FSX/readyboost drive/performance by Heath P. Dillon
Hi, My understanding is that a ready boost drive is a usb drive that vista uses to dump data to, rather than a hard disk as the readyboost drive is considered to be faster than the hard disk. So if my comment above is true, and I can now buy a 32gb readyboost drive for $70, is it a good idea to install games such as FsX onto a readyboost drive, and get better performance than using a HDD...

The Sims "Not Enough Space" Install Error by WeeMadRach[_3_]
Whenever I try to install the Sims Deluxe edition I get this error message: http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn96/WeeMadRach/Random/notenoughspaceerror.jpg] However, there is also a Sims Deluxe Edition on the installed programs list on the "Uninstall a Program" Window. Whenever I try to uninstall this it says the exact same thing. Help! This game is driving me crazy!

Star Wars Empire at War - DirectX problem by Scott1969
I tried to install and run this game on Vista Home Premium 32bit and the launcher tells me that insufficient DirectX is detected. It wants to install d3dx9_27.dll in order to run. I've tried running it in compatibility mode but no luck. I had the same problem in XP but just ran the DX installer to overcome it. Should I do the same in Vista or do I run the risk of overwriting something...

3d Pinball Space Cadet by Jezzie
I see this game is no longer included with Windows. (I have Vista Home Premium.) Will this game work under Vista? If so, where can I download it? If this won't work with Vista, does Microsoft have anything similar I can download?

Battlefield 2142 and Vista RC2 by intclass
Has anyone got it going yet? I tried to play it online but I kept getting a punkbuster kick, something that doesn't happen in any other games i've tried, and something I am yet to find any good information on. So is it Vista or another problem?
