Description True Vista

YahoOo!! Now I'm Using Windows Vista Ultimate!

I never thought that my PC Specs can run smoothly w/ Windows Vista Ultimate..
though im using Vista Basic Theme for it coz of my Video Card issue..
but hey, its Real Windows Vista..
All are going smooth.. All drivers Managed to run!

If u wanna know my specs.. Look at that preview..
U cant imagine how it runs smooth on that PC
But so far It runs smoothly as my previous Windows XP..
I also play Counter-Strike 1.6 on it
Havent found any problem "yet"

Thanks for the view! Feel free to comment.

Thats very nice Yethzart! Maybe you can force DWM on your Vista. Try this

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DWM]
"UseAlternateButtons"=dword:00000000
"Blur"=dword:00000001
"Animations"=dword:00000001
"Glass"=dword:00000001
"AnimationsShiftKey"=dword:00000001

As for SP1 theres a reg hack that I cant share with you over here at D.A cuz its not legal but maybe WinMatrix can help you.

Go VISTA! I'm still on XP... but I do have Vista installed on a hard drive I resurrected to see if I would like it... but since I have SO much stuff including the business that I run, switching completely over to Vista would be a major undertaking, one that I don't really want to do just yet...

But my computer is fully capable of doing it. Here are my specs:
Asus P5LD2 motherboard
2.6 P4 processor
2560 MB DDR2 memory
256 MB ATI All-In-Wonder video card
500 gig main hard HD
80 gig secondary HD
40 gig 3rd drive (which has Vista installed on it)
1 DVD+R/DVD DL/CDRW/CDR burner
1 DVD-ROM/CDR/CDRW Burner

WOW! thats what i called a real PC
that's why u can make a very nice and high quality graphics, coz u have powerfull PC..
on my part when i tried to make complex graphics on Photoshop, my pc getting slow, cant do a lot on it..
Wish i can have a power pc like yours.. but i dont have a job right now, maybe additional RAM will do..
if someone can give me an 1GB SDRAM PC133 for my IBM Thinkpad T23, that would be awesome.. Heheh.
so nice that u have ur own biznes, keep it up and take care always..

ya - I have pieced it together over the past couple of years... Before this one I was running a 566 MHz (yes, 566 MEGA-hertz, Pentium III). It was beyond painful. I had it maxed out a 128 MB SDRAM and a 40 gig hard drive (the same drive Vista is now installed on). I went to reinstall XP and I only had the upgrade version. I got halfway through and it crashed. When I went to restart the install process, it wouldn't install because it couldn't find a previous version of windows needed for the "upgrade"...

So to make a long story short, I visited the electronics store to get a FULL version of XP and walked out with a new case, motherboard, processor and enough RAM to get me started. I think I also purchased a the 80 gig drive at that time too. Cost me just short of $400. I already had the 40 gig drive a CD-R and the DVD-ROM/CD-R. Plus I used my existing monito, keyboard and mouse. Everything else has come as I needed and or could afford it. The next thing to comeis a faster processor... but it runs pretty good as is. The RAM is the key. More RAM makes all the difference in the world...

I had some some DDR memory sitting around but that won't work for you. If I had some spare memory I would send it your way...

deskmundo In reply to yethzart [2008-02-15 15:15:38 +0000 UTC]

The Windows Upadate is very
important because some errors improves the view, and thus makes it much better!

You're not being very clear. Did you look in Themes? Or Window Colour and Appearance? Because in themes, it'll only say Windows Vista or Windows Classic. In Window Colour and Appearance, it'll Display all the skins...

Well, Vista RTM is Build 6.0.6000 and you can only update to SP1 if you're a MSDN member or a TechNet member. And they both cost some money... Or you can wait till March. Vista SP1 would be a nice Birthday Present (for me anyway)

The Vista SP1 is already available to some members of the Microsoft. In March he will already be available (well, until you get here to Brazil will take a bit ).

You can smoothen its working more by stopping some of the automatic startup services, which are usually not necessary.

My crap PC (with onboard 32MB S3 ProsavageDDR) graphics also runs Vista Ultimate, but not that smooth, it works the same as XP would run on any 4 year old machine with 128 SDRAM. My PC also has 768MB SDRAM, with an old P4 1.7GHz Processor...in short a 4 year old PC!! I was also surprised to see that actually fulfilling Vista's minimal system requirements, it can actually run on any PC, and that too the Ultimate version!! I have made a conclusion that the smooth running of Vista depends totally on a good processor, which I don't have!!

Anyways, its good that you have actually tried your hand Vista off late...check out the screenshot of my crappy PC running Vista Ultimate 32-bit...in my gallery offcourse!!
