oblivescence Posted December 25, 2007 Posted December 25, 2007 install linux. Or try the usual medicines, spyware removal, virus scan, defrag. like makaveli said, we really need to know whats under the hood before we can help. But if its lacking in the hardware, then turn off some of the eyecandy. Oh and its a laptop, it will be slower starting up. Lower speed hard drives.

squares Posted December 25, 2007 Posted December 25, 2007 Haha, my windows installer is broken and I can't fix it, I can't even install adobe acrobat. I have to wait until windows installer 4.5 redistributable to come out until I can reinstall it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClayMeow Posted December 25, 2007 Posted December 25, 2007 Vista's running fine for me. What's the specs of your laptop? Maybe turn off the added features like Aero and Sidebar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
