Defragment your hard disk
Defragmenting your hard disk is one way you can speed up your Windows Vista computer. Files can become fragmented while using your computer. If a file is fragmented, it is in pieces and scattered throughout the hard disk. When you load the file, it has to search for it in parts, which takes longer for it to come up. If you defrag your computer, it puts the files back together again and they load much faster.

When the program opens, click the Analyze Disk button. It will analyze the hard disk and let you know if you need to defrag. If you do, click the Defragment Disk button. This process may take some time to complete, depending upon how defragmented your hard disk is.

Remove unnecessary start up programs

Click the Startup tab and uncheck the items you do not want to start up. Only uncheck those items that you know are okay. There are some processes that need to start up. Click OK when you are finished. You will be prompted to reboot your computer to save the changes.
