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!

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
