Hi All, I am not sure if Im hitting the correct newsgroup. I have some questions regarding Windows Performance monitors like CPU monitor, disk monitor etc.. I googled for the appropriate news group but could not get any which is more relevant than this. Kindly tell me if there is any other forum to discuss issues with " Windows Performance Monitors " OR this is the right place. Thanks in...

Despite all nice ideas in here I just want to bring something up that could cause this behaviour. RAM. If your memory is full, Windows will start paging inactive areas of the RAM onto the harddrive to free up some space in the ram modules, thus creating a lot of harddrive activity. I know that Vista got 8 times more (yes 8 times!) RAM requirement than it's predecessor Windows XP (min....

Been fooling around trying to create a gadget for the sidebar to display network activity. In previous versions of windows where WMI was available I would query Win32_PerfFormattedData_TCPIP_NetworkInterface but this seems to be unavailable in RC1. Has it been renamed or removed? Specifically I am looking for BytesSentPersec and BytesReceivedPersec. Any ideas? or did I just not look hard...

When I try to connect to many webpages, they just will not display, I can refresh til the cows come home. If I get to a webpage works fine but does vista have a problem with Linkage or particular types of webpages?

I have a problem with the activation of MS Office 2007 Beta in Vista CR1. When I try to activate MS Office 2007 the following error message keeps coming up: "A communication error has occurred. Your request cannot be processed at this time. Please try again in a few minutes". I had no difficulty activating Office 2007 in Vista Beta or Windows XP. Can anyone help?

Vista RC1 - When launching Task manager it constantly shows 40%-60% CPU load, even when no other application is running. System (NT kernel & System) process takes around 10%, svchost takes 20%-30% and System Idle process is around 50% (this one takes no less then 97% on my XP, same hardware). Is this normal? TIA

Is there a way to move the Quick Launch Bar to the left side. Not the whole Task Bar just the Quick Launch Bar. I have always been able to do this prior releases of Windows.

Running Vista build 5536 on an Athlon 64, even when (for whatever reason) my CPU usage is pegged at 100%, the Reliability and Performance Monitor reports that the CPU is running at 50% Maximum Frequency. On Win XP on the same system, AMD's dashboard software shows that that during heavy CPU usage, the processor runs at full speed, and at all other times runs at half speed. But the dashboard...

I have my hard drive partitioned with Windows XP and program files only on the C: partition. My docs, music and temp files all have their own partitions. I want to install Vista RC 1. What problems am I likely to encounter? I am aware of software compatibility issues but am more concerned with how to get both OS's running on the one computer.

A question for whomever understands Vista's memory subsystem: Is it possible that performance would increase for any particular workload is swap is disabled? A workload I have in mind is of a user who runs a program which uses a large amount of memory to perform its own agressive caching (independent of Windows's file cache) of its own data files, with the result that Windows decides to swap...
