You can use free software, I use passkey lite to decrypt the DVD and then I use Divx converter (Mp4 option instead of divx codec) It always up to date and simple to use.

I did and I like it. I used to play the pen and paper RPG and I think they did a good adaption.

It is indeed pure gold, extremely useful. I wish to find something similar for windows 7.

To compare text and registry I love http://winmerge.org/. It may not be as complete as Beyond Compare...

Beyond Compare seem good, but not better than freewares alternative dont you think ?

I would have say Acronis True Image, but I know use the free version from Western Digital.

Thank for your post, I hope to have other members contributions

it worked for me, thanks for your help.

Hi, Does someone know where to find a list of update, I try: http://www.windowsupdatesdownloader.com/UpdateLists.aspx But it seem vista is no longer updated. Thank a lot

I would like to try vista on a old laptop. It came with vista business but I dont have the installation medium. Can I use my vista business oem key to install home premium ( this dvd I have) ? PS: Both are 32 bits. Thank.

Hi, I was curious to have your take on this topic. Beside operating system, wich software ( no games or antivirus please) did you bought ? I will start, I have bough Alcohol 120 % lifetime licence.

Why still use SP2 ?

Thank a lot for your list ! I think you need to update it with KB2775511, it replace a lot of KB.

Diskmon should do the trick: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896646

Did you remove services of just disabled them ? if so restart your os with the default service configuration ( a .reg is avaible for that) and you will se if your problem is cause by a stopped service.

Will this prevent windows installation to create the 8.3 names or will this be apply once the pc restart after frest boot ?

Hi is it possible to include a tweak to disable ntfs 8.3 filenames ? Thank for your help

Does a Do not remove list post exist for this software ? I just discovered a componet not to remove that not marked in red. If you remove all games the game explorer goes with it and it was needed to play Just cause 2 steam version ! that a strange dependencies but it was like that.

@slimzky I use Rt-sevent lite with Windows 7 Sp1 and it work (without waik). Be sure to use the 2.6 beta version

activation key ? what do you mean. I know about serial number and the activation process but I never heard about the activation process.

Is it possible to reinstall windows 7 on a laptop using a OEM DVD with a legal key ? I was doing this with XP and it worked fine. I could format, partition the HD and then install a clean XP with the OEM key provided by the licence. Is it still possible in Windows 7 ?

just check every compatibily box. In doubt dont remove something.
