Well, why you don't install an older windows?
Or something else, like linux ?

It's known that Vista is hard on the resources of a computer.
And as a laptop have a limited speed bus and hdd transfer rate to economize battery, it's no wonder it shows heavily on it.

Welcome to the world of Vista.

wouldn't recommend Vista to anyone i still love the XP pro, i'll give Vista another year to perfect their applications cause there are still some applications that wouldn't run if your OS is Vista.

You have not mentioned your laptop make? model? speed? If your laptop is vista ready then it should boot vista faster... and if not... then try Xp

I work in a computer store. There are numerous customers who ask me to remove Vista and put XP instead of it.

On hardware, check cabling and other part if it plugged precisely on their slot.
On software, try to disable services and uninstall program you dont need.
I recommend you to visit www.howtogeek.com for tips about vista, and also my blog ofcourse

Anyone knows that Visa slows down your computer
Downgrade to XP and see what happens. If you have the same problem (and you probably not) contact your dealer.
Or buy some more RAM and see what happens.

upgrade to Vista SP1...seems to be a little improved. If you got a laptop it usually comes with lot of crap preinstalled that you dont need. Try formatting it and reinstalling from support cd's but only the essentials.

If possible go down to XP Pro and wait till Windows 7 comes out. The whole world knows Vista was a flop but microsoft doesnt want its dirty laundry flapping in wind so its getting everyone to sell a P.O.S operating system with every new computer in order to avoid embarrasment.

Give us Windows XP and it will stay strong till Windows 7 comes out.

Just my 0.02$

Yeah Vista cna be a strain. But I like the come back from the dead programming that gets back on its feet after virus attacks. I use Symantec but even so when things get through their is a blue screen utility that resusciates the drive. I need that, and I think antivirus works as a flank defense against the most aggressive sets of newer viruses.
