I like how you're telling us how to make our systems faster, yet your CPU usage is at 70%+ the entire time...

[PCAnswersMagazine]

Hi Psythik, indeed we're using over 70% of the CPU, that's because we are screen capturing at the same time, it's rather CPU intensive. Without camtasia recording the screen it's not so bad.

This does not fix vista, it increases the performance you numbty!

[Bizzhatesme]

lol, you are projecting because you know I'm right, hence no actual argument, just an outburst lmao

fuck off

Or you could save yourself the trouble completely by buying and using a Mac.

right click, personalize, themes, then select windows vista and press apply and then ok.

Thanks Tanya. Regarding universal folder views "remember my settings" it is not working. when I open another windows explorer, it shows me ratings, genres and other columns I do not want. It didn't remember my settings. What am I missing? thanks.

too bad classic look, doesnt look so much as a remotely look alike, at best its a hybrid look between vsita and classic, but fails at both, that shoulda been corrected, also theres no xp look, vista sucks in fancy look, also still no customable look where you can draw the lines yourself

[ibpointless2]

I don't get why vista still support "classic look", its like if apple gave me the choice to run the look of MAC OS9 - why would i want to run a old look.
