Make Vista Boot Faster So You Can Get Home For Dinner

Windows Vista is one of the newer operating systems on the market. It's supposed to be the latest greatest but it's a little slow when it comes to booting up. There are a few tricks to make Vista boot faster. Let's take a look at them now.

The first thing to be done is to disable any unneeded start up programs. With this done the processor and memory will have less of a workload on start up. There are many options turned on for all users that most people won't need. The OS was released like this so people wouldn't have to go configuring on there own.

Vista has many options to protect itself from tampering and will constantly ask your permission for every little thing. Vista automatically starts maintenance on itself so users don't have to. This is done by an internal scheduler and it performs this when no ones using it. Most of us prefer to do it the old fashioned way though.

The next step is defragmentation. Defragmentation takes a look at all your files and moves them to be accessed faster. This can provide a boost to the system and decrease load times. Most people can't discern an improvement though, but most people aren't computers

When you've finished with your maintenance and there are no extra startup services left running there is one final task. Virus and malicious software scanning. Basically bugs, viruses, and worms can get in your system and really mess them up. If you keep your system clean then these shouldn't affect you.

There are many other ways to make Vista boot faster but it would take to long to go over them all. Suffice to say if you take care of your system and optimize it this should do the trick. Id you find out the problem may be hardware and not software then you might want to get a new computer. Tech support is available from most vendors to help you with this.
