Vista Novice: Some experience basics of installing Vitsa

Since the end of last October to buy a new machine began to play "legendary" Vista, the beginning of the surprise, "WOW" over, but also depressed, annoyed, and even gave up Vista, Hate Vista. But now is gradually deepening, adapt to Vista, like Vista, and now a little love vista ...

In the months that use Vista, I've summed up some useful experiences with new Vista comrades, of course, not to mention sharing. If you have a better idea, please leave a message.

1. Personally feel the best to be able to dial the installation, from the hard disk installed without CD-ROM installation fast, it is obvious in the "Copy file" that step, the CD-ROM brush is completed, hard drive to be slower. This is different from the XP era of ghost (one key ghost V11), hard drive installed faster (of course, if your CD-ROM and CD-ROM, then there is no way).

And the shutdown installation has more selectivity, such as the format of the system disk and so on. But if you can't get the disc mounted, it's only installed from the hard drive.

2. The system has its own network card driver to identify the network card, but it is recommended to use the motherboard CD-ROM to update the driver, it is best to go to their own motherboard to see if there is a new vista driver. When I installed, I found that the network card driver is easy to cause blue screen (ie ndis.sys blue screen), especially when using some peer-to-peer software (such as Donkey emule verycd, bt download BitComet (bit comet)).

3. Sometimes vista's own drive can be installed with the video card and sound card driver, as above, it is recommended to manually reinstall the driver.

4. Find the desktop on a recycle Bin, no other icon, then you should be in the desktop space--right--personalized---the top left corner of the "Change Desktop Icon" in the selection.

5. Activation: Brand machine users (pre-installed Home Basic version) can be directly upgraded to U version, the simple way is to download a brand of your own version of the U-plate, after the installation is directly genuine.

or install the MSDN version (with 5 versions), and then use the Import certificate method: Click the Start menu, select All Programs > accessories, right-click Command Prompt, select Run as Administrator, and confirm the pop-up security prompts.

To execute a command at a command prompt: SLMGR.VBS-ILC < certificate path >oemcert.xrm-ms

(Example: Slmgr.vbs-ilc c:\delloem\dell.xrm-ms)

See if Vista is active. If the BIOS is correct, it should be activated. Certificate can go online search, a lot of.

Normal non-OEM users can modify BIOS activation, but it is not recommended to brush the BIOS with SOFTMOD4.8 soft activation, no risk. OEM users should not use that software to activate, of course, if your machine can run. I found that the Homebasic version has fewer features (no 3D windows and Media Center, and so on), and is not a good user for hardware conditions.

6. Compatibility software: Player feel with the Storm audio (the latest storm audio and video V3.3 version) better, listening to music with thousands of listening (Ttplayer) V5.1.0 (System with the media Player 11 more of the memory), decompression software these will not speak. Input method feel or use Sogou it! Acura Wubi has holes in Vista.

Vista with Ie7.0ie7 essential Plug-ins Ie7pro V2.1 The first time to use the Internet to remember to install Flash playback control (casually find a need to play flash site, such as QQ show, IE will prompt you to install the control).

The almost-common software is much more compatible with Vista, not as alarmist as the internet says. And there are a lot of Web sites to provide Vista compatible software downloads, their concern under the incompatible software has not been updated.

7. Antivirus software: Kaspersky in Vista will default installation of a Kabbah (Kaspersky (Kaspersky) Internet Security Suite V7.0) research and development of the network protocol (see for yourself), in the local connection properties can be seen, it is recommended to uninstall it, it is said that the protocol and Peer-to-peer Software conflict, will lead to blue screen.

If use Kabbah words also suggest to use 7.0, in fact 6.0 more Occupy memory. Of course, Norton (Norton Antivirus 2008) and NOD32 (NOD32 Antivirus V2.70.39) are also good. The small memory should not be installed on the top of the. Choose other, such as domestic killing soft, such as rising and Jinshan poison Pa.

8. It is recommended to shut down the system hibernation, which can give you the capacity to save memory size!

Close mode: Enter in the Start menu--"CMD"--right button (remember is right button!!) ---"Run as Administrator"---Enter in cmd-"powercfg-h off" (The contents of quotes, powercfg and-H are spaces ...). ---then enter the car and turn it off.

9. Landscaping: Vista Optimization Master This software provides a lot of landscaping features, we have to think about it. Vista's Dream Desktop recommends memory for small users to forget.

10. Open glass effects (provided that the homeprofessional version, commercial or U version and your graphics support AERO effect): Desktop Right---personalized---color and appearance of the choice of "WINDOWS AERO", you can!

Some integrated graphics can also have aero effects, like my ATI-1250. And very smooth, of course, you have to have more than 2G of memory.

11. System Restore: This feature is recommended for retention (if you have sufficient hard disk space), sometimes system Restore is very useful.

12. Theme Cracking: Vista optimization master has a theme cracking function, but the current only valid for Vista, do not use in the Vista SP1, otherwise the system crashes ~ on the internet has to crack the SP1 of the topic of the method, here do not speak.

13. Use "SystemInfo", "SFC", "MSCONFIG" and other orders.

14. If there is a camera, note that the first can not plug in, should first install drive CD-ROM installation drive, restart after the camera can be automatically installed on the drive. I did that, maybe not the same camera method will be different. Also, it is best to go to the webcam official website to see if there is a driver update (for Vista).

15. About cracking the maximum number of TCP/IP links, I generally do not modify, I this 2M bandwidth, found that the same before and after cracking. Note that SP1 users can not use the Vista optimization master to crack the number of TCP/IP, or after the boot appears. Tcp / ip. SYS "Then I will congratulate you!"

16. Recommended taskbar properties in the Start menu remember to "Store and show ..." File list "Do not tick, hehe, why not say it."

The Start menu customization can be displayed according to your favorite settings. These are all in XP.

17. Transfer virtual memory to a non-system disk. This method has a tutorial online, Baidu A search on a lot of ...

18. It is not recommended to close UAC, although that is annoying, but Vista is so, accustomed to do not feel, but also contribute to system security. It's really not a habit to turn it off in the control Panel.

19. Upgrade Vista SP1. Although SP1 before the release of the news that SP1 not much improvement, and the news that many of the comrades on the XP front has launched a lot of XP SP3 and Vista SP1 comparison. No matter what, two are worth looking forward to, not a stick to kill, right? and SP1 stability, compatibility, system operation efficiency and so on are improved.

About the upgrade SP1 method recommend online update, let the system update automatically.

20. Need to upgrade from XP to Vista: On this issue, we are uncompromising, I think it depends on the actual situation. If you buy a new machine, and the hardware configuration is good enough to install Vista system, choose Vista, after all, this is a trend. If, after all, your hardware is laborious, and the interface effect is not so much care, then adhere to the practical XP system well, at least in the next year or two, I think XP will not perish.
