Also how do you uninstall a driver you dont need any more Thanks for help
Personally, I'd uninstall Vista if you want to make your laptop faster. That's the first thing I did when I purchased my laptop. Actually, I tried it with Vista for a few days and then loaded XP Pro after I couldn't stand putting up with a brand new laptop that's slow. Of course, this requires that you have access to the media and that your model of laptop has drivers for XP.
Could you give us a list? A screenshot is fine... then we can tell you what you probably will and won't need.
