I have a new ASUS w/Vista Premium 64 bit. I want to see if there are programs to uninstall that will help with. the boot up. I know there are but need help finding them. PG |
There is to much shit trying to load on the start up. I am asking what programs I can get rid of 
|
 Uh....okay. To the OP: MSconfig is a good start, as well as add/remove programs. You should be an admin, so you can also get into the registry and look at the Run and Run Once settings. If you don't know where those are at in the registry...well, you probably shouldn't mess with the registry! |
Really? Tin Foil?? Do I need some??
| I would also check your firewall for exceptions that need to be shut down. As for the performance, it is correct that MSConfig is the place to start shutting down bootup crap. Also check your startup folder. Finally, you might get better luck with simply buying more RAM. Vista is a real RAM Whore. |
I have 4 GB of RAM now

Yes, I do. My D630 at work is actually faster to boot with Vista compared to XP, but I have to reboot it a couple times a week due to excessive memory leaks, the occasional blue screen, and unexplained CPU usage. And that is on my personal PC, after I have stripped it down to be as clean and efficient as I can per corporate specs. You should see some of our test desktops that we are developing the corporate image on. Wowzers, is it unstable! I am really dreading when we start rolling out Vista to the end users.... |
