A common problem shared among many new Vista users is excessive CPU usage, which can quickly deteriorate overall system performance. If your computer system meets the recommended requirements for Vista, but you are still experiencing slow downs, you will need to perform some investigative work to determine the cause of the problem.
First, press CTRL-ALT-DELETE and click Start Task Manager to launch the Windows Task Manager. Select the Processes tab to view all currently running processes (or programs) and then click the CPU column heading to organize the processes by the amount of CPU resources they're consuming. If you discover a process that is using a high percentage of CPU or memory resources, try to determine if the program is necessary. Some Vista components must run at all times but third party programs are not necessary for the core operation of Windows, so check to see if you can change the program settings so it isn't running constantly. If you can't change the settings, look for a replacement program that dosen't consume as many resources. |
