good decision. Seriously though, i've tried vista on another partition about 5 times, each time i've given up. The problems you talk about are fixable, but tbh I really cant see one advantage of vista over xp.

I got perfect solution. No need to struggle with spybots or viruses or no need to spend money to update your hardware to be able run the newest windows releases enough well...

This system is better known as GNU/Linux and you got many many diffrent distribution to choose from. Personaly i recommend Ubuntu,Debian or Gentoo distrobutions.

Lightning's Minimizer should work for vista

This isnt universal solution but,

1. uninstall vista
2. install xp
3. install drivers
4. start playing.

+1 (step 1. Format C://)

Parent

dualinity 19 Aug 2008, 10:41
thats also the first step when vista installation is complete
Parent
▼
triflip 19 Aug 2008, 10:42
no because you can't format c: when vista is running :P
Parent
▼
dualinity 19 Aug 2008, 10:44
really? it's possible in XP so i figured would be the same for vista.
Parent
▼
triflip 19 Aug 2008, 10:46
also not posible in XP, or you must have installed it on another drive then C:

you'll get an "drive in use" error
Parent
▼
dualinity 19 Aug 2008, 10:48
actually, it is possible.
i have used xp's format and quick format on my windows drive multiple times before
Parent
▼
triflip 19 Aug 2008, 10:51
try it again, shouldn't be posible since windows keeps some files in use.

I never got it working, if you can tell me how so I can use it in my virus :D

i have always formated my drives trough windows. windows just prepared a dos format the next reboot :/

Parent

triflip 19 Aug 2008, 11:08
Ye it's posible with dos format on next reboot, but I want to have it done on the fly.

So I can make a program which looks like a game but when u click start it's starts formatting ur harddrive :D

I'm posible to format other drives but c: drive never worked :(
