Just make sure you have all the drivers for your laptop downloaded, most importantly your wireless/network so you can reconnect and DL the new drivers. Hope it goes well :)

Those may be the requirements they've stated but they're not realistic at all. If you're stubbornly sticking to your Vista guns then I reccommend you find the max RAM you can have in your laptop (Laptops normally have 2 slots for SODIMMs) and upgrade to 2 gigabytes so that your PC isn't constantly swapping to virtual memory and dying.
Just an FYI, I had this spec:
AMD 5000+ X2 @ 2.6 Ghz (Dual Core)
1 GB DDR2 PC 5400 RAM
Geforce 8800 GTS 512Mb
SATAII HD
All running Windows Vista Business on a 700W powered workstation.
STILL LAGGED from fresh install when I ran any games.
To rememdy this I got a matched pair of 2GB DDR2 6400 RAM (Faster) and it ran acceptably.
Now, in order to do my programming coursework I had to revert back to XP which starts up BEFORE the monitor comes on (I have a TFT).
It begs the question, what the hell are Microsoft doing!? For the gamer the only discernable advantage is Vista's DirectX10 capability which allows you to play next gen games. Considering you have a laptop (The next-gen capability of that is laughable) - XP, all the way.

Really man, Vista and laptops do not mix unless you've spent a lot of money on a hi-spec machine. To be honest, with the specs you have listed you'd be lucky to get XP running at optimum.
Looking at your list of processes you seem to have a lot of needless crap installed. If it was me I would bite the bullet and format to XP.
