My Toshiba Satellite A135-S4527 preinstalled with Vista Home Premium has been
running slowly. Did the Disk Defragmentation. Didnt help. Did a System
Health Report , got a flagged item which said : "Average Disk Queue Length is
1. Mean 1 ; Min 0 ; Max 10 " When i click on disk help it takes me to
Windows site that tells me to defragment. Any other suggestions?

I have the exact same issue and question. I have a new Vaio running
vista and after defrag the disk length queue is 2. Windows and other
tech sites and posts responding to this issue all say to: defrag,
check available space (48%), check the amount of large applications
running now or in recent past as it could impact results of
performance scan and ensure not using two different spyware programs
as that could cause internal havoc. I've ruled all of this out and
like the others running Vista and asking this question still have the
issue. Does anyone have any suggestions?

As additional info I've also had problems with timeouts and shut downs/
critical errors but after diagnostics can't find any other problems.
Please help.

As a side note on the 'fun with Vista' topic, I've also learned after
much pain Motorola Surfboard modem is incompatable with Vista despite
patches designed for Vista. In additional to just not working it
created huge issues and took days to resolve. Uggh. Just a word to
the wise avoid at all costs for now.

I'm running an old Surfboard 4100 with no issues at all and have installed
many for customers and had no problems whatsoever.

Well I learned how to fix that problem, becausee I had the same. Well first
open up 'Computer' then right click on your hard drive, and do a disk
cleanup. When it opens click "Files from all users", then when it finishes go
to more options, and clear your restore dates. That gave me 20GB's back, and
ran smoothly and faster.
