Vista are being sued for using the Office Live name and in SP1 they will change it... Also, Direct X 10.1 is coming in SP1.

[Rolls]

Well they did just release a new patch which supposedly increased overall speed and performance by 50 percent...

Got a link to this supposed 50% gain?

[Pauly33GTS-t]

VISTA ONLY.

[Rolls]

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.

Go to Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings > Advanced > Startup And Recovery and untick "Time to display operating systems"

[Madaz]

^^ lol how many advanced sub menu's they want

its not the only thing you'll be turning off either

[kralster]

You still on XP madaz?

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.

[Tangles]

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

[Madaz]

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

[kralster]

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.

[heslo]

Just finished playing a bit of BioShock, good game, great story and given me a few scares along the way

[Madaz]

lol i almost fell asleep playing it...

[heslo]

[Madaz]

[cruzin33]

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

Dave

[Madaz]

yeah the problem is its a HP

[Fishpaste~]

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!
