I just updated my Windows Experience Index. Now my windows are half opaque and the way they appear is different. Why is that so?

IGP (Integrated Graphics Processor) performance is greatly affected by the amount system RAM. Good, finally you add more RAM for you IGP to work faster. Congratulation, you officially understand what a modern PC wants. RAM..

Please tell us what hardware index changes, drivers that you updated, and of course the past score and the current score, screenshot if possible.

In term of start up loading, shut down, program opening, Vista seems like a bit faster than XP.

I do agree Vista is sometimes annoying when dealing with third party software that face compatibility issue but this will soon iron up as the software industry move ahead.

It is just too new.

Previously it was unrated with a base score of 1.0 because i just setup the whole rig. I figured out how to solve the opaque windows but i want to change the way windows appear to the old way. Now whenever i select a windows that were previously minimise, it expands from the taskbar while i would like it to just appear straight.

Disable (make it unticked) Animate when window maximised/minimized in the tab for Performance in System Properties.

Control Panel > Advanced System Properties(on the left hand side with a shield) > Performance >Settings.

I got am question.

Now, I already know which edition of Vista is suitable for me, and I will target Ultimate Edition.

However, I saw one sells online with quite a cheap price, in US, and I plan to buy from him. But I notice 1 different between US and International Vista.

SKU code for United States is 66R-00002, while in countries other than US is 66R-00020. What is the different? Is there any geographical limitation? And the most important is, can I activate it in Malaysia and use it like normal?


I search for a lots of forums and websites and blogs, but I just can't find any answer for it. Hope someone can answer my questions, instead keep telling me to buy from Malaysia..... blush.gif

Thank you! notworthy.gif

Mesa Dynamics released a converter to convert Google Gadgets into Sidebar Gadgets

Hey all. Just thought you might be interested in our new free application, Amnesty Generator, that automatically converts Google "Universal" gadgets into Vista Sidebar gadgets.
Note that it is not a developer's tool, just a small utility for regular Vista users to add some of the 3000+ Google gadgets to their sidebar. Since it just "wraps" HTML into a gadget template it also supports "conversion" from other web gadgets, even video embeds from YouTube.

This is a port of our same application for OS X -- and our first Windows app -- so feel free to send us comments, suggestions, criticisms, etc. We'd really appreciate the feedback. It's a beta release, so we'll be finishing up the app over the next couple of months.


Thanks!

Danny

That's the feature of full Aero Glass, unfortunately, the Personalization control panel only allow you to change transparency/color scheme and some limited window properties.
Choose Vista Basic or Windows Classic interface if you like the "old" window behavior.

There is a site that could help you tweak Aero and Vista stuff, e.g. Shitf-key animation.

Hi there,
I heard that my machine will be 'locked' if i am not using licensing software. I am using Windows Vista with license, however, i only have a free trial Norton Anti Virus software for 30days. So, i have downloaded a crack for the NAV application. Below are some of my queries..

(1) Am I suppose to use the crack?
(2) What will happen to my workstation if i use it?
(3) The 'lock' senario will happen to by Vista where i am not able to login anymore once i install the crack?
(4) Or, the 'lock' will only happen to my NAV application?

Appreciate your reply.
