I mean the firewall, does it intelligent enough and up to latest threat ?

Haha... if compared to other commercial firewalls, it is may be less secure. They don't intend to make it so strict that it may pose unnecessary restriction for the user to use the computer.

i am using Vista RC1 and i didn't uninstall XP Powertoy before installing Vista, now everytime i boot up, a nagging screen pop up telling me that "super fast user switcher" is not working properly, the worse thing is now i can't uninstall the Powertoy, tried safe mode also no go..

is there anyway i can uninstall the Powertoy please...

reformat? that's the only option IMO

RC2 build 5840 leaked~~

thanks for the link

link? wat link?

Bt download or direct download?

that leaked version of vista 5840 can be download by using emule only
but i believe there will be a bt seed of vista 5840 soon

I was too bored with melayan tetamu that I finally tried to test every available new features in Vista yesterday and today. Anyways these are the best thing I think Vista has to offer

Indexing Service
Forgot all those other Desktop Search crap. THIS IS THE REAL THING! I love how it's fully intergrated with the start menu. Quite fast too. It took me just 4 hours to index 80GB + 250GB + 60GB + 320GB of HDD. and all of them are nearly 85% full. Just remember don't ever index you pr0n or Hentai folder
It also is situated on the top right hand corner of your explorer windows, thus making searchng file really fast as you can search for files in the index for that particular folder only.

Snipping Tool
want to make a screenshot, but don't want to take the whole screen? Snipping tool is for you. it will let you select the area of the place you want to take screenshot. you can then either edit, copy to clipboard or save it as JPEG!

Windows Sidebar
It's not the widget of the sidebar that I like, but the fact that it uses simple XML to make the widgest suggest that Microsoft might release a tutorial on how to make your own!!

Internet Explorer 7
Faster than FF (2), more stable than IE6, and looks cool. What more can I say?

Taskbar Preview
Taskbar preview itself is good, but what about the fact that it will show animation if the program is working. thus you can easily check if you son's minimised WMP is playing pr0n

New Address Bar in Explorer
At first I was suprised that they are no 'Up one level button' anymore, but after mistakingly clicking on the arrow in fron of every folder name, I found out why. This is a quite good and initiative way to navigate throught the PC

Intergrated Windows Explorer with folder view
If you notice, there is a folder view for each Explorer Windows. Just click an the 'Folder' button on the left hand bottom corner.

HDD indicator
now you can easily tell if a HDD is nearing the full capacity

ok, so finally i bought the DVD for this in lowyat plaza and guess what, this pc gives me the same problem. Installation went well until the complete the process stage where my pc needs to restart... then it says, windows vista failed to startup. Dunno what winlogon.exe failed to start. what's happening ar?

EDIT : Oh, i forgot to tell that, i'm just installing another windows vista, not replacing my wins xp here.. so i installed my vista into another partition but its not a primary but its a logical partition. Is that causing a problem to it?

Help~~




Attached thumbnail(s)

eh.. no one can help me ar? Wanna cry already ler

weird, I never seem to encounter that. The last time I see that error was a failed XP on my sis's PC because the motherboard IDE connection is failing and it cannot detect IDE hardware properly

Maybe. Is your XP & Vista sharing the same drive? If so I'm guessing the file is there and healthy, but cannot be booted because your motherboard BIOS has a disk access limitation or somekind.

Check your harddrive setting in BIOS, note all down and post them here alongwith your mobo model. What is your XP partition size?

EDIT: Some addendum in post.
