I know that Windows runs super slow in some people’s machine. And try as hard as you can but you can seldom find a good reason for the slowing up or a remedy to it. So here is a surprising Technical support which can improve your Windows booting time. if you uninstall your unused fonts. Believe it or not it happens because it simply frees up a whole lot of memory of Windows when it boots.
Technical Trick
1. Simply go to Window’s Fonts Folder. Using CTRL key select all fonts that you never/rarely use and just press the DEL key.
Though I don’t like the first method because it deletes all the fonts. Here is a very dumb but effective process to retain the fonts and still delete them from that folder.
2. Simply stop the loading up of unused fonts at system startup (instead of completely deleting them). For this, just COPY all unused fonts from the Window’s Fonts Folder and PASTE them at any other location on hard drive. Now DELETE all the unused Fonts (those you recently copied to another location) from the Window’s Fonts Folder.
The next time Windows Boots up, it will definitely be faster than previous boots.
What you can do when your device is not detected, This post provide technical support and step by step instruction to troubleshoot this issue.

This addtion provide Windows vista support to back up your files. It provide tips for how to back up your files.
Much like rotating the tires on my car every 6,000 miles or scheduling a regular checkup at the dentist, backing up the files on my computer is one of those things that I need to do, but for some reason don’t. I promise myself that I’ll get around to these tasks some other time when I’m not as busy. However, I know that if a cavity-ridden molar causes me to wince in pain or I lose all the music and family photos saved on my computer, I can blame no one but myself for not taking preventive steps.
I recently decided that enough was enough. One Saturday morning, I drove my car to a local garage to get the tires rotated, scheduled an appointment with my dentist, and then returned home to back up my com
How to Take Back Up
Once I got started, I discovered that backing up the files on my computer wasn’t complicated or time consuming. All I did was start the wizard and decide where to save the backup, what type of files to back up, and when the backup should happen. Windows Vista took care of the rest.
To start a backup, click the Start button, click Control Panel, click System and Maintenance, click Backup and Restore Center, and then click Back up files.
