If you have a computer that runs on Windows Vista, you may be
wondering how you could speed it up. If you want this operating
system to run more efficiently, then read along to learn more.
Special tools might be needed for some methods while others require
no extra effort. We’ll be looking at several approaches for
speeding up Windows Vista in this article.

 

There are tons of reasons why a computer might not be running
at the finest speed. This may involve the errors of being
infrequent in cleaning up your browser cache, not cleaning up your
registry or having viruses or other malware. However, in some cases
the problem is even more basic, you need more memory. If your
computer is operating on the smallest amount of RAM necessary for
it, at some point you will be able to see that your computer is
having troubles. The best thing you can do, if your computer is
already running on the recommended 1GB of RAM, is to add one more
GB of RAM. For sure, if you already have more than enough memory
and you are still experiencing issues, then you need to look for
more alternatives, although this is one of the first things you
should look into. By going to your desktop and cleaning it of
anything you don’t use, will speed up your Windows Vista. If you
have a cluttered desktop, you probably have icons and files you
haven’t looked at in months or longer. There’s a good chance that
you wouldn’t miss many of these, so delete anything that’s not
important to you. Create shortcuts on your desktop for files that
you frequently use. Your computer needs to have more operating
memory to give more efficient use in opening files. Shortcuts, as
the name implies, speed up the time it takes to do things. Cleaning
up your desktop will probably enhance your computer’s speed, and it
will also make it easier for you to find what you’re looking
for.

 

Defragmenting your hard drive is also a great way to improve
the performance of your system. When you download files, you are
creating fragmentation, and it can continue overtime if left
unchecked. You will encounter more fragmentation the more files you
are constantly manipulating.

 

If you want your computer to run smoother, then just run a
program called Disk Defragmenter to organize this data. If you’ve
had your computer for some time, you will probably find a vast
amount of fragmented data that has been changing the way your
system functions. You have the option to program Disk Defragmenter
to run automatically at designated times or run at your
convenience. Whatever you decide, your operating system will thank
you if you continue to have it done regularly.

 

The information offered above only covers some of the options
for speeding up Windows Vista, there are actually even more options
out there. You need to carefully browse around your computer and
conclude which areas have the potential to run more efficiently and
also where there are messes, files, programs or applications that
are useless. You can make Windows Vista run quicker after you have
double-checked that you have optimized each setting in every doable
way.
