upgraded to vista and now seems slower to load

[stacked2008]

I had an xp and sold it and upgraded to a hp fusion with vista
when i turn on the cpu i find its slower to load and open up programs?
is there any way around this?

in the start up session is there any way to speed things up?

Thanks

It's vista, and as of now is not as good as xp. you also have an hp, what specs is it?

I recently went back to xp, not because of performance issues but i will say once back on xp it is faster and more responsive.

As above what are your specs?

Vista requires a lot of system power and resources, 512mb ram (1GB better), a 1ghz+ CPU and 15-20gb of hard disk space. Most original windows xp machines pre-vista release won't run the O.S at all or not very well due to minimal power and hardware support including drivers.

try to install all the updates available. When I reformatted with Vista RTM it was painfully slow to even copy files and move them around. Once I did all the updates it seems they improved on the speed quite a bit.
