    I'm so frustrated with this WOW Vista OS.. I have: P4 3,2 GHz 1GB Kingston HyperX DDR400 Asus P4 C-800 Deluxe GeForce 6600 GT 2 SATA Hard disks in RAID0 Mode.. Could someoone please explain why do I have 2 Sidebar processes while runing that stupid Vista sidebar. One of them is taking 28 MB and the second 36 MB of my system memory. Also, very often that same Vista WOW Sidebar takes 50% of my CPU time.. I'm so frustrated that I'm one step from returning back to XP. I'll leave the famous WOW for some other people with milder temper..

    Two of the buzzwords surrounding the launch of Microsoft's Windows Vista Operating System are SuperFetch and, perhaps more prominently, ReadyBoost. Tom's Hardware Guide examines and benchmarks both of these additions to the OS to see if they actually do improve performance at all. Read all their findings here

    During Acrobat Reader 8.0 on Windows Vista you may get this error message: "The temp folder is on a drive that is full or is inaccessible. Free up space on the drive or verify that you have write permission on the Temp folder." What you need to do is leave the error message open when it comes up, then fire up an Explorer window and go to: C:/Users//appdata/LocalLow/Netopsystems/temp/ Copy the Acrobat Reader 8.0 folder to some other folder, and run the installer from there.

    Microsoft finally launches the long-awaited Windows Vista today, promising better security and improved search and claiming it will be the fastest ever adopted operating system it has released.

    As expected, Microsoft on Friday issued the second release candidate of Windows Vista - the last public build before the next-generation operating system is released to manufacturing. As with the interim build before it, RC2 will be available to a limited number of CPP participants, beta testers, as well as TechNet and MSDN subscribers. Full article and download link HERE. Will you guys try it? I'm just downloading it.. :punk:

    Recently my friend asked me for a valid serial for Vista RC1 so I've decided to open this topic.. If you wish to test Vista RC1 and all of the upcoming builds you should register here. and you'll be rewarded with a download link and a valid serial to use. Then you can try it out and tell us how much it rocks/sucks, depending on your expectations of what this OS is going to do for your work/productivity/marriage/sex life etc... :wacko:

    Any one who is running Vista RC1 should check out this site, Vista Scenario Voting has list of scenerios for vista and trails to see if people feel it is ready for RTM, run through as many as you can and give input back, this can help get the OS ready for RTM or get MS to fix things before RTM.
