How to answer here? Well the reason why it took long time to shutdown is because vista need to configure the update setting or any new device added. Thus it will take very long. Moreever u said it took long time to shut down after long time u nv shutdown. Thus this shows that there is many update configuration vista need to be set.
If ntg is updated or no program is added, it will shut down very fast. This post has been edited by adriankhoo153: Apr 7 2007, 02:10 PM |

really?
i use vista since beta and never encounter this. i leave my pc turn on quite long sometimes. around 20hours. i know there is a option to turn off "saving profile setting" in vistamanager. that might wat make the shutting down process so long. but if i need 30min to shut down the pc, i rather unplug the power cord... |

In my case, if this 'long shut down' happens..it will take about 15-20 mins to shut down..but like others said, I rather unplug the power cord.

Open Regedit (WINDOWS KEY + R on your keyboard, or by clicking Start and typing on the search bar "regedit" without quotes. Hit Enter
Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l] On the right panel look for the "WaitToKillServiceTimeout" string and change it value to 1000 by right clicking the string and selecting Modify... Default Value WaitToKillServiceTimeout=20000 Modified value WaitToKillServiceTimeout=5000 |

QUOTE(samurai1337 @ Apr 6 2007, 08:53 PM) Vista Build: RTM 6000 just wondering, whats your memory size installed on the pc? if you already have it installed with 2gb ram, then it must be something wrong ith your vista..Vista Version: Windows Vista Home Premium Problem: It's taking forever to shutdown sometimes. Usually it happens when I on my computer for too long. just a suggestion, each time you want to shut down your pc, just use the ccleaner to clean up the cache/cookies/recently open document. might as well help the shut down process, maybe. so far i dont have problem with mine, the booting and shut down takes only several seconds..

Vista has crap support for older hardware.
Right click your driver software, goto properties, and choose XP SP2 Compatibility mode and try to install it |

Chipset? From what I read and use, cMedia and Realtek (AC'97) latest XP drivers will work. you need to go to Device Management, locate your sound hardware, right click, properties, drivers, update drivers, have disk, and locate the folder for the drivers. DO NOT INSTALL USING THE INSTALLER.
Creative Soundblaster have BETA drivers |

Hi guys,
How bout the DVD/CD Burning software? I havent personally tried yet, but from what I heard earlier, there were issues concerning Nero's burning software and Vista. I'm using the Nero Burning Program which came with my SONY DRU-810A. It's an OEM version which wont run on any other optical drive but the one it came with. I didnt notice any patches or upgrades in the "SUPPORT" section in www.nero.com. Any idea how to fix this for free? Thanx ya. This post has been edited by arcan8888: Apr 18 2007, 12:32 AM |

QUOTE(linkinstreet @ Apr 18 2007, 01:15 PM) The latest nero 7 works with Vista, the "issues" comes from ppl that uses Nero 6, found that it won't work, and say Nero won't work with Vista QUOTE(amygdala @ Apr 18 2007, 07:43 PM) only the latest version of Nero will run with vista Thanx guys,i use Nero 7 Ultra Enhanced it works okay. btw, bsplayer PRO doesn't work with vista pity because it's favourite video player, automatcally plays the subs too and also Tune-up Utilities 2006 and 200 won't work other than that, my vista is working fine Looks like I have no choice but to get NERO 7. Coz the NERO OEM bundled with my optical drive's a NERO 6. Added on April 21, 2007, 6:12 amOk, here's another question: Essentially, VISTA and XP are two separate OSes, correct? So, if I were to install these OSes in separate HDDs, theoretically, they shouldnt share the system resources right? By sharing I mean, when VISTA's active, XP doesnt contribute to RAM usage and vice-versa. I've configured myself a dual-boot system, because some of my programs wont work in VISTA. Here's the problem: Recently I ran C&C3 in XP; after installing VISTA and it lagged! Prior to the VISTA installation, C&C3 ran smoothly. Not only C&C3, some of my other games also experienced noticeable slowdowns. The only way for me to run C&C3 smoothly in XP is to unplug the HDD with VISTA installed, after unplugging, the game ran smoothly again. Y is this happening???? Theoretically, these OSes shouldn't be sharing the memory. Or am I wrong? Any advice or solutions for this lil problem of mine? P.S: Sorry if it's too long. I didnt feel like mincing my words lest some1 might misinterpret my question. This post has been edited by arcan8888: Apr 21 2007, 06:12 AM |

Just wanna ask if anybody has the same problem as mine. After a while i will be unable to surf the net, but my downloads in bitcomet are still running, the only way i can surf again is to restart my pc, even resetting the modem also won't help. I had tried changing network cards and even modem, but the problem is still there, btw i am using Dlink DSL500T router+modem, i hope someone would help me on this, really annoying need to restart pc everytime i cannot online.

Your PC is most probably being put to sleep by Vista. When you say about changing the power settings to "Never", did you do it via "Change plan settings" under "Balanced"?
And, did you change both "Turn off the display:" and "Put the computer to sleep:" to "Never"? Anyway, there are two methods to solve this. First method: Select the "High perfomance" preferred plan under power options. Second method: Open device manager. Search for the device that corresponds to your network adapter and double-click on it. Click on the "Power Management" tab and uncheck the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power." option. Click "OK". |

I dun get u with 'overkill'. To run Vista u need a minimum of 1GB DDR2 while to run Vista smoothly it wise to opt for 2GB ram. So why overkill? Aren;t that is much better to have more free allocated ram for hdd? I witness an improvement for loading Photoshop CS2 and some minor improvement too.

Vista is optimised to run on 1GB of ram, that's why I said 2GB was an overkill. if you're not optimising 99% of you 1GB ram, than 2GB is more of a waste of resource actually. While it's true that some heavy apps can load faster, there are not much difference in performance of the OS itself as it don't need that much RAM to work in the first place. 1GB is the sweet spot for Vista and that's why the experience rating don't change. comprende?

I kinda disagreed with wat u have said. As putting 2GB over 1GB DDR2 ram doesn't improve at all (as for vista index it show same score = 'No improvement' at all on memory.) Somehow i felt that it increase all my application and loading time faster by 10%-20%.
How if i were to put 4GB in my Vista? Will it show a score of still 4.5 or will it jump to 5.5~5.9? I googled on and notice that a lot of them said it have little improvement only if you max out 4GB of ram. However Vista score jumps up to 5.5 score and above. How will then Vista justified this improvement? |

why keep on arguing with the index.....its a MS index....
u could try with others benchmarking tool as well..... btw....1GB is enof for Vista???? it might for a dedicated Gcard PC if it is shared, that will become bullshit..... i never think of overkill bcoz i ll need tat much of ram..... 1GB will no longer satisfy.....its for the newbie.... |

Heck, I might be cruel, but at least I tried to help. If you don't like it, fine, go find the answer yourself. I don't see anybody else here helping you with that problem anyways |

Vista Version : Business Edition
Issue(s) : 1) Opening Control Panel causing EXPLORER.EXE to restart. 2) Sound Card sometimes stopped functioning playing any RM files for awhile but funtioning again when I log off my Vista. 1) I googled around and found out alot of people has the same problem opening Control Panel but caused by different circumstances. But one thing in common, is that some of the icons in Control Panel couldn't load properly. Some are Symantec Live Update, some are Quicktime and etc... It's hard to pinpoint the problem and most people said the file with the extension ".cpl" would caused the problem & you need to figure out which one. Unfortunately, I have no idea. Windows update couldn't solve it either. 2) Anyone experienced in this? Download the latest driver didn't help. * BTW I'm using Original Vista Business Edition * |

That really blows.... I guess we all have to wait until they release SP1. As for the sound problem, I just figured out how to temporarily fix it. I just need to open the sound setting and enter the playback configuration and test it using Quadphonic Speaker mode and revert it back to Stereo. Problem persist I just use this method again & again & again.....until they release a proper driver. |

Just wondering...
I'm kinda malas to reinstall back almost every software I have.. so I wanna know... How reliable is the upgrade option of the Vista?? Is it ok if I choose to upgrade within XP into Vista.. or should I install a fresh copy of Vista instead?? And then... how come I didn't encounter the option of formating my C: drive when booting using Vista DVD?? |

Vista Build: *not sure* (how to check?)
Vista Version: Vista Business Edition Problem: i can't detect any new wifi connections, even though the network icon on my taskbar says that "wireless networks are available". when i click that, the "connect to a network" window appears, but it says "Windows cannot find any network". I can still manage to connect to my previous wifi connections that i have saved up and set to automatcially connect when they r available (which means nothing wrong with hardware)...but i can't detect/add new ones. i'm afraid some of the Vista updates from Microsoft have screwed up my wireless. |

Does Vista Home Premium come with the Shadow Copy (or Previous Versions) functionality? During the PC fair I saw the Microsoft leaflet stating that Shadow Copy is available in the Home Premium version, and I actually asked from the Microsoft booth and they told me the same. Then I bought a Dell laptop with Home Premium pre-installed, and I was surprise to discover that there is no Shadow Copy functionality! I felt like being cheated by their marketing gimmick, I still have the Microsoft leaflet as proof.

Phoenixwunin,
For your first problem, try running the installer as administrator. (Right-click on the installer-->Run as Administrator.) |

I dunno what this has to do with Temp folder... but after I "accidently" change the compatibility mode to Windows XP SP2 after 20 times of failed attempt to install it... the whole installation procedures works ok without any problems at all... ofcoure I initiate it a an administrator (like mystical zero instructed).. no problem so far...
Thanks a lot for your help sifu... The only problem left (apart from no-solution driver incompatibility) is my internet connection... can't connect to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=50989 and any other microsoft site at all... |

The last time I have this problem is when my varsity put up a HTTP firewall but stupidly only blocked IE, which means I can use any other browser without me knowing it was supposed to be blocked. I can't connect to the Windows Update before I rechecked with the technician to get the right port number to use to connect there. Other than that, I can connect to Microsoft fine =============== Regarding the connection issue I'm experiencing right now... I am toying with the Phising Filter option available in IE7..

Bl00dy amazing...
Well... I reformatted my PC with the same DVD of Vista again (don't really put up much hope..) And instead of installing all the new anti-virus and so on (not even my GC and mobo drivers)... I decided to connect to internet straight away... voila... all working now. Now I will try and reinstall each driver and program one by one... I believe on of the programs I installed cause this to happen. |

Yup mine is a Vista Premium. I have tried on Vista Business edition before and I can see the "Previous Versions" tab appearing when I look at the properties of a particular folder, but on my Vista Premium there's no "Previous Version" tab. I realise it when I attempted to recover a file after I emptied the Recycle Bin.

Vista Build: Not sure
Vista Version: Windows Vista Ultimate Problem/Question: Does Norton Anti-virus 2007 support my version of Windows Vista because I tried installing it and they say that there are some compatibility issues. Just started using Vista yesterday. May use AVG with it if Norton doesn't work. Has anyone tested AVG with Vista yet? Thanks in advance. |

I force restart it and it do came into Windows... but before the sidebar appear... the cursor and everything hang again... as usual.. I was scared Vista had screwed up my PC again.

hi guys. i just bought a new pc with these specs:
core 2 duo e4300 1.80ghz 2 gb ddr2 sd-ram geforce 7300 le the problem is not with the performance of my vista home premium (it runs perfectly well but it is with the performance of internet explorer. internet explorer runs extremely slow on my pc even when i run it. there is no problems like this whatsoever with firefox, only ie. after googling around, i found that the phishing filter seems to be the butt of that problem and i immediately went to turn it off. there is no improvements whatsoever and to top it off, the so called update that would fix this(link below) cant install on my pc. it says 'the update does not apply to your system'. so, is there any way to improve the performance of internet explorer? thanks in advance. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en |

Don't know about the temperature though... in Vista I couldn't find even the driver version unlike XP where it all (temperature, driver version etc...) can be found easily via Display Settings. Or perhaps I didn't notice it . Dunno what is my current temp...Anyway like dinozilla suggested... I've reinstalled the driver and so far.. no problem has yet to occur.. |

In addition to nocturnal's input, there's a page to guide you on those interesting minor tweaks in Vista's user interface :-)

I'm dual-booting xp and vista. XP is installed first on C:, Vista is on I:. Some questions:
1. Why is it I can't see the bootmenu? Boot.ini in C: doesn't have the Vista entry. Only way I can get into Vista is by inserting the installation DVD and ignoring the boot from dvd message after I boot the PC. 2. Why are the two files 'bootmgr' and 'bootsect.bak' in my drive F:? The 'boot' folder is also in this partition. WHich is weird because I specifically remember that the folder and the 2 files are always in C: during beta/rc days. How do I fix all these issues? It looks like Vista did not see my XP installation at all. If that's the case, why did Vista re-letter its own partition from I to C? And change the drive letter of my XP from C to E? Note: This only happens when I'm in Vista. When in XP, the drive letters are as per originally lettered i.e. XP partition is C and Vista partition is I. Anyone encounter these wierd, weird problems? |

Dunno true or not... but I remember seeing someone said in this thread that Vista will auto defragment your PC when not in use...
Maybe I confuse with something else... though |

QUOTE(ZipD @ May 13 2007, 12:34 PM) I'm dual-booting xp and vista. XP is installed first on C:, Vista is on I:. Some questions: I fixed the bootmenu problem of not appearing. It seems that XP must be on Disk0 (mine was on Disk1) in order for Vista to recognize that that is the active partition and hence to properly configure the bootloader. Of course, I had to reinstall Vista, for the 6th time now, for this to work.1. Why is it I can't see the bootmenu? Boot.ini in C: doesn't have the Vista entry. Only way I can get into Vista is by inserting the installation DVD and ignoring the boot from dvd message after I boot the PC. 2. Why are the two files 'bootmgr' and 'bootsect.bak' in my drive F:? The 'boot' folder is also in this partition. WHich is weird because I specifically remember that the folder and the 2 files are always in C: during beta/rc days. How do I fix all these issues?

Note: This only happens when I'm in Vista. When in XP, the drive letters are as per originally lettered i.e. XP partition is C and Vista partition is I. Anyone encounter these wierd, weird problems? Anyone managed to have both the bootsect.bak and bootmgr files in the same partition as Vista (applies only to dual-booters)? |

Hmm, EasyBCD only seems to be used to add/edit/remove multi-boot entries. I cannot find a feature the moves the files I mentioned.
After a little research, I found it could not be done (for now at least). Excerpt from Multibooters UK QUOTE The Vista install can only place its boot files in a suitable primary partition on the drive designated as the first hard drive in the bios boot order. It's for this reason that you cannot do a fully independent install of Vista to a logical partition or another hard drive. |

Superfetch is a memory management system that helps your clear up/preload applications/library while in use/not in use. This involves the disk and system memory, that's why you'll see active HDD light blinking when you are idle.So, when you are not doing anything, you will see your HDD led will keep on blinking. QUOTE Windows SuperFetch A new memory management technology in Windows Vista, Windows SuperFetch, helps keep the computer consistently responsive to your programs by making better use of the computer's RAM. Windows SuperFetch prioritizes the programs you're currently using over background tasks and adapts to the way you work by tracking the programs you use most often and preloading these into memory. With SuperFetch, background tasks still run when the computer is idle. However, when the background task is finished, SuperFetch repopulates system memory with the data you were working with before the background task ran. Now, when you return to your desk, your programs will continue to run as efficiently as they did before you left.

Hi all sifus here,
I encountered this 2 problems with my Vista Home Premium. 1. When I copy some files/folders (using right-click menu or ctrl+C) from one location to another. I always have to do the paste twice, meaning right-click menu or ctrl+V twice, then only Vista will start the copying process. The first time I did the paste command (right-click menu or ctrl+V, nothing will happen. Is this normal??? 2. Whenever I press "F1" for Windows Help, I always got this error message saying "Internet Explorer cannot download / from help. Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The request site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later". I'm sure my internet line is working fine. Does vista always need to go online to get Windows Help??? Please help Thanks in advance~!  This post has been edited by chrislcw: May 14 2007, 06:14 PM |

Not sure if this is the correct thread to ask this question or should i make a new topic, but i'll post here anyways. My notebook already comes installed with Windows Vista Business, now i am planning to upgrade to Vista Ultimate for the encryption feature. The vendor did not provide any option for upgrade when i bought, just said came pre-installed and they do not have Ultimate anyways. Can i buy an OEM Vista Ultimate to upgrade or is there an option from Microsoft to just buy the activation/product key to activate Ultimate's features? Do i have to reinstall Windows Vista for this? Thanks for the help. |

Try contacting microsoft for a new key. Your Vista DVD includes all version of Vista, and only the key determines which feature is locked or unlocked.

no, must install the driver again installing an OS on a partition (since you say multiboot) is just like installing on different HDD. when u boot an OS, it only use drivers on your windows installation location, example, %root%:\WINDOWS\ if not, imagine the mayhem if u install multiple OS like Win95, Win98, WinME, WinXP, OSX, Ubuntu, etc where it use driver from other location... |

So you're basically blaming a new OS that does not work with an old application and yet, you DIDN'T blame NOKIA because they were lazy to release a Vista Compatible software?
I prefer to blame software and driver makers, as - They are too lazy to update their software - This gives them chance to sell new, more expensive hardware/software that WILL work with the new OS. It's business dude, don't blame the OS when it's usually company trying to take advantage over the user. |

vista+creative=compatibility issue due to drivers.
vista drivers working method different from XP. it's more integrated and less accessible (dunno how to explain but) basically most function available on XP not available on Vista. creative working on it and based on my observation and usage, it's getting better. my audigy can support till 7.1 but cmss3d still not working. openAL not working but creative working on alternative, ALchemy. |

hi guys, i have a problem here.
whenever i start up vista, if i try to open up a video file (using wmp), there would be no player at all but sound can be heard as though as the video is running. only after i end the wmplayer.exe process in the task manager would the wmp run properly. this has to be done everytime i start up vista if i want to open video files normally. this happens only after a month when i use vista and what can i do about it? in my pc, the wmplayer.exe runs at startup and is that normal? how do i disable it at startup? thanks ps: wmp = windows media player |

after some testing, i realise that wmplayer.exe only starts up when i insert 2 thumbdrives (WTF?). this is kinda weird and wmplayer.exe does not start up when i insert only 1 thumbdrive (either one of the 2 i have). what is up with this and is there any explanation for this?

Vista in advertisement shown that "Many Folders" are opened in window can be run in 3D mode while you do selection folder that you want.
My friend also saw that feature too when at his friend house. According to him, we need to press some special command key then window only can shown in 3D mode. Anyone can share the secret in vista such as 3D selecting folders? Is there other features similiar like this in Vista? Thank you. |

I'm thinking of changing my mobo. Currently on Nforce 4 mobo. Thinking of changing to N680i. I've read that Vista already has Nforce 2,3,4,5,6 all inside already n there's no need for the mobo drivers. If this is true then all I need to do is just replace the mobo n everything shud boot up perfectly n run as normal? How about the activation? Will Vista detect my new mobo n ask for reactivation?
Really dont wanna reformat. Hate that as a reformat means days of reinstalling progs n settings all over again. I absolutely hate reformatting. |

So, once u change to a new HDD with the OEM version, u will not able to activate it again? Btw, if i call Microsoft to reactivate it again for my OEM version, will they do for me? |

Oh, you have a User Account Control (UAC) problem. Just got to Start > Control Panel > User Account > User Account Control > Highlight/ Tick the Turn off UAC and restart the PC. Viola now you don't have to go through all the frustrating administrative permisson messages.

Hi, I'm planning on a new PC which might include Asus P5B-E Plus board, Core 2 Duo and HD2900 card.
I'm not too worry about the hardware part but the software part is the one which killingme... Since I plan to go Vista. Alright, the problem is, do Adobe CS2 series softwares like Photoshop, GoLive, After Effect works on Vista? And do Office 2003 works on Vista, since I do not have enough budget for extra softwares beside the OS .. T_T One more thing, do Vista capable to run on a multi-OS PC? Says I want my old XP running if in case of anything cannot run. And keep my HDD formated as FAT32 si I can format it easilly with Win98 if anything go wrong ... (Can anyone tell me how to get into pure BIOS with winXP?) ... OMG .... too much softwares stuff to concern about ... damn it ... |

Hey M1X, nice PC being built there. All your hardware should work perfectly but I recommend you come to this websites. Adobe CS2 softwares all work for my Windows Vista Ultimate RTM 6000 except the Adobe Photoshop CS2. The installer will hang (not respond). Microsoft Office 2003 with Service Pack 2 will work only on Vista RTM6000 but there will be no MS Reader Icon installed into the Word toolbar. You will not be able to make .lit e-books. MS is aware of this and have not fixed it.
Windows Vista RTM Software Compatibility List: http://www.iexbeta.com/wiki/index.php/Wind...patibility_List Windows Vista RTM Hardware Compatibility List: http://www.iexbeta.com/wiki/index.php/Wind...patibility_List List of Vista Supported Hardware & Software: http://forumz.tomshardware.com/software/Li...pict232602.html Applications that have earned the "Certified for Windows Vista" logo or the "Works with Windows Vista" logo: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933305 And yes, you run boot your PC with multiple OS and you can even run them simultaneously with Virtual PC 2000 by Microsoft if you want. Note: Mircosoft Virtual PC 2007 is free from: www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/virtualpc/default.mspx - 74k - But I don't think you will be able to keep your HDD formated as a FAT32 file system because Vista only supports NTFS file system as their file format. So like me I am running Windows Vista Ultimate RTM 6000, Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 on one HDD. And Ubuntu 6.10 on another HDD. My setup is 80GB for Vista 40GB for XP and 40GB for Ubuntu. This post has been edited by TechnoDude94: Jun 6 2007, 02:32 PM |

Wow, really nice resource you got there. Thanks very much. But now I changed my mind to go Asus P5K series instead of P5B since P5K series run on new Intel P35 or G33 chipset which also support future Intel 45nm !!!
Well, softwares are killing me .. OMG ... According to the list I can't find Symantec System Works and Anti Virus 2006 ... OMG ... Where is Adobe GoLive CS2 (this is my primary web authring software ... )... Maybe I kee using XP for work while Vista for play (DirectX10... ) This post has been edited by M1X: Jun 6 2007, 03:30 PM |

QUOTE(RokXIII @ Jun 4 2007, 01:45 PM) I though once u activated ur window, it will automatic record the serial code for ur mobo and harddisk. So, once u change to a new HDD with the OEM version, u will not able to activate it again? Once you installed and Activate your windows, it will sent all you PC information to Microsoft but not personal data. This will help them to check on your hardware aligned to hardware. So If there are certain hardware component like motherboard you have make a changes it wil not treat as same machine.. Btw, if i call Microsoft to reactivate it again for my OEM version, will they do for me? Meanwhile, change or hardisk will not affected as my understand. you can call 1800 88 6294 for assistance if you faced problem regarding to your activation. They will fixed it for you |

QUOTE(TechnoDude94 @ Jun 6 2007, 02:27 PM) Hey M1X, nice PC being built there. All your hardware should work perfectly but I recommend you come to this websites. Adobe CS2 softwares all work for my Windows Vista Ultimate RTM 6000 except the Adobe Photoshop CS2. The installer will hang (not respond). Microsoft Office 2003 with Service Pack 2 will work only on Vista RTM6000 but there will be no MS Reader Icon installed into the Word toolbar. You will not be able to make .lit e-books. MS is aware of this and have not fixed it. Seems to me it's only your problem. Try reinstalling Windows Installer. I can isntall that fine |

Hey ongoky, you mean the Windows Vista Update really works for you. It didn't help me find any drivers (not for even a single piece of hardware for me). Don't know why. But the USB Thumbdrives are all Plug and Play how come they need driver. Maybe his version of Vista left out the Plug and Play driver (How can that happen?), just assuming.

Vista is fukin great... never had much fun since Mac OSX
very intuitive, especially the new START--> SEARCH thingy. needs time to adjust but once u know how to utilise it, u'll see many ways to make your life easier. the only downside is this thing doesn't run well on older machine. needs high requirement, but since hardware price are falling like mad now, who gives a second thought about splurging a couple more GB of ram? |

Yup lucifah, the UAC is just a piece of crap MS included in Vista so that it will be "harder for unauthorized installation" and it's so frigin annoying. Wanna install something although your an administrator also so hard. Must go through all the annoying windows.

It's them that the UAC is targeted and when these ppl are culled in their places, it's we who gets the benefit of lower risk of virus/worm/trojan outbreak and infection. Thus for me, UAC is the best thing Microsoft ever done to limit the damage those PC noobs does to the millions of other PC users around the world, including us when they unwittingly install and breed the worms in their PC. |

Okay, now I got another question. I found this website http://dreamscenevideo.net/blog/ which lets you download free high quality Dreamscene videos. I just wanna know whether that these free Dreamscene videos file formats are .dream and can I set it as my Dreamscene video because the default Dreamscene video format is .mpg. Thanks in advance. I am using Windows Vista Ultimate.

OMG ongoky, I already got the problem solved. You have to use DeskScapes for Vista and it will be able to use .dream files as your Dreamscene video. But thanks anyway for your reply. BTW: You should come to this website to download Dreamscene video they are very good but remember to have DeskScapes. It is a very fast download with DAP.

Yes, Intel GMA950 can fully support Vista aero transparency without any problemQUOTE The GMA 950 is Intel's second-generation GMA graphics core. It is used on the Intel 940GML, 945G series, 945GT chipsets. Most of the changes relate to video decoding, adding support for VLC, iDCT, hardware motion-compensation, and dual video overlay windows (1 HD + 1 SD). The core clock was bumped slightly to 400 MHz, which increased peak pixel fill rates to 1600 MPixel/s. The 950 can access more video memory than the 900. The 900 only supports up to 128MB (shared), whereas the 950 has up to 224MB (shared). The 950 was created with Microsoft Windows Vista kept in mind and will run the Aero interface[1]. Like the GMA 900, the GMA 950 also lacks Hardware Transform and Lighting technology, which reduces performance and in many instances, compatibility for many 3D graphics applications and games. The 950 will run most older games that do not require a Hardware T&L. The 950 outperforms the GMA 900, but falls behind the ATI Radeon Xpress 200[citation needed]. It is adequate for 2D applications (such as watching movies) and basic 3D applications, but much less suited for high-end gaming. Some confusion exists between GMA 900 and GMA 950, in stating that they both support the same Vertex Shader version 2.0, while in reality GMA 950 supports version 3.0. This is all applied in the software drivers and is also supported by the fact that GMA 950 nearly doubles the 3D Mark 2005 score achieved by the GMA 900, whereby the GMA 950 was included on the first consumer Intel Chipset to support Dual-Core CPUs.[2] This post has been edited by adriankhoo153: Jun 19 2007, 07:57 AM |

The aforementioned instructions do not uninstall the program from the registry key simply by brute force. It's just to get rid of the value data which might possibly interfere with the appearance of the Uninstall button. |

Any1 here managed to get their Vista 32bit to see all 4gb of RAM? I'm using 4gb but System Properties only shows 2.8gb. My BIOS shows all 4gb is there. I've tried the ForceEnable PAE thingy which will supposedly work but still, System Properties still shows just 2.8gb of RAM.

It is normal for 32-bit system to get that amount. 32-bit system up till today only can support up to 3.2GB while for 64-bit, it coulc support up to 8GB RAM if im not mistaken.

in that case, you will have to set manual IP address as because the auto setting is something unable to detect setting.
XP surely able to set to auto IP detect though. Well, it is not hard to set IP address though. |

I dunno, while it's faster using 2GB than 1GB, I never see Vista using more than 700MB of RAM in one go, and that's + prefetch which will free automatically needed RAM according to needs. A very high RAM usage in Vista is very rare because the nature of usage is different from XP, and if anything a high RAM usage is usually caused by spyware or worms. even then, I acheived my 700MB RAM usage running Adobe Photoshop and Football Manager side by side, both which uses a lot of RAM.Wahlao!

While it's true that some heavy apps can load faster, there are not much difference in performance of the OS itself as it don't need that much RAM to work in the first place. 1GB is the sweet spot for Vista and that's why the experience rating don't change. comprende?

I have also sometimes encounter error while updating updates from microsoft.core 2 duo e4300 1.80ghz 2 gb ddr2 sd-ram geforce 7300 le the problem is not with the performance of my vista home premium (it runs perfectly well but it is with the performance of internet explorer. internet explorer runs extremely slow on my pc even when i run it. there is no problems like this whatsoever with firefox, only ie. after googling around, i found that the phishing filter seems to be the butt of that problem and i immediately went to turn it off. there is no improvements whatsoever and to top it off, the so called update that would fix this(link below) cant install on my pc. it says 'the update does not apply to your system'. so, is there any way to improve the performance of internet explorer? thanks in advance. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en QUOTE(ianho @ Jun 3 2007, 05:20 AM) I'm thinking of changing my mobo. Currently on Nforce 4 mobo. Thinking of changing to N680i. I've read that Vista already has Nforce 2,3,4,5,6 all inside already n there's no need for the mobo drivers. If this is true then all I need to do is just replace the mobo n everything shud boot up perfectly n run as normal? How about the activation? Will Vista detect my new mobo n ask for reactivation? I also planning of mobo upgrade next year. Is Vista has the Windows recovery like XP when boot up from the Vista DVD?Really dont wanna reformat. Hate that as a reformat means days of reinstalling progs n settings all over again. I absolutely hate reformatting. QUOTE(lucifah @ Jun 7 2007, 09:54 PM) Vista is fukin great... never had much fun since Mac OSX I am also get use to it. Its very useful. No need to wait searching all over the hard drive.very intuitive, especially the new START--> SEARCH thingy. needs time to adjust but once u know how to utilise it, u'll see many ways to make your life easier. the only downside is this thing doesn't run well on older machine. needs high requirement, but since hardware price are falling like mad now, who gives a second thought about splurging a couple more GB of ram? |

I agree. 1GB RAM issufficient as i downloading using torrent already utillize 1.13 GB RAM. If loading game for example COH and CNC3, 2GB is a requirement.

4Gb of memory for Vista is the 'sweet spot' for Vista
2Gb of memory is the 'sweet spot' for XP Currently I use 2Gb of memory...XP is just extremely responsive Vista however, there are slow-downs... Anyways, anyone here having video driver crashes? I update to the latest Nvidia drivers for my 7800 gtx and sometimes it crashes (screen goes blank, then the balloon pops up and says "your display driver has crashed. successfully recovered etc.) |

The only way you can use 4GB is by using the 64bit version of Vista, and not many software are compatible yet with that version. Go learn the basics of computing. And mostly you're 2GB in XP are wasted electricity idling doing nothing while Vista will use prefetch to use any available RAM to make software faster. go figure2Gb of memory is the 'sweet spot' for XP Currently I use 2Gb of memory...XP is just extremely responsive Vista however, there are slow-downs...

When it want drivers, go to manual and let it search in C:\Windows\System 32
IT's not Vista only problem, XP also will encounter this. Usually a rouge installer screw up the registery that let windows auto search for drivers |

Who said? and like I said, buff up your english before asking for help. It's hard enough to understand what you want in the first place
Vista 32bit can support up to only 3.2GB of RAM, but it does not mean that you can't put 4GB of RAM in your PC. Just a waste of space really, as it will idle and waste away your electricity. And it does not interfere with your installation. Rather you Motherboard is having problem IMO. And UNLESS you are running a server for HTTP or gaming, you don't need that much RAM. |

I am attempting to upgrade from Windows XP Pro SP2 to Windows Vista Home
Premimum. When I incert the CD, Vista comes up with the message that my computer is not ACPI compliant. I checked my bios settings, APCI is enabled, so I assume for some reason it was not installed when I installed XP. I checked the device manager and it was not. However, I attempted to reinstall XP and I cannot for the life of me get ACPI to install. I tried pressing F5 during the raid driver installation and nothing happens. How do I get my computer to install ACPI? Added on July 1, 2007, 11:25 amAfter booting from CD for install, in 1 minute, I get this following error with Blue Screen. "The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant. Please concat your system vendor for an updated BIOS.

What i suspect here is the mobo itself is not Vista certified. This is one case which occur due to imcompatibility of the mobo. My suggestion now is to make sure that you are able to contact your mobo manufacturer and ask them whether is there any update require for Vista.
You can ask them through website( find Internet Cafe if you not have other PC) or directly give them a call. Added on July 1, 2007, 12:54 pmTry to look for Vista certified. Easier. This post has been edited by karom: Jul 1 2007, 12:54 PM |

Hi guys. I realized i have this problem when i can only burn at 2x instead of 8x/16x and when playing from the drive the media will stutter a bit. I know this is a very common problem but most solution on the net i found and here as well are for XP. And of course i have already tried ticking that Enable DMA box but to no avail, it just won't enable the mode. I've tried uninstalling the controller as well, but it always reinstalls it back to PIO mode.
Anyone can help me solve this problem ?  |

QUOTE(karom @ Jul 2 2007, 07:21 PM) It is great to see that Vista Ultimate 64-bit can support 128GB RAM. But it is still depends on mobo in the first place. Up to this moment, mainstream mobo mostly support up to 8GB ram. No personal user will ever maximise more than 3GB of RAM. 128GB is only for server based motherboard. Abit is the one that i know could support 32GB DDR2 ram. |

Aghh..so frustrating..It keep on rebooting asking for restart for update. Can update and can install but when reboot it configure update then failed. Keep on repeating the step..
Got to do a manual updating. AGHHHHH.....Still updating!! FOund the problem Godamit!!! Because of this stupid thing i spend 2 hours updating manually. DAMN!!! A few months back, Microsoft released an update that drove some users crazy when it stopped their Internet Explorer from working. Jump forward to the patch release yesterday, and you find that another update is causing pain to a number of Vista users. QUOTE Update KB935807 is the one in question. This update patches a hole in the firewall, and is described by Microsoft as: This moderate security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability. This vulnerability could allow incoming unsolicited network traffic to access a network interface. An attacker could potentially gather information about the affected host. This security update addresses the vulnerability by modifying the Windows Vista firewall default behavior to block unsolicited traffic communicating over the Teredo interface. If you read the growing list of comments on my post about this update, you'll see that some users are simply not able to install the update, receiving an 800070002 error, while others are given warnings by WGA, and some machines even go into a restarting loop. Users at Microsoft's forum are reporting the same problem, and no resolution has been found yet. Stupid Microsoft for wasting my time on this shit!  Look at all this reboot time i wasted! Release a stupid patch to cover a old problem but ended up that patch got problem it self... This post has been edited by adriankhoo153: Jul 11 2007, 11:01 PM |

QUOTE(linkinstreet @ Jul 12 2007, 11:27 PM) Change Regional language to chinese/taiwan. The words that you can see was saved using UNICODE which can be viewed by all language format, but teh ones that you cannot see were saved in ANSI where only the correct locale can see it. To view txt files that you cannot see, right click --> open with --> internet explorer. in internet explorer, right click --> encoding --> chinese (there are many formats, choose the correct one). This is not a vista only problem, it's common in all os including MAC and Linux thanks linkinstreet..prob solve.hehe |
