Windows 7 doesn't run very well on my HP Mini (Atom 280N with 2GB DDR2).
Does anyone have anyor any tips for improving the general performance of Windows 7 on netbooks?
Answer
Fine Tune Visual Graphics/Animation Settings
The Windows 7 eye candy is the main cause of GUI slowness. While my netbook has a decent graphics card that can display Aero Glass it can be choppy at times.
Click on the Start Button and type in adjust the appearance and hit Enter. This will load the Visual Effects performance options.
On this screen I suggest disabling the following settings by removing the check:
- Animate controls and elements inside windows
- Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing
- Fade or slide menus into view
- Fade or slide ToolTips into view
- Fade out menu items after clicking
- Show window contents while dragging
- Slide open combo boxes
- Click OK when you are finished.
