I just bought a new Toshiba A215 with vista home premium. It has one GB of Ram and goes quite slow. I noticed that there is a ton of stuff preinstalled. Can anyone write a list of which programs I can safely uninstall without affecting the computer? I dont know what's good to keep and what to remove.

Thanks for the help.

Start/control panel/programs and features.
Pretty much anything in the list is unneccessary.
Keep updates.
Depends what you want to keep.
I would keep a firewall and antivirus working.
To the left there is a link for windows programs and features.
You can turn off what you don't need.

Thanks Leroy. I deleted a few things, but for example all the "TOSHIBA" programs, (like dvd player and all the other stuff I have no clue what it is!) is it ok to delete?

thanks.

Vista has a lot of those programs built into it so in MOST cases you can delete them. Check to see which ones are starting up when you boot your comp.

You may want to keep the DVD player as windows may need the codecs to play DVD movies.
