Another good idea would be to clean the Disk defragment the system fix errors on the drive disable the indexing service disabling the theme service go back the Win98 theme and finally clean the registry.
Easier since you wont have to export all your mail favourites documents reinstall all theese vital programs you cant live without as Photoshop CS3 GIMP Firefox Maxthon .Net Framework 3.5 Visual Studio Express Suite Office 2007 ZoneAlarm MuBlinder Avira AntivirPersonal AVG EasyCleaner NetObjects Fusion FrontPage 2003 Windows Live suite poweriso etc. And that is just like 5% of all the vital programs i cant live without.

vista runs smooth with 2gb of ram with lots of programs running, and 2gb is nothing!

I want to put up a video about it on YouTube but my camera is out of batteries.
And i could always record the desktop but that takes RAM.

by **Lonewolf** Thu May 29 2008, 09:49

see.... if you had more RAM you would be able too... sure you can run on a little bit of RAM but after a little while.. with a 160 gb HDD it will start to run slow... gimme a list of games that you play and programs that you have downloaded...

I dont play games >_> i create games.
It was ages ago i played a game like that, although i played RuneScape on Vista last week.
I have Adobe Photoshop CS3 Adobe Flash CS3 Gimp2.*(♥) NVU NetObjects Fusion 10 Microsoft Office 2007 (The complete suite) etc etc.
Sorry for not giving complete list, i dont have the energy.

Lonewolf, vista doesn't need 3gb! Microsoft said 512mb minimum but 1gb recomended, but they must be wrong, since dojan has 256 ram

They have put 512 as a minimum.
You cant install Vista on 256MB unless you patch the WinSetup.dll file to bypass the memory check.
So if that is not done you will not be able to run it.
But i have a friend who installed XP on 64MB ram...
It is really sluggish.

by **Lonewolf** Sat May 31 2008, 11:13

okay look there is this guy i know his name is jason. he does all the computer stuff for the whole city. he took and bought vista. he put it on a computer with 1 gb of RAM. we opened WoW, Guild Wars and bout 2 gimp and a photoshop... the computer wuz laggin after WoW! we put in 2 gigs and it lagged after Guildwars.. after 3 gigs of memory we could open all those things and MORE like Macromedia flash 3 virtual machine (XP, UBUNTU, Leopard) plus while playing the games and didn't start lagging till we had 35 HIGH graphical programs running...

Who would possibly play two games having three virtual machines having multiple gimps and photoshops at the same time?
It makes no sence.
Back on topic guys, this belongs to the Vista thread, not in XP.

I'd say

Xp - does that stand for something?

by **Support** Tue Jun 03 2008, 03:07

i know me stands for millenium edition
not sure about xp?

by **Hellblade** Tue Jun 03 2008, 04:47

I know NT stands for Network Technology (I think)

maybe Xp stands for xtra programs or xtra people

by **Dojan5** Sat Jun 14 2008, 17:45

NT stands for New Technology (NTFS = New Technology File System)
A NT system (Windows XP, Vista, me, etc.) cannot get Blue Screen Of Death.
XP stands for eXPerience (LAME!). Windows XP's code name was Whistler.
Between XP and Vista there was a never released OS called Longhorn (Not the Vista Beta) and originally Vista's codename was Blackcomb (Which they later took to windows 7 and called that blackcomb before renaming it to Windows 7 or Vienna).
Longhorn was never released, and with the WinFS removed people wherent expecting much from it.
Bill Gates's words?
I dont think that the world is ready for it.
Pffffft!!!

Lets face it, Microsoft's days have had it, Bring in Runecats!

by **Dojan5** Sat Jun 14 2008, 18:17

APPLE!!

by Hiko Sat Jun 14 2008, 18:18

i prefer XP over Vista

mostly cause of the games, and that the Vista MS PAINT lies when you choose a colour

by **Support** Sat Jun 14 2008, 18:19

Come on Dojan Runecats + K-Designs for world domination, me will make XP look like pee!

vista mspaint is very un-different to xp with a few extra features so it's still better.
but yet again i don't like Microsoft.

by **Dojan5** Sat Jun 14 2008, 18:24

Not all differences are to the better.
But i think that Vista MS paint look somewhat similar to the one in 3.1

by Hiko Sat Jun 14 2008, 18:26

Yeah.. But it's stupid, i select red, it gives you practically a pink, dark brown is light brown.. ugh.

by **Support** Sat Jun 14 2008, 18:27

I have noticed the brown.

but i like the fact you can zoom further and can undo further.
