anyone using windown vista ?

It is really strange. Even i heard that vista slows down your computer and stuffs. But i installed it a week back and experienced that vista is actually is faster than XP for me (I havn't isntalled anything in vista). I am having dual boot windows. I am having the following Specifications, Intel Pentium 2.4 512 mb RAM 128 mb VGA 100 gb hard disk What edition of vista are you using, if you are using home premium, that needs minimum 512 mb ram and if you are using Ultimate you need atleast 1 GB ram. Have you enabled Aero glass theme, turning off aero will improve the performance vastly. Have a nice day

I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium. I don't really have a choice 'cause it's pre-installed already when I bought the laptop. Maybe you could give us a little more details to sort the problem out. If you just upgrade it from XP, it really eats up a lot more memory. Your RAM should be at least 1 GB or much better if it's higher 'cause if not, it will definitely slow down your computer or worst it'll make it crash for being so bloated along with many programs installed. If the problem is not in your RAM, maybe your computer has a virus that makes it run slow, run a whole computer scan and spyware scan to check. It would help if you would give us other details about your computer 'cause there's so many reasons why a computer is slowing down. Well, hope you'll fix it soon.

Do you know that vista is not a stable operating system that hasbeen released by microsoft and it didnt hit the market. It has many flaws and it makes a pc very slow after few months of usage. My friend has a hp pavilion laptop with dual core 2 ghz processor, 3gb ram and 320 gb harddisk, but vista runs very very slow on his pc, it took about 35 minute to uninstall norton antivirus from the laptop. He is thinking to change his operating system to windows XP but I told him to hold on as microsoft is continiously working to release the nest operating system named Windows 7. Windows 7 will be a dream operating system in terms of performence and visual style. I have already used the beta version of it and belive me the beta version was lightning fast and easy to use. Just wait for Windows 7 to come finaly.

no, I do not use Windows Vista 32bit, but I use Windows XP Service Pack 2. And, I think Windows Vista is less compatible with the graphics card you have. You need a driver that is compatible with graphics cards that you have, and the size of 1gb of RAM required for Windows Vista. Which makes your computer is slow because of problems compatiblity the hardware and software.

u need at-least 1GB RAM...I have tried vista on 512MB RAM, it makes the system slow...below r the requirements for vista:- [i]Processor: 800Mhz-1Ghz RAM: 512MB-1.5GB Graphic Card: 32MB-128MB or more Hard Disk Space: 10GB-20GB or more

Vista looks awsome and can do cool things, but generally, the flashier something is the more memory and things it uses up. If I was running XP on my laptop, I'd have a ton of free space, but because of Vista, it's taking up most of my computers resources. Vists's a beast lol. My laptop was one of the top ones a few years ago when Vista was new, if you forget the hardcore gamers laptops, and mine could've run a little faster from the beginning, even out of the box. Windows 7 is coming soon, though, which is Microsoft's replacement for Vista. It's supposed to run faster than Vista, and looks about the same. There'a actually a free Beta copy out now that you can download, but I wouldn't recommend it until they work out some of the bugs.
