I help my mom out by keeping her computer running. She doesn’t know a lot about computers. I noticed that her computer was starting to be very slow on start up. I checked into what could cause vista slow startup. I found out that it was probably that her registry needed cleaned. A clogged registry is like a slow drain. It works, but it takes a really long time to do it. I went and found a really good registry cleaner, which cleaned it out and got rid of a lot of extra little things. Mom’s computer now starts up really fast.
