Re: Speed Up the Performance of Vista

Alright. Thank you for the quick answer. I'll take a look at the resource monitor. But I won't be able to do a System Restore since part of your tutorial was deleting all but the most recent ones.

Re: Speed Up the Performance of Vista

Is SP1 better than SP2 and SP3? Is that why you say install SP1?

Re: Speed Up the Performance of Vista

Hello Shortmanstuff,

While installing any service pack can help fix bugs and improve performance in Vista, SP1 is required to be installed before SP2 can be installed. That's all.

There is not a Vista SP3 yet though.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Re: Speed Up the Performance of Vista

Okay. I have SP2 so it must have installed SP1 prior to that then.

Only 2 service packs. Pshhh, Microsoft better get on top of that

Re: Speed Up the Performance of Vista

Hello Sroblesc, and welcome to Vista Forums.

I'm not certain what the problem is, but you can see if doing a System Restore using a restore point dated before this problem may be able to fix it for you.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Re: Speed Up the Performance of Vista

Do you consider making a similar setup for Windows 7? Although it is fast to start with, faster is always better! =)
