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.

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...

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...

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...

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

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.

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

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

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...

Complete PC Backup - Compression Hello! I've installed Vista (RC1) in a dual-boot environment, alongside XP Pro.

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...

Where can I find the raw numbers (calculations per second, memory operations per second, etc) which Vista uses as the basis for calculating its Windows Experience Index subscores for the processor, memory, graphics, gaming graphics, and primary hard disk? And how exactly does Vista compute those raw numbers?
