Why would you need to use Windows Vista Ultimate when Windows Vista Home Premium is enough? Save up your money for other stuff.

FarCry3r - I'm using XP Home, when I password the log in, my kid still can use the PC as guest. Was told to upgrade it to XP pro to prevent this from happening. But I'm looking at a new system, so which vista should I choose that is more secure and prevent unauthorized log in.
BTW I will have adobe CS4 with Premiere Pro CS4 install into the new system so should I pick a 64 bit OS?
*
If you didn't want them to login, why don't you disable Guest account altogether? If you're installing Adobe Premiere CS4, it is recommended to get Windows Vista 64-bit, as you might have problem with insufficient RAM on 32-bit, since video authoring softwares are resource hungry one.

Sorry OT a bit, How do you disable the guest account altogether in XP Home? How come the guest account has admin rights also?
*
Follow this guide to disable Guest account in Windows XP Home/Pro. Guest account shouldn't have any admin rights.

hey guys i need help here. im using vista and the PC SPEC is the same as the 'MOBILE RIG ASUS F8SG' as i have in my sig.

u see i use 100% CPU usage eventhough the highest memory use is firefox which is 190K shakehead.gif

what is seem to be a problem?
*
From your screenshot, Firefox is using 84% of CPU, and compared from another small % from system applications, it's sure 100%. Seems like it's your Firefox problem, since it's using the most of the CPU cycle.

bro far, is there any free upgrade from vista to win7?
im using genuine vista ulti sp1.
*
As of now, there is none. The only one who qualifies for free upgrades are those who buy Windows Vista with new desktop/laptop from OEM from June 2009 and onward. Still, we need to wait for the marketing team for the final decision.

Yes, Windows Vista is stable already, it even comes with Service Pack 2! Don't listen to your friend without ever trying it. If you have a decent PC, then it should be no problem running Windows Vista. smile.gif

hi,
i'm using vista home premium
i wanna try dual boot config w/ xp 64

from the past xperience, if 4mat xp 1st, then vista, the booting option is automatically set
but if the other way around, xp will overwrite the vista booting option(cannot boot from vista nemor) n need to repair the startup of vista using the installer dvd

so i wonder, can i use vista ultimate dvd to repair the vista home premium?

thanks
*
Yes, you can use the Windows Vista Ultimate DVD to repair the Windows Vista Home Premium installation. Windows Vista installation disc are unlike Windows XP installation disc. Windows XP installation disc are specific to it's edition (Home/Pro) while Windows Vista installation disc contain all editions (Starter/Home Basic/Home Premium/Business/Ultimate) except Enterprise.

You will still need a valid Windows Vista Ultimate CD-Key to be able to upgrade, and you don't have to reinstall to upgrade, just enter your Windows Vista Ultimate CD-Key into the Windows Anytime Upgrade application.

like xp to xp sp2 upgrade 1

That is Service Pack upgrade, not edition upgrade. Service pack upgrade are always free.

ahaha not my luck i guess
but then again, my home premium is sp1 n my ultimate is the earlier version...so if upgrade...need to update again i guess
*
No you do not need to update again. Just use Windows Vista Ultimate CD-Key on your Windows Vista Home Premium (with SP1) PC and you'll have access to Windows Vista Ultimate immediately without any reformat or reinstalling service packs. All files needed to run Windows Vista Ultimate is already on your PC, so it's just changing edition, and enabling stuff for that edition.

No problem. Do tell me if the method is working or not. Some of my friends successfully upgrade their Windows Vista through that method.

If I'm not mistaken, you need to have a pre-installed version of Vista for you to upgrade to Windows 7.

guys would like to ask what's the main difference between vista and windows 7 ? considering which to use when reformating my comp

I don't think there's *main* differences between Windows Vista and Windows 7. But what I do know is, Windows 7 is a turbocharged edition of Windows Vista, with performance tweak, an updated taskbar, aero effects, tweaked UAC, etc, other than that, Windows 7 behave like Windows Vista (with some minor differences).

Turn off UAC to make Command run using administrator privileges by default, but it's not recommended.

WinSxS = Windows Side-by-Side DLL configuration and it might affect Windows stability as it's needed by system files.

Microsoft said it only compatible with Windows XP and Server 2003..
xp software sometimes can run smoothly on vista..

ps..waiting for Vista built Partition Magic..hmm

I believe there's no newer version of Partition Magic ever developed after PowerQuest was bought by Symantec and it's been discontinued.

How do you convert the picture to icon file actually? You can't just rename the extension, you need a conversion tool that correctly convert any picture to icon file format.
