Microsoft has increased both the power and complexity of its popular Windows operating system with the release of Windows Vista. The TweakVista tweaking utility helps you configure Windows Vista to meet your personal needs by improving performance and customizing system settings.

Changelog:

• Security Handling: Users can now easily and safely adjust the way Windows handles security prompting including the new UAC (User Account Control).
• Memory Optimization: TweakVista knows which start-up services different types of users will typically use and offers recommendations on what services to disable. Users can easily switch between different profiles (including the default) based on their needs to maximize performance and memory use. In addition, TweakVista now leverages Crucialtm, a system scanner to show the user how to upgrade their memory, linked directly from our software to allow users to see what slots they have open and what type of memory to buy.
• Resource Control: Tweak Vista has several features for keeping an eye on and flagging programs that use excessive amounts of resources (memory, CPU, or system handles) as well as integrating seamlessly with built in hardware diagnostic reports.
• Start-Up Management: TweakVista not only will display and enable users to control what programs are loading on start-up but will identify in plain English what these programs do. Internet integration in the software allows users to comment on these processes within the program to one another.
• Performance Assessments: TweakVista uses the new Windows Vista assessment features to benchmark nearly every aspect of a user’s PC and allow them to submit their results for comparison with other users of similar or upgraded hardware.
• TweakVista.com Integration: TweakVista partners the software development skills of Stardock with the on-going tweak expertise of www.TweakVista.com to provide an ongoing live database of helpful tips and tricks for maximizing the Windows Vista experience.
