d-shade Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 (edited) I'm having some issues with vista.. i just installed it over my xp install.. vista made a windows.old folder and dumped all the xp files there. don't have a dvd drive on that computer so i wasn't able to format.but i was trying to copy a folder over from a different partition of the hdd which the folder is about 7gigs.it starts copying fine and the computer locks up about 10-25%after fighting with this for a while i decided to pull the ram out and it copys fine with both sticks when they are by themselfs but when both sticks are in vista locks up.i also had this problem when trying install ffxi i was able to get it to work after setting the appearence to classic.what do you think the issue might be??MSI KT6V-LSR 2400+ Athlon XP2x256mb ddr400Geforce 5200 128mbVista RC1 Build 5600 Edited September 27, 2006 by d-shade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kartel Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I also noticed my computer freezing up when I downloaded a 1.7g file.When it finished downloading, it copied to the destination folder and at the end, froze for a few minutes.Nothing would respond, then everything i clicked, just popped up and was ok.

kartel Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Ya it works real good, just the huge downloads, when they move from the temp file to the destination folder at completion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
