  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  Hello

  More RAM generally contributes to performance, especially if you run memory intensive applications like PhotoShop.
  A faster hard drive can also help as can keep it clean and defragmented.

  Here are some performance controls and tips to help.

  Be careful that a lot of these programs and services really needs to run and often remove some
  contributes little to the speed of the machine while making the less friendly machine to use.

  A quick check to see that load method 2 is - using MSCONFIG and then display a list of the people here.

  Method 1 using Windows Defender will tell you more specific information about each program.

  ---------------------------------------------

  It's a little more complicated that you might have a few running services that you can do without.
  Be careful by disabling a service may impact the ability of other agencies to run and cause problems of
  on the road.

  Also some programs add services that might not really need to start automatically. You can
  often these type services put manual to reduce their impact on performance.

  To see these compare these in Start - type in the search box-> find Services at top right click RUN AS ADMIN
  to those of the default Vista as indicated here by BlackViper. Ignore and who are on the disabled (which do not run) or
  Manual (which work only on request) - for any automatic or automatic delayed start you can post here if
  you need help to decide if you should run. Some of these can be assigned to manual and stop so that the calling program can run them as needed.

  BlackViper made also some improvements to default windows services but I wouldn't do those unless you
  really understand the full meaning of change a default service. Then use it as a tool to compare.

  Another thing that helps performance is updated drivers - Vista like the updated drivers.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
  updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

  ReadyBoost can help, more RAM, and ReadyBoost is even better and RAM is pretty cheap these days.

  The max supported in Vista readyboost drive is 4 GB - if you get a larger drive 4 GB you can use the
  rest for storage.

  You need a very fast car and pay little attention to the demands of the manufacturers that they are ready for ReadyBoost as
  even some slow readers claim that.

  Uninstall all toolbars for Internet Explorer. These include Bing, Google, Yahoo, Foxit etc, anything that presents itself as a toolbar to the browser...

  Also uninstall anything as to MyWebSearch or any other unwanted search engine...

  Minimum memory required for Windows 7 32-bit is 1 GB and the minimum for Windows 7 64-bit is 2 GB.

  Note that they are minimums for Windows, NOT Windows as well as a bunch of other things. If you have bits and bobs like Weatherbug, Speedfan, Networx or anything that takes place in the region of notiification, you need of MORE memory.

  You need to more memory, especially when running invasive sulutions anti-virus like AVG, Norton and McAfee, Kapersky. In fact, you better a any of them works not as there are more effective and less morose autour AV solutions...

  ESET NOD32 is good if you don't mind paying, and Microsoft Security Essentials is good if you prefer free...

  Get the above done and then report back telling us how it happened... :-)

• Why can't I run the games my computer is saying that I have to download directx 8.1 or higher and I downloaded 9 and my video card is also updated wat I do?

  Why slope games i run on my computer windows 7?

  What is the name of the game, and what are your system specs, specifically the
  The model number of graphics card.

  Direct X 8.1 is an older version of Direct X and is not a part of Direct X 9, 10 or 11. They are
  all separate versions and they all have several files in them.
  Win 7 has DX9, 10 and 11, but not DX7 or 8. Well, it may come with a single file DX 8, I'm not sure if
  a game installed or not, but I have a d3d8thk.dll file.

  What method did you use to update Direct X?

  There are the Web Installer. This will install a couple of new files of DX10 and 11 as well as a few
  Files of DX9, that a new installation of Windows 7 is missing. This does not overwrite files.

  Download details: DirectX end-user performance

  Setup Redistrubitable DX is the game full of DX - 9,10 & 11 (less the two or three most recent
  files made from 2010). This installer will overwrite old DX files.
  Note that when you use this installer, it will unzip the files, but must go to the location you
  Unzip them to locate and run the DXSetup.exe to install the files in the relevant Windows folders.

  How to configure Windows to start in a "clean boot" State
  Vista: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796

  Also: You can have too many applications running in the background,
  as more than one anti-virus software application both value run
  in the "Active analysis" which will slow things down.
   
  If you want to dig deeper:
  Try Autoruns from MS Windows SysInternals site:
  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
  SysInternals Forums: http://forum.sysinternals.com/

  AutoRuns show/list all apps/etc that load/run when you first start...
  (the tab "Boot run'),
  When you connect (the 'Connect' tab) and other programs that load
  (grouped by labeled tabs) for easier viewing.

  It also offers the possibility of selectively allows you to stop
  (use with caution) any program you do not want to load.
  You can undo changes that you have made.

  Note: To get additional details an item in the list you can not
  identify easily you need to perhaps highlight the item (right click) and use
  the "Online search" option to get the details.
  particularly useful for the more obscure items in the list.

  Probably one of the most noticeable slowdowns when
  startup can be caused by the AV software Some products
  now includes "Boot Scans" and "quick scan".
  (when you sign), this compound with other programs
  which load when you open a session and you can see a notable
  downturn of a PC you have just re-installed XP has to the
  even the once installed PC on one or several products AV.

  This does not explain far too long 'Boot.
  times, but the icons see you at the end of the right hand of the
  Taskbar means your left hand must wait.
