I bought a laptop with Vista and it runs really slowly

If you bought your computer or laptop within the first 6 months of Windows Vista being release, you probably don't have enough RAM.

We would recommend at least 1gb of RAM but the more the better.

Early Vista laptops were shipped with 512mb (1/2gb) of RAM which is way too small for running Vista.

RAM (Random access memory) is like a desk, the more desk space you have, the more things you can work on at the same time.  The more RAM you have equals a bigger desk.... 

If you have 1gb or RAM or less, consider having a RAM upgrade.
