One thing I miss about windows xp is the network icon once connected.

During XP you can see the icon blinking to show the internet activity. But now, on Vista, the icon is just there stagnant. No indication of internet activity.

Nope. You can enable the internet activity indication. All you need to do is right-click on the internet connection tray icon and select "Turn on activity animation".

Just wondering though... might be a stupid question... but I never tested and try it so I didn't know.

When I change my proc and motherboard... is it okay if I didn't reformat my Vista. And just boot in like that??? Or it is necessary to reformat everything again.

It's highly possible that you'll have some drivers problems if you do that. It's better to remove the drivers for the current motherboard first.

OMG, thanks for the tip!

I never realized that option there.

I would also like to know, why is it that sometimes

I am not running any programs or doing anything,

my laptop HDD activity LED keeps on blinking.

What is vista doing in the background?

Might be superfetch..

caching unused stuff occupying your ram to your hdd, to free up precious ram.

just got my laptop yesterday and it comes with a windows vista home premium. the salesperson asked me to create a recovery disk for safety reason and he taught me how to do it.

problem is everytime i put a dvd in to burn, it will fail during the fail verification process. sometimes i will run to 8% then stop. sometimes it just dont move. i've wasted 5dvds. help me pls

what brand of blank dvds did you used?

tdk dvd+r. 16X 4.7gb single sided

do it have the option to disable verification ?

what software used to burn? builtin windows disc tool?

no there is no such option on the menu

i'm not sure what software. it should be the windows built in burner. i just click 'start' -> all programs -> recover manager -> make recovery disc

then the rest i follow the instruction on screen

This is getting annoying...



I want to save multiple wallpapers from the internet.

In XP if I save from 10 pictures from the same website... say My Picture\Allure\Wallie.. then for the first picture I will navigate it from My Picture to Allure to Wallie using browse option and save it there.

The when I click save for the next 9 pictures.. it will straight away open in My Picture\Allure\Wallie so I can save pictures a lot faster.


However in Vista... even when I browse to Pictures\Allure\Wallie and save my picture there... I still have to navigate to Pictures\Allure\Wallie through browse option for the next 9 pictures which really annoys me.


Any possible solution for this?? I don't like the idea of navigating to each folder in Pictures folder one by one even if I'm saving pictures from the same websites.

try use download manager. like flashget. use download all link.

GUys where can I download the asia language pack for vista ultimate? I can't find it in microsoft's website and looks like my windows update can't find it. (only keep on download minor udpates)

Use Firefox, it will remember the last folder where you save your pictures.

dunno if this helps..
