I was looking for a way to remove media center from vista so that I can reduce the amount of space vista takes as well as get rid of unneeded applications running in the back ground. We have many different machines where I work and although a good majority are newer we have some older machines that will still need to run vista when we decide to switch to it. I have improved the performance...

I tried to uninstall PC-cillin using the Programs and Features Uninstall button in the Control Panel and got the message "This is only for programs that are installed" which was silly since it was installed. I couldn't delete the program folders because I got the famous "You need Administrator permission to do this" message even though I am and Administrator. I went into safe mode and...

when i empty recycle bin -one file is left behind-a different file each time-could be a document or music -anything-..and if i try to delete it,a window comes up saying.......are you sure you want to delete WINDOWS. ANY IDEAS PLEASE -- kim

PC-cillin's antivirus program seems to hog the computer for the first 90 seconds or so after startup. It is so bad that one cannot even get Task Manager to run until PC-cillin has reduced its load. A couple of other programs fail because they cannot start in a reasonable time. Has anyone else suffered this annoyance too? Colin

Hello, I installed RC1, made a backup of my files (Backup & Restore - Backup Files). I later had to reinstall RC1 because of some driver issues. I then went to restore some individual files from the backup (by clicking on 'Advanced Restore'). However, I am having the following problems: 1) If I choose "Files from the latest backup made on this computer" I

P4, 1GB RAM, ATA133, Geforce 6200 256MB, Onboard sound AL97 I am told new h/w has been added and to calculate a new Windows experience index. Fair enough. I do it. Aero Assessment OK. Direct 3D Alpha Blend OK. Texture Load OK. ALU assessment OK. Then Media Playback. After 30s or so blank screen - no signal detected. Disk light still blinks. 5 minutes later, reboot. Any ideas?

So, I am using the post RC1 build, it looks and works beautiful, I just love the new Vista, but unfortunately, it randomly freezes. I think it is ok for a beta OS, I have also installed tons of unsupported software and drivers, but my question is, where can I get a list of which driver takes the system down? I want to disable the code or the service that is randomly freezing my machine, but...

Hi I know about flight simulations. I have a Pentium D 930 3GHz, 2GD SDRAM DDR2 and a GeForce 7800 GT PCIe, I guess pretty much on a par with your system, and IL2 Forgotten Battles and Lock On are working under Vista RC1 64-bit exactly like, if not a little better, under Win XP. I use nVidia Control Panel to adjust 3D Config to "Quality" on "Using my preferences", and that's it. Same with...

System 2GHz P4 1GB RAM ATA133 HDD Geforce fx6200 256MB I was playing an MP3 (320Kbs) in media player, whilst viewing some photos (5MB JPEG) and every time I moved to the next photo the MP3 stuttered quite badly. Sometimes the photos would initially blur for a couple of seconds before they had been fully processed. Playing uncompressed AVI files in media player also gives a very jerky picture....

Hi All, Indexing was working fine on my machine in RC1 and i love it by the way, anyway, all of a sudden i type a search in at the bottom of the start menu and the search menu pops up with this "Your searches might be slow because the index is not running. Click to turn on the index..." So i click and choose 'turn on index' from the popup menu and a popup comes up and says "do you want to...

Hi All, I have Vista RC1 installed. When I try to install any application (like the HP essentials for printer & scanner), even when I use the compatibility wizard, the install is detecting the Operating System as Windows XP 64 bit and complaining that it can not be installed on this system. Similarly when I install MAfee Security Products or InCD... it gives an error when starting the...
