where do u guys get this info from?how sure r u guys?

did u install klite mega codec pack?

if u used that codec pack..i think u can select rmvb codecs..

then if u open with windows media player 11 maybe no probs?

just a thought..

is it just me, or does WMP barf on MKVs and OGMs.. I can load them fine but the audio and video is out of sync. Works fine on MPC tho

depends on the codec.

On the RAM Pricing, it's just years of experience living near both Lowyat and PC fair.

got a weird question wan to ask...
My C drive (primary drive), sometimes the free space will higher, around 9GB. Then when i defrag it, the free space left only 7GB only... anyone know y?

hey guys, emule can work with vista or not?

vista need defrag......??????

most probably is your temporary files..run disk cleanup from accessories > system tools

see what u can delete lo..

Vista no need defrag??!!
it is not temporary files, dunno y... now is ok ald, go back to 9GB free space.

i think is because vista create indexing file that will increase perfomance. so it will take some space to create the index file

The index files just use for searching only, rite? Anyway to disable it?

don't defrag. It defrags automatically when you're using it. Manual defrag is making it slower, and index file in my system is less than 100 MB for 600++gb of HDD space, so indexing is not an issue. more of TEMP files

I dun use the build in defrag function, i off it. I defrag it by using 3rd party sw...
btw, how to check the size for index files?

Since the index files is saved in the "<systemdrive>:\ProgramData\Microsoft" directory, you could check the size of the indexed files by enumerating the size of the "ProgramData" folder. Note that the "ProgramData" folder is hidden by default, thus you need to enable Windows to show hidden files and folders in order to view it.

IMO, it is normal for your drive's available capacity to change dynamically over time since Windows Vista index files dynamically.

Anyway, there are more options about indexing available through control panel. Just navigate to "System and Maintenance -> Indexing Options" and you could customize the indexing option that suits you.

yeah, but still, my index files never exceed 100MB, even when I indexed 600GB of hdd space. go to user/<username>/local settings/application data/temp. usually temp files are deleted after usage but some software will left traces of their usage in there

For me i think is more better to use Xp as main os,Vista as secondary.Becuz my system run smoother in xp.

depends, for some of us, Vista is definately a better one. Heck, reverting to XP for me is like going back to the dark ages

for me vista better than xp. feel smooth

agree.
since Vista require quite high system requirement, consider whether ur system can meet the requirement or not 1st. I think RAM and capacity are the main problems...
for me, Vista is better than XP. More smooth, more stronger security, look nicer, more easy to use.

y dont u just use vlc player.
change the video output to opengl...presto...

thats the first i've heard.
slower than xp.
been wasting a few days already trying to optimize everything and checking whether everthing works or not...
so nvidia really screwed up with their drivers ...
should be shot.
one thing though vista really shows difference of raid 0 Sata II vs raptor.

hmm but priority to running vista should be
1.RAm... amount rather than speed... also 1:1 ratio higher bandwidth for Intel Systems... and then finding the sweetspot on the bus speed
2. would HDD speed. .....raid 0 really takes off here
3.Graphic Card Mem
4.Last but not Least CPU.

all this is based on running aero... especially with dreamscene
u can download hd quality dreamscene from here.
for those who are running 1920x1200 monitor really cool with these..take note freakin large so mae sure u have lots of mem...as it is for me windows with all the services takes up 1.1gb... so ure going need a 64 bit system for this

Well, i got another question here.

Now, I already activated my Vista, so if let say I format my computer, when i reinstall back Vista, do I need to activate again the windows? Or it will automatic activate since I ald activated last time...
P/S : The Vista I bought is neither OEM nor Retail....
