  1. I completely forgot about the limitation of 32bit with 4GB of memory, that just made my choice a whole lot easier because i will put a 4GB matched set of ram in soon

    I think i will go with Home Premium because i dont need any of those extra features because i already have True Image and use VNC for remote desktop and im not paranoid or stupid enough to need BitLocker.

    Not going to buy OEM anymore after reading their crappy a*s Agreement, I swap my hardware out every 4-5months so it would be pointless and Vista sure as hell aint worth £195 of my hard earned cash to buy the retail.

    I thought 32bit was limited to 2 gigs.. After that it starts lie-ing about how much ram you have, "I think" If not someone correct me on this please?

  2. Ha ha thats funny.......... One thing that does suck is this will probably hurt more users who actually paid for the software and not the pirates.... The pirates always figure it out. We'll see how this goes.........................................................

  3. Is it CRT? How old is it? It might be time to replace it if it is old. I had a CRT monitor do that and its like the pixles were blurry and it hurt my eyes a little bit. If you lower the resolution of the monitor does that help? If so you probably need a new monitor.

  4. well I did it....... Went back to XP :) Ill wait till Vista is more stable. The network tweaking didn't seem to make my computer any faster. Oh well thanks for everything anyway.

  5. You aren't doing anything negative to your hard drive by letting Vista's Indexing service run on it. That's by design, and only speeds up searching. The Vista search feature is one of the reasons why I won't go back to XP.

    As for the delay in file copies, that's been mostly fixed, for me atleast, with the Performance patches that have been out for over a week now. Also, if you follow the standard tweaks of disabling the two options starting with Link Layer and IPv6 (unless you are using it) in TCP/IP properties , that makes a HUGE difference.

    Wheres the tcp/ip properties at? thanks

  6. Well I understand that the way to open your 3D flip view is start button(windows logo) and tab, I do that and it don't work. My OS is Windows Vista Home Premium so is it for certain bits, like 32x,64x or 86x?

    I almost hate to ask this... but you're hitting what?!? Start button as in bottom left corner of the Windows desktop? or the Windows logo key on the keyboard?

    Flip 3D is the Windows (Keyboard) Key + Tab.

    When you press the windows key on the keyboard it brings up the start menu, so he is correct.

  7. Thanks I'll wait for a little bit more replys before switching or not switching. All my hardware has the right drivers and stuff, I just dont like how vista uses my harddrive every 5 seconds or less, even when sleeping, and how long it takes to copy files ect. and other little things.

  8. I have been using vista ultimate now since it came out. I had bought the oem dvd and i'm thinking of going back to XP pro for better performance. I want to do it but then again I don't. Could you guys give me reasons to switch or not to switch. thanks to all.
