Vista is slower than XP. Win7 boots slower than Vista. Cathy's boobs are too large so she loses balance when walking. My car is too fast so can't stop properly at intersections. neighbor's child is being a child so he screams, and I hate that man... errr child. China id too large. Will you stop complaining & just get a modern computer to run a new OS? Or let's go back to DOS p- sure it can run f-g fast even on coal-powered machine.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've tried everything to get my games to run smoothly on Vista, and nothing seems to work very well. Its not so much as my computer sucks, cause when I downgraded to XP, just to try it out, my games were running perfectly smooth. And don't say, "Just stick with XP then!" cause I love Vista in its many other ways.
The only reason I can come up with as to why my games run much slower on Vista is because Vista is a DirectX10 supported OS, but has a DirectX9 "emulator". And since all my games, and video card are DX9 compatible, it runs in the emulated mode. Now we all know running emulators makes our computers run a bit slower, so thats the only solution I can come up with.
Well I know alot of others have had this problem, and Microsoft knows its a problem, so they have said, and I've been told that Vista SP1 would fix that. Well I downloaded SP1 RC Refresh, yet nothing seems to have changed at all...
So heres my questions - Do you guys feel that because its a DX10 supported OS, and im running DX9 software/hardware, that thats a reason why my games run slower? Also what do you guys think on Vista SP1 RC Refresh?
VISTA SUCKS, I broke down and gave it a try. I have a recent computer, dualcore cpu, 2gigs etc. I went into it with an open mind, I never believe what people say until I try it myself. I expected it to be about 10% slower on benchmarks (gaming), etc. But I figured with a fast computer that 10% might not be missed.
It's so stupid! (unstable/crashy/crappy). My drivers are all up-to-date, etc. I've had more crashes in two days then I did in two years with XP. Games run horribly!I'm thinking I lost more then 10% performance, when things arent crashing With that said.... Goodbye you "sexy dumb blonde" of an operating system... I'm going back to ugly/reliable XP, after only two days...
I need to make a decision within the next 3 days or so.
I have a new HP XW8600 dual Quad Core with 16GB Ram with ATI 4780HD Toxic GPU and a Raid 5 with Cheetahs T10.
I will almost exclusively use it for Video editing with the Matrox Axio HD Board. To me speed is very important because of long rendering times it sometime take.
Vista X64 is fully supported and tested by Matrox with the hardware I have, so a pretty safe bet. However I have a few friends who are trying to pursuade me into installing Win7 instead, because it supposedly is much faster and since it uses a lot of the Vista engine it still is reliable/stable and it uses the same drivers as Vista X64 .
this goings to sound dumb buts dose vista sp1 make its run slower ors is it like every one is on the web tonight? seams to make things running slower n was wonderings if any one else was having this issue?
View 9 Replies View Relatedif someone could give me some guidance on the following problem. A few days back, it looked like I might have to reload Vista. When I put the supplied Vista DVD in the either of the 2 optical drives, the operating system appeared to boot up as normal from the hard disc. When I go into Setup, the boot order is as follows:-
1.CD-ROM
2.SONY DVD ROM
3.HARD DISK
This is a bit strange as the 2 optical drives that are fitted are
SONY DVD-ROM DDU1615.
SAMSUNG SH-S183 DVD/CD WRITER.
The SAMSUNG was fitted by the company I bought the pc from about 3 months after the purchase because the original SONY DVD Writer would only burn CD'S & not DVD's. The Sony was EIDE but the SAMSUNG is SATA. The Bios does'nt appear to give any details about the SAMSUNG drive so it seems its not been included in the list of boot devices & I do not know how to fix that.....
There was a power outage, then when I turned the computer on, VISTA boots but never completely. I end up with a grey screen with the mouse arrow and nothing to point at. I tried to do a repair using the installation DVD, it tells me that" "Your computer is running a limited diagnostic state. If you use System Restore in teh limited state, you can not undo the restore operation. Help topic are not available in this state". I do not want to do a new installation and loose my files and have to install and register everything again. It has been doing that since 1:30pm and still nothing.
View 5 Replies View RelatedA long time ago I installed an evaluation version of Windows Vista on the second partition of my pc, next to my installation of Windows XP (dual boot partition C and L). The evaluation period has long since expired and I am no longer using Vista. However, all the files are still present on my second partition, and every time I start my pc, the boot menu will come up. What do I need to do to completely remove all the files that belong to Windows Vista and make sure that my system boots straight into Windows XP,without stopping for the boot menu?
View 6 Replies View RelatedIt's a Dell Precision laptop running Vista Ultimate SP1 32-bit and it started off being quite snappy when first installed and now it just gets slower and slower everyday. It starts up slower and programs are launched much more slowly than before. I defrag the disk(s) regularly and there are 4GB of RAM so what could be the reason? Yes, there are more programs installed and more disk space actually used over time but why should that slow down the whole machine?

I Finally Ended My Microsoft Boycott Of Windows Vista Service Pack One RTM And Returned 2 It Yesterday Night, And Now I Am Wondering Exactly What Was I Thinking (As Windows Vista Service Pack One Is A Whole Lot Slower Than Open Source Linux Ubuntu 7.10 RTW, Open Source Linux Ubuntu 8.04 Long Term Support Official Beta Refresh, And Microsoft Windows Server 2008 RTM), Just FYI. I Think That Frank, Bill Yanyire, The MS-MVP's, And Microsoft Itself Needs A Major Wake Up Call Regarding Windows Vista Service Pack One, As It's Much Slower Than The Other 3 Mentioned Operating Systems Combined, Just FYI. All Sold Copies Of Windows Vista Needs 2 Be Recalled, Before It Does Some Kind Of Major Destruction 2 Some Large Corporation's Computer Networks, Also Just FYI.

Well, i previously had Combined Community Codec Pack but after viewing the thread on vista64bit codecs, i uninstalled this and used vista64bit codecs. But then i could play only media center not my windows media player. So after getting so annoying i installed Combined Community Codec Pack again.

Cut the crap: classic is slower than aero (*) Ahhh yes.. educating the vistaboys once more.. the cluless mvps and vista-trolls alike. What can I do.. its so ironic that I, who think vista is a bucket of crap, know more than most fanboys about their OS. So here is the lesson of the day:
(*) Classic is slower than aero on machines that are aero glass capable. This is a clear fact that so many have gotten wrong is hilairious. Even tech geeks give this as one of their tips to make vista faster.
If your card doesnt support aero then classic is as slow as with the aero basic theme, and that means absolutly NO acceleration (compared to XP that DID have GDI acceleration that was lighning fast!) But its not faster with classic theme. Its slower........
We have a client with a new Vista Business x64 Workstation joined to a 2003 (native) AD domain. The hardware specs are first class (64GB RAM, Dual Qaud core 3+GHz Intel Procs, Fastest SATA disks available, 2 Uber Graphics card in SLI, Giabit NIC, etc.). This machine must move large amounts of data to a File Server's SAN frequently (hundreds of gigs per upload or download). The problem is uploads and downloads to this file server via mapped drive in Vista take considerably longer than either an XP Pro SP2 or MacBook Pro from THE SAME network jack.
What we have done so far with minimal improvements if any:
1. Disabled active AV scanning on the file server and removed it completely on the Vista workstation (were using Trend Micro).
2. Disabled "Remote Differential Compression".
3. Disabled SMB 2.0 via registry
***at this point the file transfer calculation seemed to start working correctly, previously it would estimate it would take 4+ hours to copy 85Gb of test data when in reality it was finished much much sooner (several minutes but forget the exact number now)*** Client reported some speed improvements at this point but not that great. From the file server during the transfer (when this is the only transfer happening on the network) the Gigabit NIC on the server reports a network utilization of 30-40%......
I've been getting very slow download speeds on vista and have done everything I could to fix it. I have disabled the tcp auto tuning following this guide, turned off the QoS thing following this guide, turned off my phishing filter and firewall, switched over to a static IP, and maybe some other stuff i cant remember but in the end I still get terrible download speeds compared to my computer that runs XP I went to speedtest.net to make sure I wasnt crazy...Vista: ~750 download XP: ~11600 download the upload and ping were the same.
Both computers are wireless (same distance from router) but I think that my be where the problem lies...I have a linksys wireless pci card and they apparently dont have drivers for my card for 64 bit vista, so I found this post and was able to get a driver to get my card working and get online. Im not saying this is the problem but just throwing it out there just incase it may be.So my question is what could be the cause of my slow downloading and what can I do to fix it?
Just purchased a new HP desktop with Vista and Norton Internet Security. DSL connection with line connection to Ethernet slot. The Internet connection is slower than dial up. The old crappy desktop I'm replacing was faster! Been through Norton and HP support desks, both of which have not fixed the issue. What suggestions do you have? If I can't fix this, I'm returning it and purchasing a MAC!

View 9 Replies View RelatedMy vista (ultimate x64) is working perfectly, and only one thing bothers me.When I installed vista, and some programs (cc cleaner,winamp..), everything was fine during startup. But, when i downloaded Dreamscene from Windows update, now when desktop shows-the background is still (frozen), and the only thing I can click with mouse is taskbar, and icons on taskbar. Then, after one and a half, or two minutes, the circle on the mouse shows, like its loading something, the background start playing, and then everything works perfectly.
I was looking at programs that starts with windows, but nothing-those are the same programs that were before dreamscene (java, windows defender, roccat drivers, nvcpldaemon, nvmediacenter). When I uninstaled dreamscene, everything was fine again. But, since I want DS, is there a soultion? Is there a manual dreamscene instalation, so that I can try with that-without windows update? Or its not DS, its something else.
My windows xp that I have had for about 2 years suddenly started to shut down and restart on its own. Out of the blue, over and over. Boots up shuts down, Boots up shuts down.

I would seriously love to get this fixed as I have reinstalled Vista 4x, the last being 18-months ago
How may I resolve OR troubleshoot this issue? I have done a restore point back 2 weeks, but thats as far as I can go without getting an error.
this is my 3rd fresh clean install, using both vista x86 and x64, and all new hardware as well (new mobo, hd's, cpu, ram, etc):
symptom:
after a day of two of creating a user account, the hd access starts to become excruciatingly slow, and gets slower with time. when you use explorer and want to access the hard drives, the system takes 3-7 seconds to open the folder. when browsing pictures, it takes 3-6 seconds to switch to the next, etc.
creating a new user account solves the problem temporarily, until a day or two passes, and then the same thing starts to happen!
what i've tried so far:
- disabled indexing (windows search service)
- disabled hard drive indexing
- tried booting up as ide, as well as ahci
- created new install with raid0, and same issue.
system:
* e8400
* asus p5q-e with latest bios
* 2 x 320 wd 3200aaks sata drives, 1 x 250 wd 2500aaks sata drive
* asus sata dvdrw drive
* 4 gb crucial ballistix pc2-6400 (ddr2-800)
i've noticed this problem accelerates even more when using the "sleep" power mode. but even when disabling this, it still happens.
i've googled for over 2 weeks. i've done 3 fresh installs, i've replaced all the hw, and used 3 different copies of vista ultimate, with same results!
update: here is a video of the problem:

View 6 Replies View RelatedI just built a brand new computer, it consists of the following: Q6600 quad core, EVGA 780i mobo, 8 gigs Corsair XMS2-6400 800MHz mem at 5.5.5.18 (of which only 2 gig during install), 2 150gig Raptors in RAID 0, and a Maxtor 300gig for additional storage. I am going to be putting in a 9800GX2 GPU in aprox 2 weeks(waiting for availability at my fav shop). For now I have an ATI X800 GTO GPU in it. Now all of these items are compatible with Vista(as far as I have found). After 4 installs that would not complete, I finally get to Vista desktop, the automatic update does its thing, reboots, and reboots...etc. I found a hard start from off it boots?!? So I turn off and put in 1 more stick of RAM(now at 4 gigs). Same prob, reboot snags over and over, but a hard start is good. I have a TON of components to install and hard start is not going to cut it.
