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!

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
