Download media player classic

The official site for the player is http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli2/, but I find the best way to download the player is by downloading at http://codecguide.com/ or http://etplanet.net/download/files.php?cat=17. Not only will you get the player but almost every codec known to mankind!

This works on everything from Windows 98 to Vista.

Upgrade your graphics card

If insist on using Aero Glass and all the special effects from Vista then you need a reasonably decent graphics card. Make sure the graphics card is at least 128 MB ram. When buying a new graphics card, you might want to consider the noise, heat and the power it consumes (so that you don't also have to upgrade your power supply).

Add more memory

If you have less than 1GB ram then this will probably be the best thing that you can do to speed up your computer. I recommend that you put in at least 2GB if possible, you can put in 4GB in your computer, but note Vista (32 bit) only supports up to 3GB of memory. If you do plan to put in more than 4GB then you should get Vista 64 bit OS.
