Ok.. I started noticing this bug two days ago.. First of all, files are
desappering from my pc!! At first I thought tht I deleted them or some1 else did, but I copied 3 files yesterday and today I can't find neither on the location I copied them 2 or anywhere else!! 2nd, I don't have a DSL connecting at home, so what I do is tht I go to the net cafe near my house download the files I want, move them to my flash and paste them on my HDD, MSI packege files get corrupted during this opperation!! I don't know wht's exactly wrong, but I've downloaded some files more than once, and when I run them on my PC the installer says tht the file is corrupted.. 3rd, everytime I start windows, it takes more time to start up than before, and when running WMP and try to do anything else the system DIES!! I mean, I check on the task manager, and sometimes the CPU usage reaches 100% and other times the RAM usage reaches 100%, and sometimes they both do!! that didn't happen in beta2.. I don't know why, but I feel tht virtualization is causing programs to work in background even though I closed them, like WMP and Media center, and Index.. 4th, cud u please remove the security alerts when running a program or starting an installation when in an administrator's account!! I mean, it doesn't make any sense that I should click "OK" evertime I open the program, I'm really suffering with this when using winRAR 3.3, I can't right click a zipped file and click extract here, or any other option in the program, they are disabled, and when I click them I don't get a msg or anything, I get forced to open the program click "OK" to the security msg, go to the file location and click "Extract Files"!! Which really sucks for me, cuz I use that program alot.. 5th, cud any1 plzzz tell RealTek guys to make a desent driver for AC'97 audio cards for windows vista and fix there server, cuz whenever I download a driver it's max speed for download reaches 4KpSec!! 6th, I have 2 pieces of RAM "256MB" each, but the system gives me tht I have 502!! Does any1 know why?? Some told me tht it's because of the built-In GPU card, but I'm not using it, I'm using a PCI-Express card, and I have disabled the built-In card from the bios.. Last thing, multipe users on vista are giving me a headache!! See, I have 2 accounts, Admin "Mine", and user "for the rest of the family", when I open my account, then switch to the other, the aero style is disabled, the pc gets too slow, and when running new programs the istaller opens and sets up the program like installing it for the 1st time or repairing it, and it keeps bugging me to login as admin andregister my productse even though I already did!! I know tht I have said too much, SORRY.. Thnx for replyin in advance.. Thnx P.S.: My system: MB MSI 915GM2 CPU Intel 3.2 GPU MSI GeForce 6600LE 256MB PCI-Express RAM 512MB DDR HDD 120GB Segate SATA |

Honestly, you are way short on RAM. You need to go to 1GB at least if you
want better performance. I have 2GB and Vista sometimes use 1.8 of it. Colin "DiDo FRGT/10" wrote: Ok.. I started noticing this bug two days ago.. First of all, files are desappering from my pc!!
