1) Vista is the slowest most crappy os, how can I make it faster?
2) You could throw it out the window so it will fall and it would go faster
1) if I tied a rock it it before I throw it will it go faster?
2) idiot! the acceleration g is constant!!! no matter if its a feather or a canon ball! What differs is the distance it will travel as its accelerating, and its aerodynamics.
1) so if I put it in an aerodynamic enclosure it will go faster?
2) yes but thats not all you can do!
1) Ahh I see what you mean.. can I put it in a canon and shoot it?
2) canons are so 16th century! Now that the US economy is falling apart they are selling the shuttle rocket solid fuel boosters that you can tie on to vista and shoot into space!
1) But what if we steer it towards a planet? Wont the gravitational pull
make it faster?
2) That would do some good but if you really want to make if faster you
can steer it towards a star
1) A star is good.. but I would like to make it go faster.. vista is so
lame its still slow
2) then steer it towards a black hole its intense gravitational pull will accelerate it to close to the speed of light
1) But what will happen when it enters the black hole?
2) It will enter a parallel alternate universe where vista works well,doesnt have bugs, and free and works fast.
How to boot Vista faster? I have Vista Home Premium on Core 2 Duo 2.26GHZ. Also i have 4GB ram. How can I make my Vista boot faster? I followed all the tutorials in this site, but didnt help much. Msconfig tweaks (extra services/programs disabled on startup) Disk Defragment. My boot time is 89 seconds.
"Recent and controversial benchmarks for Windows 7 leave an important question unanswered: 'Is it faster than GNU/Linux?' Here, at last, is a benchmark that pits Ubuntu, Vista and Windows 7 against each other on the same modern hardware. From install time to GUI efficiency, Ubuntu beats Windows and is often twice as fast. Where Windows 7 is competitive, the difference is something the average user would not notice. The average GNU/Linux user is now getting better absolute performance from their computer as well as better value than the average Windows user."
Are there real advantages to upgrading from 800MHZ memory to 1066? I use my computer for common tasks such as txt edit (Wordpad or above); CD-DVD burning, email, Internet Explorer. I just changed my graphics card from a 8600 to a 9880 Nvidia board, and the computer has become much more faster.
on my compaq laptop i have wireless "G" on my compaq desktop i have wired "N1" so laptop speed is 54mps desktops is 100mps i downloaded an appplication on my laptop download speed was max 450kbps i downloaded an application (same one) on my desktop piddly 87kbs and the desktop is supposed to be way faster also why are all wired coonection on status bar in vist maximum 100mps but wireless they go up to 150mps?
I am receving a popup warning that a given device "could run faster" if plugged in to another USB port. I only have two external ports and have been using the same devices since day 1; Logitech receiver and iPhone cable. The only recent changes hardware wise is Dell installed a new motherboard. I have uninstalled the two USB composite devices and reinstalled them, no luck. I have check for updates and non are found.
I know this question has been asked, but in my opinion, never fully answered, depending of where I look. I bought a new system :PC 6400 RAM, MSI 8600GT Overclocked. Now, I plan in "some" foreseeable future to add another 2 GB of RAM but not now, and I don't mind reformatting and start from scratch at any time. Should I go 32 or 64 bit? All drivers are available for my stuff. Software too for the most part. I heard 32bit runs faster than 64, and sometimes the opposite. What should I do?
Have an 80gb iPod plugged in. All of a sudden I see a little notification saying 'this device can run faster if you plug it into another port.' huh? it runs fine. Now Windows wants me to run Check Disc on the iPod. But when I do it, it says it can't, since the disc is in use. So when I click 'schedule scan at startup,' it does nothing.
I currently have a problem with running dreamscene, it slows my computer down when running it, as soon as I open up other windows. Also moving windows around the desktop is noticebly slower, along with the fact dreamscene stutters. I currently use a Nvidia Geforce 7300se which is intergrated graphics.
I was looking to upgrade to a cheap ATI HD3450 graphics card to solve this problem. Does anyone here know if the HD3450 will speed up dreamscene to its optimal level along with using and opening up windows without slow downs?
IObit Game Booster 1.1 - TechSpot Downloads. Very rarely do I find little free apps that actually do anything useful, but this app closes down all 2000, xp and vista processes not needed during gaming. I got an extra 7fps in Far Cry2 small ranch very high benchmark. That's the same increase as overclocking from 3.16 to 3.8 on my Vista 64 x48 e8500 with gtx280. You probably all know about it already, but I only found it recently.
i installed cricket 2004 in my laptop with 1gb ram. unfortunately the game requires only 64mb of ram. so my game runs very faster that i culdnt play on it. i want to restrict the memory size that is allocated to that application.
Yes me again with another puzzle I right clicked my C: Drive with the intention of turning "index drive for faster searching" off, but I get error boot/memtest etc........and therefore cannot do this, first of all is it wise for me to try and do this, and secondly how do I get around this error? Btw I have UAC turned off for this, but before I get that error above it also says I need Administrator permissions etc........which I have, so what is this all about
If I use "start search" and look for something that might be in program files/email/web history/etc then I can type in a couple of chars and it's up there in the results. I have a folder of MP3 music and if I search for something (in the title) I get no results. The folder is marked as "Index this folder for faster searching" so why does it not get included in the search?
Make Windows 7 a *completely* 64-bit operating system. Most modern processors (the ones that'll meet the min requirements) are 64-bit capable. This will be the final step in securing a 64-bit standard! This will incline software developers to make more, if not most, programs 64-bit.
I fail to understand why they feel the need to convince people who are happy with Vista that they are wrong.

before this i try to install vista on my machine. and for sure in that time we need to create user (adminstrator) before we start using the vista. after that, i try to keep an image for my vista because if anything happen, it will be more easier to me. then, i try to image on my machine again. but, there already have i user which mean the administrator that i create during the 1st installation. so, when i do the image, i need to put the different user name because the user name that i try to create already exist. so that will create 2 different user when imaging is done. is there any way how to delete the 1st user? so when imaging is done, it will only 1 user (new user) and the windows will be automatically show the desktop. (i know how to delete from control panel>user account). actually this is for my client.
I love to download flash games. Does anyone know how to make the .swf into a .exe or make the .swf's open with macromedia flash player?(rather than opening them using my browser.)
I am concerned that Vista is not taking advantage of my RAM. I have searched high and low for an answer, but all I find are posts by people complaining that Vista uses all their RAM, and the obvious responses that Vista _should_ use all their RAM. My problem is that I have a 64-bit system with 8 GB of RAM, and Vista only ever seems to use about 2.5 GB of it. I notice quite slow performance, for example, when I use Firefox with 80 tabs or so, but RAM usage is still relatively low. Of course my pagefile.sys is always an 8 GB file when I check. How can I make Vista use all of my RAM? I should be getting better performance.
Tabs are one of the best new features in Internet Explorer 7. I like them because they keep my task bar clean of extra Internet Explorer instances. The only problem I have is with pop-ups that are on my allow list such as when I write a new message in Outlook Web Access. Follow these steps to configure Internet Explorer 7 to always open up pop-ups in a new tab instead of a new browser window:
While IE7 is running, click on Tools and select Internet Options.
On the General tab under the Tabs section hit Settings....
Want to bring the look of the Windows 7 taskbar and interface to Windows Vista? Thanks to the hard work of a dedicated Vista user, everyone can download a special visual style for Windows Vista that will transform your pc.
Before you can install the new visual style the visual style engine must be patched to allow non-Microsoft visual styles. Check out my article on using VistaGlazz to do that...
Does ANYONE out there know anything about importing music with the new Vista? We just bought our Dell from Best Buy and Dell tells us to call BB and BB tells us to call Dell or bring it in... here is whats going on... I want to make a DVD of our kids for my husband. Easy enough... well I want to add music (did it on our old laptop with Windows XP noooo problem!) well NOW... no matter WHAT music cd I RIP to Windows Media Player and try to import the music to the movie I get this message Track -- .wma is protected using digital rights management and cannot be imported.)
How can I make my games run in a window? (For some reason, I prefer to play games in "windowed mode".) In XP you had to add something like "-w" on the shortcut thingy... But it doesn't work on Vista. I know how to do the "Windowed GUI" -thingy, but I think it quite doesn't help me. I even tried it, but the games still run in fullscreen. I have managed to make a few games run in a window, but that is because there was an option for it in the game options. Unfortunately for me, not all games have that kind of options. Or maybe I'm just blind, and I don't find that kind of things from the game options. *shrug*
I cannot figure out how to make a contact group. The help menu says to 'click on the toolbar', but I can't seem to figure out what they are talking about. I also don't know what a taskbar and a toolbar are. (I know that sounds ridiculous, but, nevertheless.....)
