So far I have successfully been able to solve all of my Vista issues ! (pats self on back) I reduced my base ram usage by 512mb and I still have the cool alt tab thing. I also was able to make my new anti-virus Kaspersky not interfere with gaming or steam downloads. I recently made a rough background for Napalm Riot which can be located under the New Logos thread. I accidentally merged all visible layers and didn't realize till later on. I made sure my computer was recognizing both cards. This has increased my performance significantly. Right now I'm playing around with my Motherboard Control thing AI Suite which allows me to do a considerable amount of cool stuff. Although I still have some issues like whenever I kill someone in TF2 and it goes to the kill cam the screen flashes like mad >.<. and whenever I boot up Photoshop (CS3) it QQ's to me that I need to calibrate my monitor. I think that means so that things will print the same as they look on the screen although I'm not entirely sure. As soon as I find my DS I'm going to obtain via internet the Kingdom Hearts game for DS. Although this is the JP version Kingdom hearts has never really been text intensive and with my basic understanding of Japanese and a translation guide I should do fine. I couldn't find it earlier because like many JP games the English title is significantly different. I'm currently enjoying a 4 day weekend which I'm spending mainly playing games most of my friends are away skiing or whatever so really there isn't much to do. For those who play WoW I would like to announce that my alt Priest is almost 63! I took a break from leveling him and subsequently all the people I was leveling with are now 70. So I demand they halp me :P!

    To admit I couldn't really help you with calibration or the issues mentioned above. But agreed: a 4days "long" weekend when friends go skiing is the best for playing games or tidy up or sth you wouldn't do if they were there for you to go out or drink sth together. hihi

    Have a great time!! :)

        ugh.. failure... Now I feel stupid... oh well.. I'm gonna do some in-depth playing with some of these options, cause I'd like my overall viewing quality to improve a bit.. just a bit..

        What level of Vista are you operating on? I've got Premium and I'm not sure how it compares with Ultimate. I know it's FFFAAARRRR better then basic though!!!

          I have Home Premium 32 Bit, idk what Ultimate has, I might look it up on wikipedia though because I'm moderately curious.

            well.. the vista chart goes something along these lines:

            basic
            premium
            business
            ultimate

            business operates a little differently then the other three in that it's set up to put all it's power into office type programs. Word, power-point, etc... you get the drift... when it puts its power into something though, you know it's got something over a regular desktop...
