ive just bought a brand new easynote laptop and ive upgraded it to run vista
rc1 by putting a gig of ram in with what is already installed (512mb)
my laptop has the vista capable sticker on it so its supposed to run on it
but after a sucessful install i thought great, But when i went to run it a
found it slow it takes about 15 minutes to load anything, the screen takes
ages to refresh even with the lowest settings you can have, one thing i do
find odd is it says none of the processor resourses are being used at all i
think you need to address this problem and please can you contact me by email
to give me some suggestions on how to rectify the speed issues

do you have make a clean installation? I have a 5 years old PC with 768MB
RAM and Vista RC1 was very fast.
 
I have a similar problem, clean install with no additional software loaded.
Each mouse click takes about 5 seconds for any action. It was worse before I
downloaded the Radeon Video drivers. 3 Ghz Dual COre processor with 512 MRAM
in use. Similar indications that system shows no processes taking any
processor time. Ran in Safe mode and the speed is fine.
Confused, will try to eleminate running processes to improve performance
 
RC1 was pretty snappy for me...stable too in contrast to some of the beta
installs for me (no big deal, after all...it's pre-release). I did an
upgrade-install to RC2. It's still stable, but quite sluggish. I tried a
number of quick-fix items, including another reinstall over the top of the
OS, but it's still pokey in just about every click I do. Even typing in a
web address the computer can't seem to keep up with my typing. I'll be
looking to do a clean install off a freshly-nuked hard drive to see if
that's what I'm looking at.

System specs:
AMD 3000+ (32-bit)
1.5GB RAM
128MB GeForce 5500
250GB HDD w/8MB cache
 
I read about 50% fast and 50% slow, Is there a cure for us with slow running
Vista op systems?
 
My Pc is having the same problem, when i startup vista normaly it will take
about 15 mins once fully loaded it will only allow me to open and close some
windows or try and load a webpge before freezing again for about 10mins no
processes are being using nothing im running it in safe mode right now and as
you can see everything is fine i can surf and check my files runs perfect but
thats all i can get out of it really starting to wonder if i should turn back
to XP.
I read somewhere that i should disable SERVICES but ive seen no improvement
any help out there?
 
Did anyone ever solve this?? It's 18 months since Greg posted this, but I
can't find a solution anywhere. My PC waits for 6, 12, or 18 seconds on
almost every mouse click - and it then recalibrates the floppy disk(!) - it
makes Vista completely unusable. I've got all the latest patches. FYI, I
have 32-bit Vista Business u/g installed on an HP w8000 workstation with dual
1.7GHz Xeons and 1GB RAM (the most it can take). Pagefile.sys is on a
separate hard disk. I've done battle with Vista for 4 months over this, and
really think I've got to go back to XP.
