Since the public release of Vista, a few of us have opted to upgrade, although almost all new PCs will ship with the new operating system as default. Although parts are much improved, certain aspects of Vista such as the ability to tweak and optimise hidden settings are even more inaccessible than under XP. The reason for this is that a basic vanilla operating system is pre-installed and is not always configured to maximise system resources, such as your graphics card or fast Internet connection.

TweakVista 1.1 is an optimisation tool for Microsoft’s latest operating system. It enables a user to tweak the OS to perform more effectively on a specific machine rather than work satisfactorily on a range of machines. Optimise memory; see what’s using the CPU and control startup applications, plus more.
