Honestly, I enjoy using free software programs so I will recommend them to you here. It is advisable to use Spybot as your spyware, adware and malware remover, Zonealarm as your firewall software and Avast as your anti-virus software tool. The good news is that all of these programs have Windows Vista compatible version. Also, I'm very confident that these tools should be good enough to ensure a near perfect safe and hassle-free computing environment for you.

Tip number four - How to speed up your Windows Vista computer by adjusting the graphical features.

Yes, if you turn off the graphical features of your Vista laptop, you will definitely experience instant change in speed of how the system responds to your command. So, if you are not in love with funky stuffs, turn off those features. Open your start menu, scroll to run, click on it and type in 'systempropertiesperformance'. Now, go to the Visual Effects tab and uncheck 'Animate Windows when minimizing and maximizing'. You are also at liberty to adjust or readjust other graphical settings and options there but don't do what you don't know how to do so that you do not end up messing up your laptop or PC.

Tip number five - How to speed up the boot speed of your Vista system.

This can be done by eliminating the Windows Vista welcome center which was specifically designed to give new users of Vista tutorials on how to get started. How do you do this? Open your start menu, scroll to run, and type in 'regedit'. Navigate through HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Run. Search for WindowsWelcomeCenter key. Have you seen it? Okay, right click on it and select Delete. Phew! It's gone for good.

Tip number six - Defragment your system's hard drive.

Okay, this tip sounds old-fashioned right? The truth is that it's still very effective till date. Defragging your laptop's hard drive can still help to increase the performance of the system. Just look for Defraggler on Google search. Another fact is that the in-built Windows Vista defragmenter does not work well as expected. So, forget it and search for Defraggler.

Tip number seven - How to speed up Windows Vista PC by using registry cleaners.

As you continue to use your laptop, PC or computer, the Windows registry stores all kinds of good stuffs and errors, device driver, and program settings. These make the Vista to slow down both in 'booting' period and other normal operations. Oftentimes, these will lead to annoying errors coming up to frustrate you. The best thing to do in order to get rid of this is to engage a tested and trusted registry cleaner to clean the registry and your system will just be as if you bought a new one.
