Well service pack one has been out for Vista for around a month now. Even with service pack one though vista still has some bugs to work out, and of course it still runs slow "right out of the box". At SabreTech we have found some things that will help make your new Vista machine run like a new machine.

1. Remove any programs that you don't use that came from the manufacturer, i.e., Dell Pre-installed Software.

2. Turn off that annoying "do you want to continue box", which is actually called user account control. To do that; hit the start button, in the search box type in user accounts, when the search box brings up the user accounts in the start menu click on it. Once user accounts opens, click on "Turn User Account Control on or off". Uncheck the "Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer" box, then hit OK. Of course windows will ask you to continue one more time and then for a reboot. Reboot your computer and that will no pop up again.

3. This is probably the biggest thing that will speed up Vista, however you will lose the 3D look of Vista. Right click on "Computer" and go to properties. Once the system page opens click on "Advanced System Settings" on the right hand side. Then you will see three different headings on the "Advanced" tab. Under the "Performance" heading click the settings box. On the "Performance Options" window that pops up, on the "Visual Effects" tab, select the radial button next to "Adjust for best performance". Hit apply and ok. After that Vista has a more familiar look and will run a lot faster.

OF COURSE YOU COULD JUST BRING THE COMPUTER DOWN TO SABRETECH AND WE WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO THIS ALL FOR YOU!!!
