My fresh install only takes 20 minutes.

dvd 8x read speed oso 1 hour wo...hmm..

would external usb stuff make the install slower?

i had my usb modem/printer/mouse/skypephone/webcam/bluetooth dongle

all plugged-in while install...LOLz

Formatting takes time also..

but formatting in vista is less time consuming than xp

My Vista first BSOD while in sleep mode.
Was expecting Vista BSOD will be like with 3D Flip Aero or glass trasparent style but nope. It's just the same ol BSOD

Are using Ati with CC ver 7.3? It was reported that this version of Ati CC could post problems in Vista.

Yup heard that b4 but nope. I dun have ATI CC. Window doesn't give much info on this BSOD. Hope it will not occur again.

it might be problem with ur DVD drive, or BIOS, for my case, before I updated the BIOS, the vista installer stuck at the loading bar screen, after updating , the installation took around 30-40 mins.

hey Vista users.

got a question.

any of you here using mIrc?

i'm having this problem when it will takes a while to send/receive msgs after you type.

a lag of a second or so, so when the connection LAGS, my mirc LAGS like hell.

anybody else having same problem?

using vista ultimate now..
may i know wat version of nvidia geforce drivers for vista 32bit is the most stable 1? coz i use the 101.41 1 play game lik got frameskip and lag a bit compare to xp.

Currently, forceware version 101.41 is the most stable version. And, do not expect too much as the driver is still in its beta stages. Besides, i'm also experiencing some reduction in framerates while running NFS:Carbon on Windows Vista as opposed to on Windows XP. I think this is mainly attributed by Windows Vista's management of memory usage through the SuperFetch feature. With that, Windows Vista uses more memory to enhance user's experience by caching recently used applications. Therefore, there is not much memory left to be allocated for games. Thus, resulting in lower performance on games.

I'm currently using mIRC on Vista but I haven't encountered that problem before. It's working just the same as it did on XP.

Try doing some system scanning for spywares and viruses. And remember to do defragment too.

From what i've read on superfetch's documentation, it will free up any memory needed for a 3D intensive software, and it will take it 0.003 of a second to do that

Really?



Anyway, i just found out that by disabling Desktop Composition specifically through the compatibility options does give a significant boost on 3D intensive applications. Doing this will disable Aero while you are running let's say NFS:Carbon. Leaving you behind with a temporary GUI of Windows Vista Basic. And, when NFS:Carbon is close, Desktop Composition (Aero) will be enabled again. Hence, this could give you a temporary boost in performance while you are running a game.

This is what you could do:

1. Click on the Vista Start button and at the search box, type in the filename of the executable that you would want to run under a non-Aero environment.
2. Right-click on the selected file and select "Properties".
3. Click on the "Compatibility" tab. At the "Settings" section, place a checkmark on the "Disable desktop composition" checkbox.
4. Click "OK".
5. Now, whenever you run the selected application, Aero will be disabled.

woot.. thx .. i guess it works.. just curious the beta driver 101.41 included mid range G80 GC driver le.. maybe really coming out .. got 8400,8500,8600 series drivers inside.. read somewhere at tweakrus.com

It disabled automatically on mine
But I hate it when it disabled on Media Player Classic... WTF??

Anyone tried Adobe Photoshop CS2 in Windows Vista? How is the perfomance compared to Windows XP ?

so far used for 2 hours.. no prob.. i think got a bit lag.. but ok la.. not tat serious

EDIT: btw i use firefox something will lag le.. dunno wat prob..sometime at windows my graphic also will lag a bit.. in game lik got skip skip frame 1.. anyone know how to fix??
