Got a vista OS pre-installed in your system? Well you are not alone- most newly bought desktop and laptop systems come with one. A pre-installed Vista platform is usually the common cause of endless complains among computer users. Software incompatibility issues here and there, very off-putting copyrights and user-agreements, hardware incompatibilities, and most of all, the slow system which put the whole thing down ground zero in terms of efficiency and functionality.

However, complaining about the systems drawbacks time and again will not do your system any good, nor would improve your working performance. How about a few tips about tweaking your windows vista OS into a faster and more efficient machine? Here are some tips which most of you might not have any idea about:

Remove Unnecessary Programs at Start-Up

By default, your system is configured to start several processes and programs once you boot your computer. Truthfully, some of these programs are not needed by your system, and are just pre-configured to start immediately. These programs eat up the space allocated by your computer to function properly and usually lead to a slow response of the system.

To stop non-essential programs from starting during boot, just click Start> Run> and type in Services.msc. In the window, uncheck those programs which are not usually used. Be cautious, however, in unchecking programs as you may stop those essential processes.

Unleash the abilities of your USB Flashdrive

USB Flashdrives are a very common thing nowadays and it’s gradually becoming a necessity for employees and even students. They are good devices to stash all types of files and what’s cooler is that they are highly portable and mobile unlike floppy disks and compact disks.

Flashdrives, in fact, can be used as a resource for a system’s better performance. Just plug it in a USB port and when the autoplay prompt appears, choose Speed Up My System and adjust the amount of memory you wish to be allocated for your computer’s performance.

Disable Security Prompts

Vista is a highly secured platform which necessitates several prompts regarding security during installation, copying of files, and other functions. There are several programs in the internet today which allows one to tweak the security prompts such as the TweakVI. Expect, however, that there might be some risks in terms of security but if the computer you are using is personal and used by no one but you, it would not be a big deal.

Vista may be a little too hard and unfriendly because of its drawbacks; however, there are some tips and tweaks available over the internet to allow a user to improve his system into a better one. Before deciding to down-grade your system through a clean install, try out some of these tips and who knows, it might just work out well for you. Good luck on your tweaking!
