I'm running (factory installed) Vista Ultimate 64-bit on a new (3 month old) HP w1907 desktop computer. HP Update recommends downloading and installing "NVIDIA Unified Graphic Update", 74.4 MB, taking an estimated 4.3 hours on my dial-up connection. Reason given has something to do with recovery from sleep mode - which I never use. Nevertheless, I decided to download and install the update.
View 4 Replieswhen I install x64 XP, i have no troubles, but when I try to install Vista od Seven, both x64, installation takes ages... it does install at the end, but it just takes too long (read: 2 hours). After instalation, it continues to be slow, both of the cores are at 100%. I've search for a while for a solution, but I've found different answers for the same problem, none of them works. Is there anyone with the same/simmilar configuration and has no troubles with vista?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a new i7 (a quad core with HT - for 8 threads) computer and I have been running Windows 7 on it. I have not run Vista on it yet. I had Vista with my previous computer, a Pentium 4 with HT. As I recorded TV with Vista on my older computer, the time to display the list of TV recordings would grow longer and longer, eventually taking 2 minutes (my screen saver would kick in before media center was finished compiling the list) with around 500 to 600 recordings or more. On my new i7 computer running Windows 7 RC, with about 500 recordings (double that if I plug in my external drive), the time it takes to display the list is almost instantaneous. Does Windows 7 Media Center have a better algorithm for calculating the list than the Vista version of Media Center, or is my i7 computer that much faster than a 6 year old computer?What length of time are Vista Media Center users experiencing on newer hardware with regards to displaying the list of shows?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just installed a fresh Vista x64 on a (temporary, just for the fun/experimenting) SATA disk, while I wait for my new SAS drives to arrive. After the install it all was ok-ish (experience index on the drive was only 2.3, so pretty slow compared to my old XP machine). The rest of my system all shows 5.9's But after fiddling around with new drivers and tips and trick I learned from this forum, it all went downhill from here. Navigation is very sluggish and the boot up time is 445 seconds (!) I did about everything I could find on this forum to speed up the OS, but no luck. Is there a tool available that helps me to find out which process/driver is causing the delay? Something like Bootvis for XP.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Vista Business and a Vista Ultimate laptop. I'm trying to join a Windows 2008 domain. It takes forever for both machines to join the domain. If I let it sit it eventually does maybe 40 minutes later. Then when I log off it takes about the same amount of time to log off? It seems like it eventually joins the domain but takes a VERY long time. I don't have this same issue with Windows XP machines..
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen you click shut down, Vista doesn't shut down, or do anything for that matter. If it cannot terminate all processes, in about 3 to 5 minutes it will pop up this screen that say like "this process is hanging, click here to terminate and shut down" or something like that.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a folder with about 142 gigs of files in it and when I open it up, it takes sometimes 15 sec. before anything shows in the folder, while the little strip across the top of the folder does its "Progress" thing. Yes, I have Indexing on for that partition (this is a partition of my main hard drive; it is a 566g partition used only for archiving and it has 126gigs left).
What strikes me as particularly stupid about this is that it does the "progress" thing EVERY time, even if I close it and open it again 10 seconds later, it does not "remember" the indexing or whatever it just did! Is there any way to fix this? Seems absolutely ridiculous to have a super fast computer that can't find files in a folder without waiting 15 seconds!

View 5 Replies View RelatedI downloaded the full update from Microsoft this morning. Though I've been pretty good about installing hot patches and updates as they became available, the SP1 install took nearly an hour. The process was troublefree and completely automatic, but it involved several reboots and took quite awhile. Be sure to allocate sufficient time to install this update.

I tried to download/install a game from realarcade today. When the installer program was running I got a message that an error occured. I tried to redownload the game and this time I got a windows message that files were corrupted, try again. I also got a dialog box saying the program might not have installed properly or I could check it had installed properly. I clicked cancel but immediately another box appeAred as if it were trying to install. I hit cancel. My question, where does all the files/programing reside after I hit cancel. Can any of it be left over and be in an incomplete state and mess up anything else? I looked in programs to see if it could be uninstalled but it was not in that list.

Is there a way to determine if my installation of Vista already has this installed? I've already checked the Control Panel/Windows Update/Review Update History, it's not in there, I thought it may be in the core install on the DVD?

View 5 Replies View Relatedever since I allowed my new computer (6 mos. old, and running Vista) to download and install the updates available Feb. 12, it has been a horror show. My computer is crashing at least once a day. I've tried going back to various previous restore points, but then, after the "restore process", up pops the message "System retore did not complete successfully. Your computer's system files and settings were not changed. Details: An unspecified error occurred during System Restore. ". In addition I can no longer use task bar tabs in Wordperfect, to, for example change margins. If I do, up on the screen flashes a message saying that I've committed an error, then terminates my word processing screen. Even if I bring up a letter I typed ayear ago and try to change anything, Vista interjects and closes the application.

If I choose NOT to install a particular update, is the damned icon going to sit in my system tray and keep NAGGING me until I do, or is there a way to make it go away - without turning off Updates completely. There is an IE update which I don't care to add because I don't use IE, but when I choose not to install it, the icon won't go away.
