Continue to optimize Windows Vista

I believe many friends have used Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows Vista, here I introduce four more practical optimization techniques:

Tip One: Automatically defragment the disk

With the increase in the use time of the hard disk, the number of file fragments generated on the hard drive will also increase, which may have some impact on the efficiency of the system, the solution is to run Disk Defragmenter, perhaps many friends do not know, in fact, we can disk Defragmenter this very boring and time-consuming work into automatic operation , and Vista has improved a lot in the past, when it was necessary to manually register services under Windows XP systems.

Vista allows automatic defragmentation of disk fragments in the background, but the automatic schedule for this default setting is 1 o'clock in the morning every Wednesday, and I believe this time is unrealistic for most friends. If you want to know if this automatic background disk defragmentation process is working properly, or if you want to change the schedule for this program, you can click the Start button and type "Disk Defragmenter" in the Start menu search box, and immediately after the search, the window shown in Figure 1 will pop up and click the Modify Schedule button , you can then set the frequency, the day, and the time in the Disk Defragmenter: Modify Schedule window, and you don't have to say much about it.

Tip Two: Uninstall an invalid driver

With the Windows built-in driver Driver Manager, you can find the invalid drivers that remain in the system, and in many cases these already defunct drivers are one of the most important reasons for the system to crash.

Press the "Win+r" key combination to open the Run dialog box, enter "Verifier.exe" here, and run the Driver Verifier Manager automatically after execution (the English version is "Driver Checking Manager"), as shown in Figure 2, You first need to create a standard setting here, and then click the Next button to go to the window shown in Figure 3, which offers four different options:

Automatically select unsigned drivers: The default option is to verify the list of all unsigned drivers installed on this computer.

Automatically select a driver for legacy windows: Verify that the driver is installed on this computer as an older version of Windows, and the list of these drivers will be displayed when the verification is complete.

Automatically select all the drivers installed on this computer: Verify that all drivers are installed on this computer and save the current settings when the verification is complete.

Select the driver name from a list: If you suspect a driver in the system is having problems, you can manually select the driver you want to verify.

Once we have finished the selection, we can follow the on-screen prompts to complete the rest of the operation and reboot the system after the end. If you can go to the desktop correctly after restarting, you can run the Driver Verifier Manager again and select "Display current authenticated driver information", which displays the driver information that has been reviewed, and you will see a log file It contains information about whether all drivers were loaded properly when the system was started. If you encounter a blue screen during a reboot, you can restart your computer and enter Safe mode, and then uninstall the invalid driver based on the blue screen information you previously encountered, and then use the "verifier.exe/reset" command to cancel this "Driver Checking Manager" , and then you can restart the system, and then no longer appear due to the invalid driver caused the system to panic the embarrassing situation.
