MMMMM, i have a AMD 4400+ 64 X2 and I am wondering which version of Vista is better to run with it. should I just install the 32bit version, or go with the 64bit? which will give me the better performance elc..... thanks

I just went into: Admin tools >> System Configuration >> Services >> found Windows search and stoped the service. I've got 4 harddrives, so it was a bit mad having them all indexed, system was on its knees, would take 3 -5 minute to boot, about 30 seconds for a program to launch, if i was using a browser, pages would take longer to download. with this beening a new install, maybe its just a bit mad because its the first index, its doing I mite, turn it back on, tomorrow and just leave it running all afternoon, see if it settles down after that. anyway, with youing xp, i'm use to waiting minutes for a search....LOL

HI, I run a daul boot windows system, boot 1 is windows xp pro64, and I have no probs with the system boot 2 is vista, got my copy of vista bussiness through the post, so to save time upgraded the beta vista copy to the new vista business, now when using this my harddrive is grinding like mad, it never stops, from when i boot vista to i trun it off. this doesnt happen in windows xp pro64 , and hard drives are working fine, checked them out to make sure, is this just a issue with the new os ???? i'm running: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe 1 gig of Cruical memory Hiper Modular R 580w psu LG 16x Super Multi DVD/CD Rewriter Thermaltake Shark black pc case PNY Verto GeForce FX:5200 128mb DDR graphic card SB Audigy Platinum EX sound card --- EDIT --- done a bit of checking in the computer management system, its seems to be SearchIndexer.exe that is the main cause --- EDIT 2 --- I just switched this off, system alot faster, and thankfully quieter and more hard drive friendly

Hi, I am looking to upgrade my certificates to MSCE, and have been looking around to buy a MCSE Self Paced Training Kit. I know that Microsoft does have there own one called MCSE Self Paced Training Kit: Windows Server 2003 Core Requirements Book/CD Package 2nd Edition, which seems to be good. But I have seen that some of the other publishers have their own training kits, are any of these better?. I know its a bit of a hard question "which is best", I'm having to ask this as my local book shops only have the Microsoft kit and not the others. Thanks Steve

Hi Bezalel, As far as I know, Windows XP N versions dont install WMP by default, its still part of the OS [i think], but you have to decide to install it ourself.

Hi all, I've started to see companies advertise this type of Windows XP, what does the N, stand for?. And what is the difference between this and the old Windows XP Pro?. Thanks Steve Agh p***, just found out...... Sorry about this post [waste of space] heres the answer, if anyone whats to know...... http://www.microsoft.com/uk/windows/editio.../edition-n.mspx

What I have is two hard drives, the master [C:] has a new install of windows xp home, and the slave [D:] has an old install of windows xp home, which will not boot, due to a problem with an upgrade, which is why I have a new install. I am looking to to access the data with in the D: %AppData% so I can move it to the C: %AppData%, if you get my drift. How can I do this???
