Disabling Windows Vista Aero

February 28th, 2008 by Markus Leave a reply »

If you have a copy of Windows Vista and you need to run it faster then perhaps you should disable the Vista Aero desktop feature (Note: if your computer does not have the appropriate graphics cards then you will not even be running Aero). To check if your computer is running Aero and disable it then just do the following, or watch the video (new feature to PC Error Free!);

  • Right click your desktop
  • Click personalize
  • Click windows color and appearance
  •  If the appearance setting box shows up you are probably not running Aero (but you can check this from the list)
  • If you see the windows color and appearance box then click the open classic appearance link
  • In the color scheme drop down click windows vista basic
  • Click apply (could take a few seconds)
  • Now click OK and you are done
