How to Speed Up Windows Vista

To disable this feature, perform the following procedure:

1. Click on the Start Button
   
   
2. Select “Control Panel”
   
   
3. Select “Programs”
   
   
4. Select “Turn Windows Features On and Off”
   
   
5. Uncheck the box next to “Windows Error Reporting Service”
   
   

   (At this point you can uncheck other boxes as well, if you desire.)

6. Click “Apply” (Give Windows time to finish processing your action)
   
   
7. Click “Restart” (if that’s the only feature you want to disable), or click “Restart Later” (to continue working).
   
   

Restarting your computer will take some time to complete. (After the computer has restarted and returned to Windows, you will notice a speed improvement.)

Also, at some point (before or after restarting the computer) you must disable this feature in the “Services” panel. To do that:

1. Click the Start button
   
   
2. Typing “services” in the "Start Search" field and pressing Enter.
   
   
3. In the list of commands find and double-click “Windows Error Reporting Service”.
   
   
4. Click on the “Startup type” drop-down menu, select “Disabled”, and click “OK.”
