My Vista is very slow - I have uninstalled Norton and replaced with Avast which helps - but grateful for any further advice.

    how much ram?

    do you need the aol/talk talk/symantec software installed?

    do you use lightscribe discs - if not, disable the service using services.msc

    disable windows defender - see sticky thread for instructions.

    you could disable these using msconfig/startup tab, and re-enable (or run manually) if you notice any problems subsequently.

    uninstall any old printer software - dell/epson?

    turn off web feeds unless you need them - IE, tools, internet options, content, feeds and web slices, settings

    ...apologies for the delay in replying but had a family bereavement a while back.

    I will try and delete the old broadband software (Symantec and AOL) as helpfully suggested and any old printer software - but PC still slow. Did run a new hijack below since last time as below- I have 512 MB RAM but operate on Vista is it worthwhile expanding my memory? other tips much appreciated:

    iNstalled RAM now:

    vista doesn't really work on less than 1.5GB of RAM if tweaked down a bit, ideally 2GB is needed, so yes, upgrade your RAM for vista if you want it to run significantly better :)

    If you've been following the sticky, you should have CCleaner installed - go to Tools (lhs) > Startup, and you can probably disable everything in that list except your antivirus. highlight the entry by left-click on it, then use the Disable button on the right. Then reboot. If any issues happen, you can just re-enable the offending process in the same bit of CCLeaner.
    ......Gettin' There, Wherever There is......

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D

    Bimmey - Vista on 512mb - must be the last in existence!!!!!

    Go with Gunjacks advice and up to 2gb RAM minimum - use Cruciual's scanner prorgam to determine whats needed: http://www.crucial.com/uk/systemscanner/?click=true
