Windows Vista running slowly

I have Windows vista and I have my own security software. How can I remove windows updates to security because they make my computer run very slowly?

To speed up your PC, I suggest you
(1) management of start up:
msconfig in run
(2) the disk defragmentation (included in the start menu > Accessories > system tools > Disk Defragmenter)
(3) cleaning of copies (CCcleaner)
In addition, your security software, according to what it is, Norton, McAfee or Kaspersky or any brand for that matter slows down your computer. Personally, I use Avast AntiVirus. It is lighter than th brands mentioned above. Avira is also lightweight.
In addition, if your security software also includes a firewall, try to disable it if you are OK with it.
Firewall is not absolutely necessary if you have Anti Virus, anti-spyware and you use it carefully.

  • I have 2 versions of windows vista running on my computer. One is before it crashed and it took all the RAM (Ram)

    I can't clean the discs because I can't load any programs because the memory has faded.  So I can not put a page of my computer desktop or download programs, I need to get my images that I have on the other program running.  I can't open one of these programs because I don't have the authorization even if I was always the user and administrator.  What I would do.  Can I add more memory Ram?  Can I remove the old stuff that I can't open anyway.  DLLs etc.  I downloaded vista 2pr, but it does not work.

    Hello

    Here is the information from your other question here about it:

    "I can't collect any information of my system information page."  When I connect I get redirected to a page that asks me what version of vista I want to open.  One is Microsoft vista and the other is windows vista.  The Microsoft is the only one that works. The other takes me a blank page. »

    "I have 2 versions of windows vista running on my computer. One is before it crashed and it took all the RAM (Ram).

    I suggest that you save your data and reinstall the operating system properly.

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    See what methos works for you.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • Resource monitor shows Windows 7 and Windows Vista running different programs

    I followed my programs and other at quite a bit lately since my system hangs and is running more slowly.  I'm trying to understand what might be causing this. I only had Windows 7 loaded on this desktop computer, as I bought it.  However, today I noticed that in the resource monitor to the title of the CPU that Windows 7 is the context of the operating system for some programs and Windows Vista is the context of operating system for other programs (including programs based Apple).  Is this a problem? Could it be added to some of my slowness and crashes?

    This indicates the operating system, the program has been designed to target. If the application does not specify this in its manifesto, it is assigned to a context of Vista. This has been added in Windows 7 that allows new applications to benefit from new features, while older applications continue to work on the former.
