Hi all,
I want to reduce the no of process running in start up, however, I don't know what these process are, would anybody help me out with this? Thank you!!!

My computer is vista, it is very slow.
And I also want to know that, except reducing the number of start up process, is there any other way to speed up vista?

Regards,
Raymons

reported a long startup list and general slowness on Vista. Before changing anything, create a System Restore point and make a quick record (screenshot or text) of current startup entries so changes are reversible. Small, one-at-a-time changes and a reboot after each change make it easy to spot which item actually helps.

As noted, a startup-manager is a convenient way to toggle entries; for manual control use msconfig (Start -> type msconfig). In the Startup tab uncheck nonessential items to test. In the Services tab check “Hide all Microsoft services” before disabling third-party services so core OS services are not accidentally turned off. Judge each entry by its file path and publisher: items running from Windows system folders or signed by the OS vendor are usually needed; third-party utilities, auto-updaters and trial/bloatware are common safe candidates for testing.

For a deeper view, use an autorun-auditing tool that shows every autostart location (logon, scheduled tasks, drivers, Explorer extensions). Use Resource Monitor (resmon) or Task Manager to see whether CPU, memory or disk I/O is the real bottleneck before buying hardware. Boot logging (msconfig -> Boot -> Boot log) helps identify slow drivers. After confirming a change improves boot time, create a new restore point.

Cautions: do not disable antivirus/security software, backup agents or device drivers unless certain they are unnecessary. If hardware limits are revealed (sustained high memory or I/O), consider a hardware improvement (more RAM or faster storage) as the most effective way to reduce overall startup and responsiveness issues.

Check Ccleaner and click tools tab. There you can enable/disable them

Also maybe your comnputer has too little RAM. It needs at least 2 gig.

Check the amount of free hard drive space available. The OS will get very slow if the hard drive is nearly full.
