anyone know where can i get a guide on how to free up ram/memory at vista? coz my 1GB laptop after load to windows.. ram used almost 65% .. dunno why..

tha't s just windows prefetch working it's magic. Everybody has teh same thing happening, and no, it's not a problem as Vista is using every available RAM that it can use. Only when RAM usage exceeds 100%, then you have a reason to panic

I have Vista Business free for student.  Haven't yet to install it.  I'm planning to use it after my purchase for new systems by the end of this year hopefully. I wonder if the product key have any expiration date if it haven't been used at all?

It's campus launch event.  All MMU staff and student are eligible to get their free copy of Vista business OEM.  Collecting stamps each booth by answering few simple questions, then you have your vista product-key.  Sound very simple, but it ain't. The lines is killing  us. Too many people. Most of us queued for at least 3-5hrs.

Plenty of time. No worries. There's probably new windows or Microsoft might even be dead. LOL.

Just bought 2 unit of Dell E520 + Vista Business Edt to test.
Annoying popup when accessing program inside control panel. Play chess also make the whole system freeze out. doh.gif
Haven't test out other problem yet..


Will downgrade back to windows XP Sp2 for sure coz Vista business/ultimate edt comes with downgrade rights. And it still able to upgrade back to Vista for future. smile.gif
If the Vista quite stable for couple month, will be migrate back to it loo.

All students doing IT/Computing courses at universities and colleges who are part of the MSDNAA program should get free copies of Vista Business and a massive discount in Office 2007. Over here, we can get Office Ultimate 2007 for only RM200. But it's illegal to sell it because they're all Academic licences.

ok guys i have 2 question to ask .

1. gif file won't animate in windows photo gallery . and u need to open it with internet explorer . even if i open it with the default viewer ( windows photo gallery ) , it only show the first frame of the animated gif file . so i actually have difficulties sending gif file to someone since windows photo gallery only takes the first frame into count . anyone solution for this ?

2 . the microphone..even after i tick the +20db boost , my friend still can barely listen to wat im saying . perhaps i need to like shout then only my friend can listen laugh.gif ..such problem did not appear on xp tho =/

1. Windows Photo Gallery integrates its own database for file formats that do not support metadata like PNG, GIF, MPEG and BMP.

I duno, it sounds like it doesn't support png or gif to me..

I already posted a while back la... there are some exploitation by worms on gif files, where it will infect a certain frame of the pic which cannot be detected by AV if it's already in ur PC. Playing it in an web browser will force the AV to detect any intrusion, thus this is why Vista does not preview gif. And I use ACDsee for my image files so this does not pose any problem

I'm new to Vista.Just received two laptops for my office with Windows Vista.As for question above...i've encountered same problem.I've tried both Partition Magic 7.0 & 8.0 and it appears that Partition Magic is not compatible with Vista sweat.gif correct me if i'm wrong.

One more thing...it's kinda shock me...is it normal when i open this laptop (without pressing the power button) it will automatically log in to windows?Those laptops are Dell Inspiron 640m.
