My Toshiba laptop has windows vista and it is performing very slowly. How can I try to speed up my system? I know there is something I can do with the startup processes but I do not know which ones I should touch and which ones I shouldn't
Thank you for your help

processor is intel celeron M cpu 520 @ 1.6ghz
Ram 446mb
32bit op sys.
windows vista
80G hard drive
is this what you are asking for?
You have the bare minimums for Vista to run. It will not run fast on this machine.
There is nothing to be done except return the unit if the performance is unacceptable.

The bad news is if it came out the box this slow there is usually not much to do about it except to begin the return process and buy one that works better.

U need at least 512 ram in order to run vista basic and celeron
might not be powerful enough to run vista,on the other hand i have friends who run vista basic with 512 ram with intel core duo processor laptop tends to run a bit slow so not suprisingly ur pc tend to run slower.
And let me tell you, it works 100% better now that I loaded Windows XP on it.
I would LOVE to know how you loaded XP on it.. did toshiba do it for you? I am HATING vista right now!!!
