Hi , Just got a new acer pc with Vista - very slow performance while mving
betwen say - media gallery an music - is vista a problem - xp seemed better.

Can anyone suggest is it a common prolem - and when will it be fixed
 
Kinda short on info...laptop or desktop? if laptop integrated video? how
much ram reserved? how much system ram? did you remove all the Acer
Crapware? what is your anti virus program?

The problem probably is not Vista, the problem is most likely a memory
shortfall or too much Acer "stuff" taking priority of your computer.

If you just bought the computer, remove the crapware, check the ram, if it
does not have 2gb of ram, install that much or take it back and exchange it
for one that has 2gb of ram.
 
I also have an Acer laptop but not sure what Acer crapware to remove. I
was told that you have to have the recovery thing because since you don't
get a recovery disc or an vista disc to fall back on, Acer recovery is used
to make the disc's.

I have Vista Home basic with 1024RAM but actually shows 1016 RAM. Would the
Acer GridVista be considered crapware?

I dumped NIS 2007. Then I dumped AVG Internet Suite (in your face all
the time, slowed down quad core 6GB system). Norton IS 2008 was a
surprise and relief. That did something right. In the past, Norton was a
plague and its been... back to early Peter Norton era when it was a fine
product.

Vista will take whatever hardware and memory you can throw its way;
cache all your files; and it seems fast on my system, except Windows
Media Player Library.

I have tens of thousands of photos and Photo Gallery doesn't have any
trouble. But WMP seems weak and lacking, especially if you have music,
video.
 
There is a program I really like, called "Spybot search & destroy"
http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html if you go into the advanced mode.
Tools, system startup, it tells you what starts with your pc & some
suggestions as to what they do, you can uncheck them there without the wrath
of vista ;-).
