Re: Slow Vista Home Premium PC - lots of disk thrashing

What could cause a Vista Home Premium PC to run very slowly and with
constant disk thrashing?

If it's a new install, it'll die down of its own accord in a couple of
days.

If it's not a new install and running Business or Ultimate, turn off
System Restore to disable the Volume Shadow Copy Service.

It could simply be the defragmenter or indexer running.

As a Brit I'd like to thank the Americans for their help in the war
against terror because if they'd not funded the IRA for 30 years, we
wouldn't know how to deal with terrorists.
