How does the memory cache work in vista and can it be configured? The reason I am asking is this. I was looking on the performance tab of the task manager. For the physical memory it says: Total 2045, Cached 1199, Free 40. Is it bad to only have 40MB free?

Yep I have plenty of room. I was just wondering why I had over 9GB in my windows folder.

I installed Vista as an upgrade to my XP Pro setup. I was looking and I saw that the windows directory is now 9GB in size! I was wondering what folders would be safe to nuke. 3.4GB is in a folder called c:\windows\winsxs and I was wonder what this folder is and do I really need it.

I have a couple of networking issues and I am not sure how to fix them. The first is a minor one. When I try to use a p2p filesharing program, I get the max tcp connections reached in the event log. How can I increase these connections? The second issue is a major one and I hope someone can help me with it. We have a small workgroup network setup at home. There are 5 machines with 4 running xp pro and mine running vista. We are connected to a dual wan router with 2 cable modems attached. I am able to connect to the internet with no problems. I am able to copy files from the shared folders on the other machines. When I try to copy files to to one of the shares on those machines, I lose all network connectivity and my system has to have a hard reboot. I have the User Sharing Wizard unchecked. The largest file I tried to copy was only 3MB. If one of the other machines tries to copy a file to my share, it causes their machine to lock up. Any idea what is causing this and how I can fix it? I am wondering whether or not to enable the onboard marvell gigalan nic and disable the nvidia nic to see if that helps any at all. Also none of the other machines are using the v6tcp/ip stack. On my vista machine both v4 and v6 are enabled.

Has anyone been able to get the HP D5160 printer driver to install? UPDATE: The software on the hp disc will not install. I was able to install a vista driver for the 5100 series and it works.

Another way to turn off the User Account Control is: Control Panel>User Accounts>Turn User Account Control on or Off(found on at the bottom of the window listed under Make Changes to your User Account)

Does the audigy 4 work well with vista?

I have a lot of data that I would like to get restored now that I finally got vista to install on my nf4 system. When I try advanced restore and select the drive with the bkf file it tells me no backups were found. Is there a way to restore this data?

I have a dfi lp nf4 ultra d mobo. I have 2 200GB WD sata150 drives in a raid 0 and 2 300GB WD sata300 drives in a raid 0. I currently have xp installed on a 40GB partition created on the sata150 array. I created a 40GB partition on the sata300 array. I followed the instructions here to get the driver to load: http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/vista-rc1-...&highlight= I was able to load the driver and then see the drives. When I select the partition to install RC 2 I get the following message: Windows is unable to find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation. Any ideas what is causing that message. I have tried deleting the partition and creating it and formatting using the RC2 install disc and that doesn't help. I have tried using a partition on both the sata150 and the sata300 arrays. I have tried using several suggestions except the one that says all of the partitions have to be created with vista. I have data and backups on one of the arrays that I am not going to delete.
