Blue_Ninja0 Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Obviously i didn't read the whole thread but did anyone around here have that damned Vista problem in which Vista can't remember the viewing settings of individual folders and changes them randomly once a day or something? I think i fixed it but only time will tell.
KKOB Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 Quote The fastest Windows Vista notebook we've tested this year is a Mac. Try that again: The fastest Windows Vista notebook we've tested this year--or for that matter, ever--is a Mac. Not a Dell, not a Toshiba, not even an Alienware. The $2419 (plus the price of a copy of Windows Vista, of course) MacBook Pro's PC WorldBench 6 Beta 2 score of 88 beats Gateway's E-265M by a single point, but the MacBook's score is far more impressive simply because Apple couldn't care less whether you run Windows. http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,136649-page,3-c,notebooks/article.html Now thats wow. . . *wait for the claim to get shot down by Jordan the cuddly*

If you take a look at the other laptops they reviewed, none except the HP have a T7700 processor for example, this chart is retarded. This is the same as me saying, Ok let's compare this car with a 600HP engine and this one with a 1000HP engine. Oh, the 1000HP car is faster!

I'd expect any laptop of those specs to perform pretty much the same, unless Apple are going round overclocking the things (which i seriously doubt, they'd loose the battery life claims). PC World posted that article and worded it that way for one reason, piss easy hits from Mac fans On another note, Vista has hit 88 Million copies shipped. Failure? Yeah, course...

Yeah, course... 88 Million, after like 9 months. I'd like to see the percentage of XP users who have upgraded to Vista in this time.

You make that sound like a bad figure. It's pretty great, thats 9 million every month; quite a few people.

It's double what XP shipped in the same time frame after launch. Sure the market has expanded since XP launched but it hasn't doubled in size.

Slaggis Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Why does WMP 11 give me a deeper bass with my speakers whilst iTunes make it sound a little "tinny"? Surely it shouldn't make a difference?
Sanchez Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 They probably have differences in the equalizer, otherwise it's just a difference in the mp3 decoder, although that seems unlikely.

chrizkerr2 Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 Can anyone tell me how to get pictures of Mpeg4 icons? I mean, look at this Just want them to have the same image as the others (If you see what I mean). Anyone know how to do it?
Sanchez Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 What codecs do you have installed? Installing FFDShow should solve all the problems.

I have combined community codec pack at the moment, I'll try FFDShow now! EDIT: Nevermind CCCP is FFDShow xD Whats annoying, is if I import them to Windows Movie Maker, the preview icons show up! Why can't I get them in Video section too
Sanchez Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 Yeah, i think it might be one of vista's quirks. I have a similar problem actually. http://www.soifall.net/uploader/uploads/grr.jpg The folders with "blank" icons are actually like the moyashimon thumbnails, they're either just black or just white when you go into the folder. A few months ago I had the exact same problem as you and it was solved when I installed CCCP and it worked. Maybe try reinstalling it? Good luck.
AshMat Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 My Vista Business edition won't activate and i've only got a few days left. I'm getting the error code: 0x800705B4 i think. i'll have to check next time it tries. I checked google. But it appears i have to do something after the time runs out, i kinda want a a solution before then.
McPhee Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 Phone Microsoft and tell them, they are usually pretty helpfull
Guest Stefkov Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 I don't know what I did last night but I seem to have made a second Desktop folder. I deleted this folder from my 'Stefan Kov' Folder. The contents were the same as what they were in the other folder which were the same. So I deleted the folder and My torrents worked fine, downloading to desktop, so I just checked by putting a picture onto my desktop. It created another Desktop folder back where the other one was. This is kind of irritating if anyone knows whats happened I'll be grateful.

Are you sure your activation code hasn't been used before or if it's a business activation number maybe its been used the maximum amount of times?
AshMat Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 This is bullshit, today it's decided to run out (Code: 0x800705B4) Now Vista is in Reduced Functionality Mode, and i can't find a bloody fix >:@ Fuck microsoft and fuck their "safety" bullshit.
AshMat Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 Think i've not tried that? I rang them at the guy t the other enbd said i needed some "Volume activation number" or something similar. I don't have these numbers, and if i do i don't have access to them. FUCK MICROSOFT UP THE FUCKING ASS
stev2604 Posted December 25, 2007 Posted December 25, 2007 I'm having a problem with Windows Media Player on my laptop, it only recognises my .avi files as audio files. I'm getting sound but no picture, anyone know what's wrong with it? EDIT: I didn't have Divx installed...
