My computer has been running intolerably slow on Windows Vista Ultimate, and one of the main cuprits that results in all sorts of slowdowns is that Windows Media Center. It cannot really be removed, because it’s part of Windows, but you can DISABLE and STOP it from running. That will give a lot of relief and make your Windows Vista Experience much faster:
- 1. Click on “Start”
- Click on “Run” and edit “services.msc”
- A windows will appear. Find all these services and disable them: Windows Media Center Extender Service, Windows Media Center Receiver Service, Windows Media Center Scheduler Service, Windows Media Center Service Launcher (and other services which have the launch or launcher word and thast are related with WMC)
- Click on “Start” again
- Click on “Run” and edit “MSConfig”
- Go to “Startup” tab
- Uncheck those entries which have the ehome as path such as ehTray.exe. This will prevent MCE to start when you turn on your PC.
- Done!
Now to make the changes permanent you need to turn off and on your computer. Once done you should experience a faster, lighter Windows Vista! For more Vista news, trick and hacks click here. If you want to have a really lighter Windows Vista click here.
