QUOTE(linkinstreet @ Apr 13 2007, 05:12 PM) 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? |

QUOTE(linkinstreet @ Apr 13 2007, 10:48 PM) 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 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. |

QUOTE(chris_c28 @ Apr 14 2007, 12:16 AM) What do you mean neither OEM nor Retail? If you buy Vista, it has to be one of these editions (MSDN, Academic, Technical Previews, etc. have licences resembling OEM copies). Anyway, to answer your query, you won't be ask to reactivate if the reinstallation is performed on the same motherboard and hard disk (even when reformatted). Vista ties your activation key to your motherboard's BIOS ID or something if I remember. I have tested this too and it is indeed true that a motherboard/BIOS switch will result in you having to reactivate your copy again. Reactivation is easy. Just call up the 24 hour toll free number based in India and give them the activation ID. They will reissue you a new one. It is entirely confidential. QUOTE(cstkl1 @ Apr 14 2007, 01:00 AM) well activation is manual or auto depending on when u reinstall when the asked u to insert the cd key.. there is a tick there saying auto activation upon connection right... coz recently my school jus had a Vista launched, i get my Vista with RM5 only, so i dun think it is either OEM or retail... if u unclick that then u have to activate ureself. btw, thanks for both of ur answer, now no need to worry bout the activation on my next new computer... |

When I ran disk cleanup for my C drive, i found out that "Per used queued Window Error Report" and "System queued Window Error Report" getting larger and larger. So, can I delete it actually? Seems like it is somethg related to the "Program error solution", worry that it may cause the system unstable if i delete it.

QUOTE(Oly @ Apr 18 2007, 11:56 AM) Firewall I'm using PC Tools firewall, but seems like not so good to be used, still waiting for Zone Alarm. Disk Defrag - I'm using Diskeeper 2007 professional. Easy to be used, more features than the build-in 1, at least it show us how many percentages is already defragment during the process. Included Automatic defragmentation and Boot-time Defragmentation. Spyware Scanner - Using Spybot Search & Destroy, not bad. But I believe thr still got others good spyware scanner but just incompatible in Vista like AVG Anti-Spyware and Ad-Adware.... |

QUOTE(Phoenixwunin @ May 8 2007, 02:18 AM) Cheh again... aye~... nevermind la... Business is ok too LOL For what I know, OEM will only can be activated in 1 computer, so in case u change to a new computer, the OS cant be activated in ur new computer. Meanwhile, retail version can still be activated in the new computer... Wish u get what i mean... As long as it is original and most important... FREE... well.. at least until the deadline... ====================== Can we buy OEM Vista?? I'm quite blur about this OEM thingy... so I figure if can... I might as well get an OEM Vista Ultimate rather than retail Home Premium. Becoz I heard OEM is only supplied with a new computer like DELL, ASUS and so on... Correct me if I'm wrong. |
