You might have bought a PC running Windows Vista with shared video and average specs. You would not really notice the drag in performance until you begin to install applications and when that happens you might consider disabling Windows Vista Aero.
Disabling Aero is simple; right click on the desktop and Click on Personalize:
Click on Window and Color Appearance.
On the Color Scheme drop down, choose a lesser scheme other than aero, then click ok.
You will notice a big performance difference when disabling Windows Aero.The color scheme is great but with limited hardware, it would be best to keep a low maintenance Windows Vista PC.
My question is: Every time I have a video clip from a website, I try to opened by pressing play, and all I get is a blank screen. The only way I can watch the video is by downloading the clip and it takes to much time. Before I was using Window XP and never had a problem. Please reply.
Thanks!!
I see, its quite useful.
