ok, so here's the deal with whats going on, which i don't understand. On my vista machine i have two mapped drives that connect to my server (windows 2003). Now, I tried two things and figured out what the deal was: 1. I setup a FTP server on the Server machine and shared one drive on the ftp server. I then ran a FTP client on my vista machine and transfered a file from the server to my vista machine and got 60MB/sec! 2. I then set up a share on my Vista machine, logged into my server and transfered a file from my Server to the shared Vista folder and got 60MB/sec. 3. Back on my vista machine, I tried transferring a file from the mapped network drive (which is the same drive as my above 2 tests) to my Vista machine hard drive and got only 20MB/sec. Also, instead of going thru the mapped drives, i went thru the network browser (which essentially is the same thing i guess) and still got only 20MB/sec. I have auto tuning off, firewall service turned off, and no anti-virus software running...also sending a file from my vista machine to the server thru the mapped drive results in 60MB/sec transfer...its only when im transfering FROM the server to the vista machine from the mapped drive or network browser that i get 20MB/sec. so basically, FTPing into the server and transferring a file to my vista machine resulted in a fast 60MB/sec transfer....as well as sharing a folder in vista and accessing that share thru the server and transferring a file to the vista machine thru that share on the server machine resulted in a fast 60MB/sec transfer... the problem lies when using Vista's explorer (mapped drives or not) to transfer a file from the server to the vista machine...which only results in 20MB/sec. So something is up with how vista is mapping the network drives and something with vista is causing it to transfer slow when going from the mapped drive to the vista machine. Any ideas?

hey, i just started using vista media center and installed my movies, everything is working fine but i want to be able to arrange the icons on the main page, i'm using it mainly has a movie/picture/music center and i have no need for anything else...don't have a TV tuner. I only want specific icons on the main page and order them the way I want, but I have no idea where to start to do that Also, i've realized that vista media center and windows media player are inter-connected...atleast for the music section, the mp3s i add/remove from WMP also changes what i see in vista MC....but no so for the picture albums...it automatically adds all the folders/pictures found in the Pictures directory...even tho that directory is not listed in the watched list....i only want to show specific albums in vista mc, and the only way i've found is to set the folder attribute to "Hidden" for it not to show up....any other way to do this? thanks

Hi, im looking for software that will allow me to split mp3s (like if i only wanted the mp3 from second 0:23 to 1:12), software that will allow me to combine two mp3s (like if i split 2 mp3s, i want to attach one to the end and make one long mp3), and maybe some software that will also allow me to fade in/fade out parts of the mp3 (as in it starts of at a low volume and then gets to regular volume) Im looking for a good software for that, mainly for splitting and joining mp3s, and the splitting maybe at the millisecond level and not the second level thanks

I used nLite to install the hotfixes, not using the svpack.inf, so how will that affect the install/hotfixes? Can i still use svpack.inf to include the media player 10 and msn7 even after ive installed the patches using nLite? Also, where to get msn7 silent install?

Hi, how are you guys I ran across this forum a month or so ago and found it wonderful, the activity and knowledge here is amazing I had no idea there was such a thing as the unattended, found it a little overwhelming at first, but i said ill try it, cant hurt, and it'll make formatting a hell of a lot easier/faster. I'll be posting here when i run into a roadblock or when i just have a question b4 doing something, so far, i've been following the step-by-step found here: http://unattended.msfn.org Im still at the begginer section, installing the hotfixes using nLite. Question 1: I installed the critical hot fixes found in this thread using nLite, but was not able to install this one: KB873374 -› Microsoft GDI+ Detection Tool Download -› 216 KB (September 21, 2004) Switches: KB873374.exe /Q:A /R:N (HALT BOX) how do i install that hotfix? Can it be installed using the svpack.inf method? If so, is it ok to install some hotfixes using nLite and some using the svpack.inf method? In the svpack.inf do i have to put the (HALT BOX) in the switch too? or just the /Q:A /R:N? Question 2: In the thread where it lists all the hotfixes, it says "WITH Windows Media Player 10 & MSN Messenger 7 installed". What does that mean? These can only be installed when Media Player 10 and Messenger 7 are installed? Thats all the questions I have right now, thank you.

yes it is for a single account, its at one of my stores for an employee and i want the employee to have very limited access to the PC contents. I will look into Fresh UI, thank you.

Hi I want to create a user account that is VERY limited, the user should not be able to install any programs, access the control panel, or access the files on the harddrive. Is there a way to do this? Thank you
