View 5 Replieswhen vista came out everyone was trying to escape by getting xp... then they started using ipods, iphones, MAC OSX, even crappy Linux! Then windows 7 came out and everyone is trying to get rid of the crap OS named vista. The vista infection still exists... but it will die very soon...

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have run Defrag several times on this computer and watched it finish. Is there a way to get the defrag tool in Vista to report the file fragmentation? Why doesn't Vista defragment the volume fully when it is run? When I switch over to the XP side on dual boot, I run XP's defrag tool. XP's Defrag tool always reports that "I need to defrag this disk". Is it OK to defrag the Vista Volume with Windows XP Defrag? What up with this? Why doesn't Vista work as well as XP?

Now that I have Windows 7 running, I will help people on the alt newsgroup but not under the nym of "Alias".
View 9 Replies View RelatedDoes Vista (Home Premium, in my case) defrag the hard drive(s) on its
own, without being scheduled to do so? I know I can manually force a
defrag, but what about unscheduled defrags?
why there is no defrag progress graph in vista (like the one there was in xp). The defrag just has a scheduler or defrag now and then there is no way of knowing how far along it is. Any thoughts would be welcome.

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy windows vista black edition v2 computer keeps turning off randomly. I am pretty sure it is something that I downloaded, so I am wondering if I can download a windows installer on this computer onto a disc from somewhere. It rarely loads through to see the desktop, and the extended scan I did found no errors. What to do?

View 5 Replies View RelatedCan anyone tell me if Microsoft Plus! Digital Media Edition will run on Vista? I tried posting this question on the Windows Media discussion forum, but can't get the website to work. Used this program mainly for the analogue recording facitility (to copy tapes, minidiscs, records to my PC), so even if Microsoft Plus! Digital Media Edition doesn't work, does anyone know of an alternative?

View 6 Replies View Relatedi am having really slow boot ups lately on my laptop. i have done things such as virus scans, defrag hhd, scan regestry with REGESTRY BOOSTER 2009, defrag regestry. i also have no start up programs in my strat up folder. Problem is that i could start from dead start to a fully loaded desktop in 98 secs....now it takes 124 secs to do the same thing. where it takes the longest is at the boot screen i just watch it load then the windows logo comes up and it smooth sailing from there. i would say it takes about 8-12 secs after the windows logo to get to desktop.

View 9 Replies View RelatedVista Home Premium. Downloads used to work fine. All of a sudden I cannot download any freeware/shareware programs. The green thingie goes across and the download count increments normally. The box also says that the download is to a temporary file whereas previously, my downloads went to the user folder. Anyway, when it's done downloading, I cannot find a temporary file. A search does not produce a location of the program or a temporary file.

Converting files, burning CD's and DVD's and things like font management, etc. I use my computer for general use (documents, school papers, resumes, etc.) and for graphics for my web page profiles and creating web pages; and home management (budgets, etc.) Any trusted freeware libraries you're aware of?

View 9 Replies View RelatedJust sharing an experience. These ReadyBoost usb thumb drives seem to be a real hit and miss thing. I just bought a Patriot 16GB Xporter XTBoost usb thumb drive. I tried it on one computer running Vista Ultimate x64 and the machine just kept trying to find a driver for it but never succeeded in mounting it.
I tried it on another computer running VU x86 and it came right up and let me configure it for ReadyBoost. I then booted into a VU x64 installation on that same computer and it configured it for storage fine but failed it for ReadyBoost.
vista has 50 million lines of code

View 9 Replies View RelatedCut 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........
I'll be damned if Vista insists on biting me after every damn update! Does MS even test this crap or simply pass it by the testers desk? I get things calmed a bit then another update and I'm losing text and the cursor has an epileptic fit. This is a systemic situation starting last November to present as things were fine till they updated something. I've spoken with users from private community to DOD and they all report same.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI was able to delete MovieMaker, PhotoGallery, Games/etc crap folders which are inaccessible or @least undeletable for normal people. I can delete Windows itself, of course won't ever do that, but theoretically I defeated every shiled that prevents normal people to fully control their "assets". My point is not to brag about it or advertise pointless actions. I am just happy I own this laptop & every bit of harddisk except Bootsector (which I can still penetrate with special binary tools).
Things people think can't be done, can be done if you have brains. Also since I hate WinLiveMail and all Live applications, I forced regular WinMail to work under WIndows7 RC; I am sure when Windows7 comes out I won't be bothering with LiveMail horrendous crapware. WinMail will work here, ideally I want OutlookExpress but... there's a technical problem that prevente dme from forcing it run under Windows7 (too long to explain). Or I might simply start using Outlook which's been idle in my MSOffice2007,except it's too bloated and makes me feel bad about losing good old OE. So folks, you can access and delete things, dont ask me how b/c Microsoft who runs these forums will not appreciate, I just can do whatever.... it's my laptop after all.
Last week, Microsoft finally announced that there would be six editions of Windows 7, just like there were for Windows XP and Windows Vista. The company will release Windows 7 Starter (worldwide only via OEMs), Windows 7 Home Basic (only in emerging markets), Windows 7 Home Premium (retail and OEM), Windows 7 Professional (retail and OEM), Windows 7 Ultimate Edition (retail only during promotions and OEM), and Windows 7 Enterprise (volume licenses). However, as part of its initiative to simplify the lineup, the software giant will only market Home Premium and Professional to average users. Most will be getting Windows 7 with their next purchase of a desktop, notebook, or netbook. (Speaking of netbooks, Microsoft also noted last week that all editions of Windows 7 will work on netbooks and it will be up to the OEM's discretion as to what editions they want to offer on each product.)
If you won't be going through an OEM, you'll either want to purchase a full retail copy of Windows 7, a cheaper upgrade edition, or the OEM version (usually the cheapest and best way). While Microsoft has not given details on pricing for any of the three, the company has agreed to offer upgrade options to both Windows XP and Windows Vista users, and they are worth outlining in detail.
A) Defragment or not to Defragment?
B) Defragment manually or scheduled Defragment?
