i manage to install it...apparently it caused by me disabling the UAC function

QUOTE(dualshock @ Dec 8 2006, 11:43 AM)
i downloaded the installation file last night and installed it without any hitch...not even needing to install with compatibility mode or run as administrator...

try to re-download the installer...it's not that big anyway...

for those who wanna install vista soon, u can use this tool called vlite :

Windows Vista from Microsoft takes a lot of resources, we all know that. So here is the tool for easy removal of the unwanted components in order to make Vista run faster and to your liking. vLite can also create the bootable ISO and apply the tweaks directly.

This tool doesn't use any kind of hacking, all files and registry entries are protected as they would be if you install the full version only without the components you select for the removal.

It configures the installation directly, before the installation, meaning you'll have to remake the ISO and reinstall it. This method is much cleaner, not to mention easier and more logical than doing it after installation on every reinstall.

for your usage , 1gb will be enough , i have 1gb and run a number of things the most it takes up about 700mb , but still if u got chance to get more ram , go for it, your system will be have noticebly improvment for sure !

QUOTE(wtm0325 @ Dec 15 2006, 07:13 AM)
for all sifu who ran aero glass effect on vista ultimate,

i heard it's around 600+ MB ram usage when 1st start up on vista ultimate w aero glass enable, does this true?

i really wonder does 2gb takes effect on me, i never play games or do ram intensive task, the max i'll do is browsing website with lots of tabs and chatting which maximum consumes around 500MB

i got 1gb on my R60 now, my current windows xp start up ram usage is around 250MB, and maximum ram i used is around 750MB

all sifu pls advice notworthy.gif

and merry christmas too biggrin.gif

i think someone wrote a driver for vista, check out prodigy's user forum discussion..i myself am using prodigy 192..found a driver that worked..but seems quite buggy , will get BSOD sometimes...

QUOTE(kapitan @ Dec 16 2006, 06:08 PM)
I dont use Apple, its just a comparison.

It cant be helped if you feel good about Vista. Everyone has difference perception. I just feel an OS taking up more than 500MB of ram is nothing but bloated. DWM is nothing but a tool to utilise your DX9 card in desktop mode. Although it said offloading the processing to video card, but having to use so much ram means the processor will be doing works too.

Vista has 85% of the drivers but if you got a all-in-one printer, then you will be out of your luck. Not to mention the drivers for Prodigy LT.

QUOTE(mzaidi @ Dec 28 2006, 03:50 AM)
Yup, pretty cool, and the performance on my PC is better than what I expected. Too bad I can't run it on my LCD's native resolution. I guess I'll for nVidia's driver support.

I remember there's a vista program that can help to minimize resources , something like disable some un use service.
Someone know what program is that? i forgot the link , i read it before

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

QUOTE(samurai1337 @ Jan 24 2007, 10:13 AM)
Any idea where can I get Windows Vista soon it gets released in Malaysia? (It should be end of this month right?). How will be the prices in term of Ringgit Malaysia?

Or at least, whom should I contact if I wanted to ask someone in Microsoft Malaysia?

MS will be launching Windows Live One Care globally near to Windows Vista consumer launch, so if u all want , can stick to their A/V that comes with it, as for me using NOD32 under Vista quite happily
