I ran the Vista Reliability and Perfromance Monitor. Everything looked fine except one item. I had one message indicating the "average disk queue length is 1. The disk may be at its maximum transfer capacity due to throughput and disk seeks".

What should I do about this?

First try updating your system board chipset drivers. You can either find them on the manufactures’ website or the manufacture of the chip itself. Second, it could be the spindle speed of the hard drive itself. If it is a slower speed (4200,5400) rpm drive then you could get that message. A faster (7200 or higher) rpm would help if that is the case. Try the chipset first.
