QUOTE(leepast @ Mar 28 2007, 09:19 AM) 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  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. (1) Not suprising. Partition Magic 8 is very old software. You'll find out very soon there's gazillion more software that won't work properly with Vista. Hasta La Vista dude. (2) This is normal VISTA behaviour to log into Windows immediately. I think u can set somewhere to have the login screen, but i didn't bother. |

Like that ar?Kinda cultured shock   Previous Windows XP,when we shutdown,it will totally turn off.Then if we wanna turn on the laptop we have to press the power button.Later i'll check those power option.I'm in the middle of downloading Symantec AV for Vista.Quite surpising me also as the download i think more faster than Windows XP. |

P4 631 3.0 Ghz
2 Gig DDR2 667 RAM
Aopen Nvidia 6600 256MB DDR2
160 GB HDD
250 GB HDD
Will vista ultimate (i only have this edition - free) runs smoothly or at least my rig will survive?
