  1. Note that Dreamscene will not install or run on Vista with SP1 beta installed, but is planned for SP1 final.
  2. I finally got SP1 to install after following the "safe to remove" list. Before following the list, my last failed installs ended up with the 0x800f0826 error at the third reboot. For anyone that is trying to pinpoint the item(s) when removed that cause the error, between my last failed install and my final successful install the items I UNremoved were: Connect to a network projector MSN Installer Distributed Link Tracking Client Bitlocker Disk Defrag Manual Install Zip Folder Windows Easy Transfer Windows Backup
  3. Now this sounds really interesting, my problems with 2k3 in the past were having to deal with compatibility everytime I bought a new piece of hardware... I'm going to need to do a re-install of a winos real soon since I had omitted one feature in my nlite that I need and can't seem to install. I'm still looking for suggestions on what to use to benchmark the OS's. I'll do a clean re-install of my nlited win2k and benchmark it as is afterwards (shouldn't take more than an hour). I'll do the same to winxp and win2k3. Also, since my goal is to use one of these as a secondary OS for maximum performance, they will all be configured similarly. I'd like to perform benchmarks that generally reflect real-world gains. After I'm done with the others I can also benchmark my somewhat bloated vlited vista for those that still believe that vista is the fastest
  4. I don't mind actually doing a benchmark comparison of WinXP vs. Win2k3 and posting the results here if we can't find someone else that has done so already. What benchmark programs and procedures are recommended? I'll also list the nlite session files as well and try to keep them as similar as possible. I am really curious of which NT is the reigning performance king.
  5. Thanks for the quick and straightforward answer. I will probably switch to XP. For the record, is XP probably faster than Win2003 as well?
  6. On my laptop I currently have a vlited Vista and a nlited Win2k on separate partitions. My Win2k installation is used purely for online multiplayer games where they perform dramatically better, which is likely due to the os using approx. 500mb less ram than my Vista. My nlited Win2k cd was 70mb, and I had basically removed everything from it that I did not need to run these games. My laptop has 1.5gb of ram, and a 1gb corsair turboflash usb drive which is used for Readyboost in Vista and for the page file in Win2k. My question is - if I had created a similar WinXP install with the same purpose as my Win2k installation, would WinXP show performance gains over my current os? I have noticed that people are able to create extremely small WinXP's.
  7. Perhaps installing vista to a usb flash drive would be the same procedure as installing xp?
