Changed your mind pretty quickly... :

 

[Hitterman]

Iam not sure when i will upgrade. May be after 2 or 3 years

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

Can't you stick on one side hitterman? Its quite....... you know what.

 

[Abhas]

Yeah, You're looking for best of 2 worlds, yet you're living in a third world altogether..

I agree with Harrypotter. Having a shot at Vista when buying a new PC or laptop is way better than trying to upgrade your current PC's OS to Vista. And for the Vista looks, you have Windows Blinds and the other softwares to simulate the theme/look, etc.

I got a similar laptop to that of Harrypotter (in fact I have 256MB video RAM) and Vista is a breeze on it (more so after the SP1 update).

@ Kshitz or @ Abhas: Do you guys know on how to disable the "Administrator permission" thing that comes up whenever you open a program or an unidentified program? I dont mind it, but it would be a more better experience for me if I could disable it. I heard Kev saying somewhere that it can be disabled.

open start menu, type msconfig, press enter

in the system configuration window, click on the 'Tools' tab.

scroll down, and there will be an option saying : Disable UAC.
select that, and click on launch.

then click OK.

There you go.. u're rid of that annoying feature

You might have to restart the system after that.

Also, if you ever want it back (can't imagine why ), there is the option of Enable UAC in the same window

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

Or you could just go to the control panel, switch to classic view, go to users and groups, and then turn off UAC from there.

 

[Hitterman]

Is vista has virtual memory thing?

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

What? Please be a bit more elaborate.

 

[Hitterman]

But in 98 i cannot see any option of virtual memory settings.

 

[Abhas]

It was very much there... havn't seen 98 for a while now, so cant really help you where it can be found...

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

You don't need to tinker with it hitterman....

btw, Didn't you just say that xp is the best and ...., then why bother with 98?
