    Defragment maybe?

    Also when Vista is brand new install, its indexing files and things so that may be making it run slightly slower.

    Just make sure you have all the drivers installed and they are all right there on the disk.

    Insert your G50V Drivers CD. On the window that pops up (if auto run enabled) or by double clicking on the CD Drive, look for the button in the bottom that says "Advanced" I think.

    Clicking on this will scan your system for what you have and gray out what's already on it.

    This is useful since not all drivers and items installed from the CD will appear in Programs & Features.
