Ask Your Vista Questions Here.

why don't you just buy vista ultimate, and stop being cheap. at least you get a REAL serial.

like creaky said, any talk about fake serial/keygen/cracks is AGAINST aD forum rules.

 

I think extremely stupid and cheap are the operative words for rajj!

 

Vista is so buggy when it first came out, i donwloaded when it first came out, but never got a sn... w/e... i didnt like it at all, well anyway i got a copy of vista and office 2007 recently becuase i didnt want to mess with sata hdd and sata drivers using xp. Everything installed nicely. Vista isnt as buggy as before, there are nice features, but most of the features take up so much of the computers resources. Also 2007 custom animations always lags and freezes and ive still cant find out why.

 

i dont think it is letting me download the sp1 for vista i have home premium it says my version is 6.0.6000. is there something wrong or what?

 

hi yes i need help my vista activation key thing says my key is already in use and that ive only got 28days to activeate it so please can someone give me a new key thanks bye

 

i've just installed service pack 1 for vista.its still not as fast as xp but its bearable. now i'd like to make an installation file of vista if possible with all my updates/bug fixes and service pack1(from windows update) or at least all the patches.does anyone know if this is possible?

 

We knew this was going to happen as soon as the cracks were released..

Buy vista to find your key is already in use.. brilliant!!

I hate the POC and am now refusing to support it across the board. It isn't worth my time trying to fix the broken by design rubbish.
I'm not on my own either.. In my town most PC shops don't do vista support.. they have signs in the window saying things like "we remove vista" and "M$ vista problems... Phone Microsucks!"

My 10 or so experiences of at so far are.. It's a resource hog.. it doesn't let you do obvious and simple administrator functions.. even as administrator.. Malware kills it stone dead.
It's like a unix system set up by a moron.. so many permissions are wrong it is incredible.

Don't buy.. and make it clear to retailers you would rather have a machine with a BLANK HDD than have this POS installed (and paid for with all the bloatware trials)

Broken by Design... Windows Vista.

 

Gee varnull you have ruined my day. I so wanted a new Vista machine! NOT LMAO I talked to a guy today that had his notebook crash(W98) and now Cox cable refuses to help him get it back in order to go online, because they no longer support W98. What happens when everyone stops supporting WXP???

Forgive me if it's been answered, but I couldn't find it w/ my bad eyes and lots to read.

Is there an up to date list of tweaks to speed up ViSTA, disabling the stuff most will not need?

I have VISTA Business x64 and moved from older VISTA Premium x64. Has drivers been updated for Creative and Adobe .dll's to work better since early 2007?

I had issues trying to run Adobe Audition 2.0, Adobe PDF virtual printer for x64 fix/mod and cannot run CD for Creative Audigy Platinum Pro (works fine under XP x64 and Server 2K3 x64).

I just want to slim it down to use less RAM under idle desktop and perform better under load in heavy media encoding. Has VISTA shown any advances yet for Xvid and or DVD transcoding?

 

dont care abotu security well i do but its almost last on my list


1.Compatiality
2.Stablity
3.Recoverabilty
4.Speed
5.Security

(this is why I run XP SP1)

LOL
I woud think they would have learned from 9X to XP that makehtign the dam new OS compable with the last OS >>

darnit where my google tool bar go..I needs spell checkings!!!

 

I have just a new HP laptop with vista and when I try to download Windows live messenger it just gets to 99% then stays there. Also in the sys tray it has the windows is downloading updates icon and when I open it up it just says preparing to install...... and has been at 0% for hours. Any help would be appreciated.

 

I am in the market to buy a new computer but the one I want only comes with Vista. From all that I hear about Vista, even with SP1, it's still not as good as XP as far as speed and using up the computers resources, and seems to have more than it's fair share of bugs in it.

In the opinion of those far more knowledgeable than I should I wait to get a computer or would it be worth my time and money to buy the new computer take the Vista off and add the XP? I will be needing the 64 bit OS in order to operate what I want on the computer and would XP be able to run the newer hardware like the TV tuners and newer ROM drives, etc.?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

 

I was wondering for the power options where u change from like power saver to high performance if theres like a timer of some sort. Like how I want my computer to run high performance from like 7 in the morning til like 9 at night then it goes into power saving by itself until its 7 in the morning again unless i change it manually. If there was a way it would save me alot of time and I won't have to worry about forgetting to go into power saving mode.

 

Are you speaking of all or full ACPI modes as likt C1+TM then S3 then to S4? you can just set to go into each after a certain number of minutes or hours ater inactivity. So even if you for one day stop early, it save power sooner. I dont know about VISTA for certain, most better mobo BIOS can do a wake up resume from S3/S4 on a timer in BIOS.
