Using Performance Information and Tools in Vista

Windows Vista comes with a handy set of tools for diagnosing and troubleshooting system problems.This is under the “Performance Information and Tools” section.

Wouldn’t it be handy if we can glance at all the system issues in one go and can immediately correct them?

Vista provides this capability of reporting existing system problems and also fixes them on own be it an outdated driver or some system settings that are not compatible with the system.

Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Performance Information and Tools.Click on the Advanced Tools link.

Notice the Performance issues tab there.This will have all the problems that exist in Vista and which can be fixed in a jiffy.

Here Vista has reported display settings as sub-optimal.Clicking on the problem will pop up a dialog box with a very useful event viewer link pinpointing the reported problem that helps in tracking down the exact error in Vista.

This feature saves a lot of troubleshooting time as well as ensures that all reported problems can be fixed on own by Vista like a self tuning system.

Hope this has been an informative post.

Peace.
