Give Windows Vista a needed boost – Video Tip

Windows Vista is not going away or improving so I will do my best to help Vista users make the best of a marginal situation. Lack of speed and responsiveness remains one of the biggest detriments to Vista.

I believe that one visible flaw with Vista’s speed is the over abundance of visual affects that require a great deal of resources. Disabling these unnecessary and sometimes irritating features will yield a little extra speed from Vista. Here’s how:

1. Click the Windows Orb (old Start button)
2. Type: SystemPropertiesPerformance (no spaces…type it as shown
3. Press Enter on your keyboard
4. Uncheck the features and affects you don’t need
5. Click Apply and OK
