Turn off the effects lor dude. Click on teh power icon in ur system tray and it will switch to power saving mode.

I tried putting power saving mode on my laptop and it clocks down to 600MHz. Guess what, it's slow like XP on pentium 3.

seems 6.0.6000 will be vista final??

I have got a problem here, i have just installed Vista RC2 but i don't have the product key as Microsoft has stop issuing it out, anyone knows where i can get it? and i cant seem to find the function to enable the Aero Glass effect, couldn't find it in personalize or even in control panel. Mind enlightening me, thanks.

so sad that s939 dual core been discontinued or i will get myself a vista next month

er... better get a spanking new COre2Duo rig than.

When WinVi will be released? Can wait to try it?

released in 2007 jan

there is a registration hack to enable aero. try looking through this thread or google for it

Where can i find the compatible drivers that support windows vista, i am currently using Dell Inspiron 6000 and the driver cd which dell provides only supports Windows Xp and no Vista.

check your motherboard/hardware manuals then do a decent google search~

Differences

Full - Can do both clean and upgrade installation
Upgrade - Can only upgrade from previous OS
OEM - Can only do clean installation

Correct me if im wrong

i thought oem version is just same as full retail version but just cheaper with no box....

Retail: Can transfer between machines
OEM: Non-transferable. Bundled with hardware.

Not sure whether they have difference in installation.

I installed RTM yesterday. And found out that they ignored the bug that I reported. My XP boot screen is still flickering. Is there any alternative to their vista boot manager/loader?

your RTM ver got boot screen?
my 1 dun hav boot screen juz hav loading bar only...weird

Want to ask you guys whether my PC is powerful enough to support Windows Vista with Aero & Flip3D.

My system spec:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ AM2
1 GB DDR800 RAM
GeForce 6150 Intergrated GPU (16MB shared from system's RAM, but can set up to 256MB).

I think the weakest link here is the GPU. Can I run Vista (with Aero & Flip3D) with acceptable performance (programming, web-surfing, watching movies) or should I get a discrete GPU?

ur spec ok but ur graphic card dunno la... u try n see lor... u can always upgrade ur gc card wan mar...

Tried installing Vista just now, no Aero for me, it's disabled in the menu. Don't really care, but what's disappointing is that I can't use any resolution higher than 1280x1024. I'm using 19" Samsung Widescreen LCD, native resolution is 1440x900. Using lower resolution will just cause the image to be streched to fill the screen and it's just

I've made some search, and it's seems that nVidia's Vista driver currently doesn't support that resolution. It's not because I'm using integrated GPU, I've read that 8800GTX users is also facing the same problem.

Mine has a loading bar only too. But the issue is not with vista's boot screen but XP. I want a replacement for the section that asks the user whether to boot into XP or vista. I think that made my XP boot screen flicker.

Can I still submit a bug?
