hi guys, i am planning to get a new computer which will probably arrive in the following week. and i will be installing vista on it. vista 32 bit that is. because i will be using 2 GB of ram so i don't need 64 bit and it causes too much trouble with drivers so i am leaving out on that for now. but my question is what should i remove and what should i leave on my iso for vista. i will be using the vista for the following things: Gaming (UT3, PES 2008, Crysis etc etc) Office 2007 MSN internet using firefox for that connecting my mobile phone with windows mobile on it utorrent SPSS (statistics) playing MP3 and movies nothing special to be honest the hardware will be the following: MSI P35 Neo-F, S775, P35, 4xDDR2 NEC AD-7191S 20x12x RAM, Kingston DChannel 2GB Kit, 2x1GB DDR2 PC2-5300 Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 2.20GHz, 800MHz, S775 Club 3D Radeon 3850 256MB, 2xDVI, HDTVo, PCIe so my question is could someone please tell me what things i definitely should not remove or what services i definitely should not disable. thanks in advance. by the way i have worked with vlite before so i know how it works. it's just that i'm lacking the knowledge of what i can or cannot remove. i know i can probably start doing this and finding it out by trial and error but i'm sure someone else here has tried this before and it would be a waste of time to go through the same process again to find exactly the same results. -------------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT: Ok i've made an iso with the following components removed until now. this is how it looks. and i have kept the things i needed. ; vLite preset file [information] Version = 1.1 RC on 2.0.50727.312 Microsoft Windows NT 6.0.6000.0 Target = Windows Vista ULTIMATE 32-bit - 6.0.6000.16386 - English (United States) [Compatibility] Halo 2 Paint.NET Aero Glass File and printer sharing (Server) Scanners and Cameras [Components] ;# Accessories # Accessibility Paint Snipping Tool Speech Support System Information Welcome Center Wordpad ;# Drivers # Display adapters Diva Server Ethernet network adapters Modems Printers-Apollo Printers-Brother Printers-Canon Printers-Citizen Printers-Dell Printers-Diconix Printers-Epson Printers-Fuji Xerox Printers-Fujitsu Printers-Generic printer Printers-Gestetner Printers-HP Printers-IBM Printers-Infotec Printers-Konica Printers-Konica Minolta Printers-Kyocera Mita Printers-Lanier Printers-Lexmark Printers-Minolta Printers-Minolta-QMS Printers-NEC Printers-NRG Printers-Oce Printers-Oki Printers-Okidata Printers-Olivetti Printers-Panasonic Printers-QMS Printers-Ricoh Printers-Samsung Printers-Savin Printers-Seikosha Printers-Sharp Printers-Sony Printers-Star Printers-Tally Printers-Tektronix Printers-Wipro ePeripherals Printers-Xerox QLogic Fibre Channel Adapter Scanners Sound controllers ;# Games # Inbox Games Premium Inbox Games ;# Hardware Support # Fax Support Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) Smartcards ;# Languages # Japanese Korean Simplified Chinese Traditional Chinese ;# Multimedia # Media Center Movie and DVD Maker Music and Video samples Sample Pictures Screensavers SideShow Wallpapers Windows Calendar Windows Photo Viewer ;# Network # Connect to a Network Projector Internet Explorer Internet Information Services (IIS) MSN Installer Remote Desktop and Assistance Remote Desktop Client Windows Collaboration ;# Services # Computer Browser Diagnostics Distributed Link Tracking Client DNS Client Error Reporting Microsoft DFS Replication Offline Files ReadyBoost Remote Registry Volume Shadow Copy WebDAV (WebClient) Windows Remote Management Windows Search Windows Time ;# System # BitLocker Drive Encryption Disk Quota Help IMAPIv2 Burning Support Microsoft Agent Natural Language Performance Counters Reliability and Performance Monitor System Restore Tablet PC Windows Backup Windows SAT (Performance Index) Zip Folder [Options] DEP (Data Execution Prevention) = Default User Account Control (UAC) = Disabled AntiSpyware Realtime Protection = Default AutoPlay = Enabled Paging Executive = Enabled Power scheme = Balanced Hibernation = Off Memory requirement = Default Control Panel - Classic View = Disabled Show hidden files and folders = No Show protected operating system files = No Show extensions for known file types = Yes IE Phishing Filter = Default IE Phishing Verification Ballon Tips = Default [Protection] [Drivers] [unattended] [Hotfixes] [LanguagePacks]
