I have a relatively new laptop, which is a Gateway M275 Tablet PC, 40 GB hard drive, 512 MB of RAM.
It originally came with Windows XP Tablet PC edition. But of course, I wanted to upgrade, so I got Windows Vista Ultimate, and I think it is great. On top of that, I got Microsoft Office 2007 to boot.
However, my computer has been SO slow, it is horrible. If I need to get work done in a hurry, it takes FOREVER. I keep getting programs that don't respond, laptop freezes for two minutes, then unfreezes again, etc. It's horrible.
I have recently purchased a 2 GB ReadyBoost flash drive, and has seem to help a bit, but doesn't cut the cake too much.
Is there ANY way I can speed up my system? I try to close as many applications as I need to, and it still doesn't help. I don't want to buy anything else for my laptop, because I have already spent a fortune. Free software? Tweaks? Anything?
I appreciate all help! It's driving me crazy! Thanks so much!!! :)
