Has anyone actually been satisfied with the release of SP1 for Vista? Does it solve the problems
that we've all griped about? Overview of Windows Vista SP1 From what I'm reading
from that document, I'm actually surprised, appalled, and in a way, now wondering if Vista can
actually be an upgrade. I laughed at: QUOTE Enhances support for high-definition (HD)
drives by adding new icons and labels that identify HD-DVD and Blu-ray drives as HD drives.
That's awesome. I never knew the HD drive that I bought was an HD until SP1. /rolleye...

Hi, I just noticed that my DVD-ROM has stopped the Autoplay feature. I have to right-click on the

Well, a new Windows has been announced. This is going to be the one after Vista. The name Windows
Seven is only a codename for it as it has not yet been decided upon a name for this new operating
system. A screenshot of Windows 7 Milestone 1 Build 6519: Source:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_7 This windows definitely be better then Windows Vista. What
are your guys views on this? What features do you want to see added to Windows 7 or removed from
Vista....

I'm currently saving up for a laptop for several purposes. One of these is gaming and another is
graphics. I can't decide whether to go used and get XP or new with Vista. The main games
I'll be playing are Guild Wars and Halo. I have heard that Vista is horrible and eats up a
crapload of memory. Well what should I do....

This is not a Win/Linux/Mac dispute, rather pointing out a few minor things that I find really
annoying in Windows OS and I'd rather change if I had the chance/knowledge (disclaimer: I mainly
refer to winxp but I've used almost all other versions, I have some experience with Linux and
almost never used a Mac OS) copying/moving files: ever tried to copy a folder containing one or
more corrupted files? if I were the OS I'd just skip those and copy the good ones, then prompt a
message "file x, y, z were not copied we're sorry for the inconvenience caused"....

I've heard this: Windows Vista is more Invulnerable to viruses, trojans, hacks, and more. And
I've heard this one: Windows Vista is not compatible on most Hardwares and softwares, and
Windows Vista isn't more invulnerable to viruses. Which one is right..? Thanks for your
postings...

I believe everyone in this forum knows what a file system means and that every windows user knows
what FAT and NTFS means so I am not gonna start going into those. Well, the NTFS (Windows NT file
system) offers a few advantages over the good ol' FAT (File allocation table) file system one of
which is the files and folders compression. This I have done quite a number of times to save disc
space (and it really does save some disc space). i am using my computer as an example here. Consider
my 35GB partition which is carrying my Windows Vista Operating sys and has less ...

Before i start i want to make sure you understand this is not a what OS is better this is a what is
better at certain things and your reasons why. I would also like to know more about Linux because
i'm slightly confused on it. Will it mess my computer up if i install it, dont like it, and
uninstall it? OK on with the topic. I own a Mac and work on one for many hours a day, but had
always used a Windows based system since well i was 5 and i remember my father using DOS to run Duke

Well I have been thinking about building a new gaming rig pretty soon and I will be able to spend a
bit more than usual because I already have the essentials( Mouse, Keyboard, Printer, Monitor) but I

that came with Windows Vista Home Premium. Now what I want to know is there anyway that I can
somehow get that onto a new machine I build as long as I take it off the laptop? I mean I bought the
laptop and if it comes with Vista, or any OS for that matter, I am purchasing the li...

Well after a week delay because of some conflict Microsoft finally releases XP SP3, and at a
whopping 342MB plan to wait awhile to get this bad boy downloaded. I had downloaded it from another
site, legally of course and to be honest I did not see any improvement whatsoever on my computer,
and so if you don't care one way or another about it make sure to disable your automatic updates
or deselect it from the options when you want to update your computer. That is my experience with
SP3 it wasn't to earth shattering but who knows for those with older computers it...

I found this interesting article the other day and I was looking at the programs that were mentioned
and I have to say that some of them I agree with and some I disagree with, and I try to explain what
I like and don't like. QUOTE 1. Expose Available on: Mac It's an elegantly simple
idea, and it has been available on the Mac since 2003. When you want a clear view of all the
application windows that are open at any one time, you just press F3, and a ittle feature called

Hi, We have been seeing Windows Vista Screenshots and from that we can take a look at the new GUI
for Windows. Its called Aero. But i believe it looks more like Linux. Dont you think so. Now the
Windows GUI is no longer unique. The are back with same GUI that other Operating Systems Already
have and Also just take a look at the icons. They are not good at all. Any information about Windows
GUI or you views on it. Please Reply Thank You...

faster performance. STEP 3: Find: LargeSystemCache - Double click it and chan...

If you bought a brand new computer within the past few years, you might have noticed that your
computer shipped with a Serial ATA (SATA) controller instead of the convetional Enhanced IDE (EIDE)
controller. The reason for this is to enhance performance and power management as SATA controllers
and their supported Hard Disk Drives have a higher data transfer speed against their IDE
counterparts. And they are supposed to use lesser amount of power thereby saving you more battery
life in your notebook's battery or UPS as the case may be. If you want to install and run ...

Hello! I am going crazy for a silly little thing. Please help me anyone! The icon for
ZIP files never shows the way it is supposed to. Instead it insists on displaying the Windows
'default document' icon for ZIP files. If I rightclick a zip and choose icon properties, I
can set the icon to be fetched from the winzip executable instead, and all looks fine and dandy
inside the properties dialog, but after refreshing or repairing icon cache it is still the default
document icon that is displayed. If I try to change the icon enough times it will ev...
