    How to Make Windows XP/Vista Run Faster


    (Page 1 of 4 )

    Everyone loves to use a fast Windows XP/Vista computer. Yet, I have observed in my experience working with computers of my friends, neighbors and even in offices that around 90 percent of these XP/Vista powered computers are very sluggish and not optimized for speed. Keep reading if you have one of these machines and would like to fix this issue.

    Do not get me wrong, but if you use a slow XP/Vista computer, your working performance and productivity will be severely affected. For example, if you have a very slow boot time, or find that your computer is sluggish when performing normal tasks, such as opening MS Office documents, it will make your day slow and unproductive as well.

    The real cause of this problem lies in the lack of knowledge in optimizing these Windows XP/Vista computers for speed.

    I know there are several useful tutorials to help you deal with this problem, including the very humorous but helpful: http://askbobrankin.com/make_windows_xp_run_faster.html

    The tutorial illustrated in this article is more in-depth, with detailed procedures and explanation on the processes involved.

    As the tutorial suggests, you will notice that it is only designed for Windows XP, and could well be applied to Windows Vista, too! There are certain features in Windows Vista that are not found in the earlier Windows version, and therefore will not be entirely applicable. However, with the recent Vista release, it can be seen as being similar to Windows XP.
