Hi guys, hoping some of you can help.
I havent touched vista yet as I'm still happy running XP, but my mum just bought a new ACER pc. Its a nice little unit for the price, but it came with Vista Home Basic. I set it up for her, but my god its slow! The spec is obviously to blame - Sempron 3200, 512MB RAM.
Thing is, whilst I'm going to try and persuade her to buy some extra memory, I could really do with a few tips for turning stuff off to make it run faster. Shes a low power user - uses it for broswing the internet and MS word - thats about it. I'm hoping that like when XP came out and you could basically set it back to 2000 and save memory, theres something similiar to Vista.
Any suggestions?
