Is there a program available like TWEAK XP that will allow me to tweak Vista or streamline it.
Similarly, is there a guide or set of instructions to streamline Vista. I recall that with XP there was a guide that recommended disabling a series of programs/operations through System Services which were not really needed which allowed XP to run faster.
Thanks in advance

How to streamline Vista? Downgrade back to XP!
Many thanks to egghead for the cool .sig
Aint that the truth. as soon as I'm done studying for my microsoft MCITP cert gonna re-image this laptop with XP again.
Blackviper's site has a reg file generator tool for vista - though I have found Vista runs great in my new laptop - but then, my laptop is four times the computer my desktop is.

I have XP on one PC and Vista on the newer system. When I asked the retailer to load XP and not Vista on my new system they said they couldn't do that. Believe me if I could have purchased XP I would have.
Vista is so problem prone and the compatibility issues!!!!
Well thanks all

Honestly, I am seeing nothing wrong with Vista. It's 64 but runs 32 applications as well (and seemingly faster) as my XP desktop

LK I bet if you took an image of your vista install then wiped it and installed xp it would be alot faster.
vLite is a streamlined Vista install, created by a member of msfn.org. MS advises against it, but it's there. Tweak VI is a subscription-based 3rd-party app designed to fill the Tweak UI void. XdN Tweaker is a freeware Vista tweaker. Search http://shellcity.net/ for others.
Then there the old standbys: X-Setup, jv16. With the exception of vLite, I use all the above.
As to Vista, I'm with LK. My install is 32-bit, but faster and more elegant than using XP.
Last night, I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I'll never know.

I have to agree. No problems at all with anything that I have tried to run so far....Originally Posted by usergame
Same here, no problems with Vista but I wouldn't venture to say that it's faster than XP maybe a bit slower.I have to agree. No problems at all with anything that I have tried to run so far....
I like eye-candy so it may be worth the few tenths of a second in response time. I suppose if I set to "best performance" rather than "let windows decide" it may shave some time off.
