Reinstalled so that Media Center was included, and my IR Remote Receiver is now working. However, I'm still having the speed issues. I'm talking almost 0% CPU usage, and I open a folder, and it shoots right up to 100% and everything freezes for about 30 seconds. Same when I close a folder. As far as what's running? I have Firefox & AVG Anti-Virus running, and whatever Windows has running. It says it's eating up about 1.15 GBs of my 2 GBs of RAM. I'm also running an Intel Pentium 4 @ 3.6 Ghz with Hyper Threading, and an ATI Radeon X700 Pro video card with 256 MBs of DDR3 RAM connected via PCI-E.

I contacted HP about the IR Reciever (They made it). Apparently that can't work on it's own, it requires Media Center, which I disabled. As far as running slower, the computer locks up quite a bit, and the processor is usually at 100% usage. I didn't have that problem with the original Vista. No hardware or anything has changed.

Just installed "Vista Lite" and I'm having problems. Everything's actually running slower than with the full install. Any ideas why this may happen? Also, I have an HP IR Remote Receiver, and that's not working anymore. It's model ovu400102/00. Any ideas what I may have done to disable it?
