Hello! I've installed Vista (RC1) in a dual-boot environment, alongside XP Pro. I need to be able to back up the PC but the image sizes are almost as big as the partitions being backedup. I am used to heavy compression when imaging (I have been using Paragon Hard Disk Manager to do this up until now) but am now having space issues! I've read here already that no compression is applied when...

Hello! I've installed Vista (RC1) in a dual-boot environment, alongside XP Pro. I wish to use the image backup mode to backup my entire VISTA OS partition. BUT I do *not* want to backup my XP Pro partition as I have other arrangements for that. However, the option to deselect it from the source partitions pick list is disabled, so the only way I can backup my Vista installation successfully...

Is there a memory test that would tell me the wait states of my PC3200 DIMM DDR memory? Usually CL=2.5 or 3

Has anyone else seen Vista ignore the maximum and minimum processor state percentages at times? I can't set my laptop to use 50% of my processor max. Vista ignores this hard cap most of the time and runs at 100% if it needs it. -Derek 1.7 GHz Pentium M 1 GB Ram 60 GB Hdd 64 MB NVidia GeForce 5200

I have a Pentium D 820 (2.8 GHz) and 2GB DDR2 memory. When I installed Pre-RC1 I had only 1GB memory. I decided to upgrade since it seemed like it was constantly swapping! It helped, no doubt, but I'm curious if anyone else is pleased with responsiveness with only 1 GB? Thanks.

anyone know why my machine would not recognized the 8 gb of ram i have in there? i am using the 64 bit rc1 edition. i have more details but i am afraid to give them because people will close their minds. any ideas at all are welcome. Brett Evanson

Installed Vista Beta 2 six weeks ago. It ran fine ( a few bugs of course). Went on vacation and when I returned it froze after booting. Can't get past it. Symptoms: It boots fine. Loads up some stuff. You can use it and run apps. I can get Task Manager started. After about 2-5 minutes it freezes. No real indication what causes it. Nothing shows on Task Manager. It's actually going...

That's quite an old build. Right now you can get Build 5600, or RC1, which is a HUGE improvement over your version. DIV"dyann" > wrote in message .../DIV I've been playing around with Vista Beta 2 Build 5384 and it's history. There are so many issues it's scarey. Screen flashes, lost the see...

i've no codecs for audio and the decoder does not work for video in media cetner

In the virtual memory settings, I unchecked "Automatically manage page file size for all drives", and then selected "No paging file". Even though it didn't ask me to reboot when I applied the changes, I rebooted anyway, and now when I check, under "Total paging file size for all drives" it does say "Currently allocated: 0MB", as expected. Yet under Windows Task Manager\ Performance, under...

Hello, I've got two questions. First, how can I resize desktop icons ? For me, they're too big. And second, in Beta 2 (build 5384) was feature, which showed a small preview of a window, when you put a mouse arrow on its name on Taskbar. It was really nice and helpful. Now, in RC1 I can't find this option. In Beta 2 it was even default.

I just download RC1 and checked out the new backups and found some surprising problems that haven't been addressed as far as I know. The biggest and most surprising to me is that encrypted files don’t get backed up. And there is no warning of this. So if you encrypt a folder the files just get skipped. This is NOT GOOD. As people will think files are getting backed up when they are not....

Hello, For the last 3-4 days I have been receiving different error messages as to why IE has encountered a problem. After searching the Help section, the Newsgroups, etc. I now see I need to ask for assistance. The first question I have is when I see a fix or a thread regarding a particular error and a sample of the error message is provided does my error signature, including the offset have...

There was no any problem when I entered the windows vista 5600 the first time, using the account of "Administrator",but about five minute later ,the progress "taskmge.exe "takes up the CPU utilization rate about 80%～90%. All my drives came from the windows vista 5600.And installed all right.
