What's wrong with my pc these days?

[VampDude]

yes, but you have to right click on ccleaner and say run as administrator.

Everything has to be done by an administrator on Vista, it's annoying. Hopefully I will be able to temporarily sort my Vista out before I think of backing everything to an external hard drive and going back to XP, Vista was cool to start with (about 7 months ago) and now I see it's just horrible to use! (and Microsoft suck)

my vista is not slow at all, its simple to set stuff to run as an adminirator, ive also disabled UAC as it is anoying and i see no real point to it. for me vista is great, though it does use alot of ram, if ur having trouble just set it to best preformance while running games (makes it look like windows 98 temporarily).
i have 2500 MB ram though so i normally have no problems there, and 4.8 GHz takes care of me speed wise, but durring games i set it to best preformace... untill my Nvidia GEFORCE 8800 ultra comes in, then i will have POWER! MUHHAAHAHA

Vista isn't slow at all on my PC, but I find that the software just isn't as good as it should be. It has a long way to go before many people will even consider upgrading from XP due to the software issues, I haven't played any decent games on my PC for a good 7 months (except NES/SNES) all my decent games run on my mums PC which is running XP which is very sad indeed (as I have a better performance PC).

The administrator thing is annoying, but at the same time it's a security measure (thou I don't know why it pops up over-frequently) ???

thats why i turned it off, thats what UAC is. but you still need to tell things to run as an administrator even with it off

Here's my problem.......

An old computer with windows 2000 that has i think 500 mb of RAM. We have uninstalled everything we had earlier and its still slow. For example, if i try to open up the internet, it takes 2 min to open the window and 3 min to display the page. I have tried defragmentation, but no luck.
