Got Vista today. Was bored at work so i rang one of my clients and asked him to put one aside for me.

I just went with home premium as it has the features that i want. And was a good price.

Seems pretty good to me, using it right now.

On annoying thing is when my computer boots it comes to a multiboot screen with two options.

1. Older windows install (or something to that effect)

2. Windows Vista

But the hdd i installed vista on was a clean install, with a format and a deletion of the existing partition.

And my secondary drive is just full of my donwloads, mp3's, videos, etc, etc

Anyone know of an easy way to get rid of this? It's not exactly a problem but still irritates me none the less.

Properties of my computer > advanced system settings > startup and recovery settings

Pick the default option (vista) and untick the time to display list, or reduce the time to like 2-3 seconds.

I must admit I like the Vista 64bit Ultimate (ebay 4tehwinha)

just got to remember to run things in administrator mode

ie Logitech Setpoint, teamspeak, bf2, and have to tick my mic boost everytime I load up ;)

yeah still on XP Krastler

i was going to upgrade my whole PC i sold it to my son dirt cheap so was really a gift but spent the money on coilovers ;) which im well happy with

lucky for me i didnt upgrade cause everything has had a huge price drop

I want to do a full upgrade end of the year.

I'll wait till AMD launch there desktop quad core cpu's. And also wait till the next gen of nvidia cards our out.

I could certainly use another gig of ram in the pc now using vista.

Need some help with my computer it's a HP pavilion a1060 bout 15 months old now and i think i got a virus while downloading music from limwire. It froze and ever since that it comes up with sytem error on start up. Iv put the HP system recovery disk in and all good till it gets to 92% and comes up with Error copying file. Iv then got a nother recovery disk from HP and its doing the same thing any idea whats wrong.

cheers

nooo.. hp good, user bad!!! =P

nfi, unable to copy files during windows setup could also mean a critical peice of HW is faulty.... first thing i would look at is ram, then optical drive, HDD, then mobo then cpu... if it still fails after you have tested all those, including the cables they connect to MB with (for the drives)... then you have yourself a BIG problem

btw, let this be a lesson to you all!!! Limewire brakes PCs, DONT use it... EVER!!!! RARARARARARA!!! and dont use zone alarm, thats even worse!

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
