Is it possible, under Microsoft Vista Home Premium, to disable all the unnecessary animations, colour schemes and other things that slow down the system? If so, how? |

Right-click on Computer, select properties. Click on Advanced System settings in the L/H pane. Click on Settings under "performance". There you can turn off ALL graphic functions... HTH |

Gordon's solution (RC My Computer, Properties, Advanced System Settings, Performance) is the best solution for getting rid of the Vista eye candy. If you set for "adjust for best performance" you will have the visual experience of Windows 2000. I had to do this in order to view DIVX files and DVD's smoothly on my brand new HP DV6000 with a 2GHz AMD Turion. ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |

Yup- Performance Options -> select Adjust for best performance. It turns off all the eye candy. Control Panel -> Performance Information and Tools -> Adjust visual effects "Ryan P" <rdeletepaque@wi.delete.rr.com> wrote in message news:1ecca$48c04711$10334@news.teranews.com... > Pekka Numminen wrote: >>> Right click on the desktop and select Personalization, then Window Color >>> and Appearance.
