Hi, is there anyway to prevent installing of application to Windows Vista? Say if my friend wants to borrow my laptop, i don't want him to install software in it, is there anyway to do it? Thanks

give him the guest user account/ create an limited account whereby...he can't install anything without admin authorization....same feature in XP...I think you should know~

the boot time.. i saw a video before.. w/o readyboost, 40++ something sec from start of comp til end of startup (going into idle/ready) and with readyboost, 23 secs

Yeah, it's like adding a new RAM in ur PC. The speed should be noticeable. I added a 2GB Pendrive and my Football Manager now can be played when I'm scanning for virus. Last time I will lag the game doing that

I would like to ask something , whether it's normal status for it.
When at the start menu with Document picture music search recent items and etc , it's a bit slow to react when i mouse over it.

Is it because not enough of ram ? or cpu ? or low graphic card ?

Most probably ram and/or some background program. How much is ur ram?

He is using 1.5GB ram

Anyone have tried installing any 'xP' software into winVista?eg; Photoshops? or any other softwares?

running a lot of non vista software, works fine mostly, some of them u gotta run them in xp sp2 compabiltity mode though and some need to run as administrator

I think the only software that did not work for me was FRAPS, and that was really old

anyone know the answer ?

probably your hard drive is the problem...

i think this is the windows search indexer at work... to disable it try the following :


Click Start
Click Control Panel
Click System and Maintenance
Click Administrative Tools
Double-click Services
If asked for permission, click Continue
Scroll through the list and find "Windows Search"
Right-click it, and click Properties
Click Stop
Click the dropdown box next to Startup Type
Click Disabled
Click OK

try to get latest version.. it should be no problem for you since i am using it fine

Hey i just check at Advisory Vista Upgrade at Microsoft.com and found out that my notebook only capapble of running Vista Business. As i wan at least home premium or Ultimate, so i check what i failed on that test. Supprisily, it's not of RAM as i have 1GB Ram, Core 2 Duo and a decent GMA, i notice that the thing i failed is DVD-RW??? What the? Why do i need DVDRW? I only have Combo drive.

Action Required
After installing Windows Vista, we recommend you get a DVD-RW drive


Explanation
You need an internal or external DVD-RW drive to record DVDs.
