Try turning off the Themes and Desktop Window Manager services.

Windiws Vista will use up to one Gibibit of system memory to cache commonly used software products on your machine. As the others have said, you should try to disable themes completely by disabling the Windows Theme service. If you do not know how to disable the service, type 'msconfig' (without quotes) in the search bar on the start menu. Go to the services tab, scroll down to Themes and uncheck it. A system reboot is required for changes to take effect.

Also, if you're using a version of Windows Vista that supports Aero, turn it off since it requires more video processing and even more system memory.

In the long run, if Windows Vista is running sluggish on your computer, I highly recommend formatting your hard disk and installing Windows XP.

services.msc is easier to use than msconfig for disabling services, just find the ones you want to disable, right click, go to properties and set them to Disabled.

You can always get a job and purchase new hardware. That works a lot better anyway.

or instead of paying money for a RAM upgrade you could just install XP. Saves time, money and effort.

Why not just run XP Razz

Because there are already games that require vista as an operating system. Also, as windows creates newer operating systems, they slowly begin to drop support to the older ones.

Vista transformation pack from windows X, a 90% accurate copy of windows vista's gui, replaces all icons, sounds, cursors, and effects with vista's. Can be applied to 1 user, or all users without effecting the entire PC.

Google windows vista transformation pack 7

Actually....I just misread, i thought he wanted xp to vista, now he wants vista to xp...no idea.
