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 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...

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...

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

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

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

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...

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 have done dick check and found no error, bad sectors, etc. The device manager reports that the drive is operating normally - is there any way to disable the warnings??? Thanks in advance

You mean Vista 64 bit? Yes. Provided that your hardware and software applications are optimized for 64 bit processing. Otherwise, not much difference.
