for some reason vista ultimate has gotten slower for no reason, not sure whats causing it. looked at the event viewer it has some things are taking longer to shutdown.

I also noticed svchost.exe is using 90% of the memory this happened after I applied couple of window updates.
 
See if Process Explorer works with Vista. If it does it will break down the SVCHOST.EXE service and tell you exactly what is in it that is causing the issue. But if it happened after a windows update, the best thing to do is to go to www.windowsupdate.com and run an update fro mthere. It will detect if your WUAULCT service is hosed and fix it. We ran into this a lot here with XP updates.
 
fix vista slow internet speed
Run following command from Admin-level command line prompt solved the problem.

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

No, having almost 0 free RAM in Vista is perfectly normal. The RAM is being used for SuperFetch. You can't compare XP and Vista in that department.

As for paging file size, just let Windows manage it.
 
When an app needs memory Vista releases it for use by that app. It just caches files and programs you frequently use in your available memory so they open quickly. If that app or any app requests to use the memory, Vista gives it.
 
I was trying to figure out why the pc has become so slow when starting and shutting down , should I get additional memory to help with the slowness issue

Vista did that to me a couple times too, but fixed automatically.
