After Vista SP1 is installed

B

Bob Eyster

Well, I was hoping to see some improvements on the issues I have been having
but have NOT seen any.

With UAC active the internet is unexceptibally slow

Personal setting do not stick in Windows Explorer

For no reason when setting do stick they will revert back to defaults

So, upgrading to Vista SP1 has not fixed my issues. Was a waste of time

Agreed.

Agreed.

Agreed.

Agreed.

But you forgot the one about file manipulations taking just as long as ever.

Actually, from what I can tell, SP1 has in fact *introduced* new problems
rather than resolving the existing ones.

It might be a security program blocking the Registry change it needs to
make. A few, but not all, of the programs now doing this are:
Ad-aware's Ad-Watch
IBM Access Connections
Kaspersky
McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware
Norton AV
Spyware Blaster
Spybot> Tools> IE Tweaks
Spybot- Teatimer
Spysweeper
Spyware Doctor
Windows Defender
Zone Alarm (free) 6.5 Reported to be fixed in later versions.

In the case of Zone Alarm 6.5 or Norton 2007 it actually has to be
uninstalled. Make sure the Windows Firewall is turned on until you
reinstall Zone Alarm.

Boot into Safe Mode with Networking and try the change.

It is when the basic things that Vista does, it does worse than it's
decrepit progenitor XP.

Sure the browsers opens faster, but after that, not so great. And don't
even get me started about how ya'll destroyed a such a simple thing as a
file manager.

When 7zip can decompress and copy a file from a multi-volume rar
archive, faster than Explorer can just copy that same file, then you
know ya'll have got some problems.

So what you, a paid employee of MS, think, as compared to what consumers
of Vista think, doesn't really mean all that much, Mike.

But then again, you didn't even have the class to address the problems
mentioned by the Vista consumer who started this thread. You ignored
those problems, and changed the subject.

Nice way to build up good will with the consumers that ultimately pay
you! What business class did you learn to ignore consumers' legitimate
concerns?

I have neither of the above software. I use System Suite Pro 8 from VCOM.
Been using it for a couple of years now. With UAC active Vista has been slow
on my PC from day one, with or without System Suite.

OK - so on 3 machines with UAC I have no problem with my Internet download
speed.
UAC does not interfere with your downloads unless you are trying to do
something that requires admin privileges to run. So the basic process of
accessing a file via FTP or HTTP has no UAC involvement.

My Windows Explore remembers my preferences for size of icon, preview pane
on of off etc between application starts - is your problem something else?

This is what I did when I first install Vista but only I use Norton Save &
Restore---an off-spring of Ghost

I stand corrected about that. However it still doesn't dismiss the fact
that ignored the problems presented by the OP, and tried to change the
subject.

I didn't mention anything about downloads I said the internet. Surfing the
internet is slooow.

I will admit when I first presented this to this NG some users said they
didn't have any problems with Windows Explorer. When I do get changes to
stick, they will last for a week, maybe longer. Then when I open Windows
Explorer every thing will be set back to it's defaults. VERY FRUSTRATING.

As I said Internet access is not impacted by UAC unless you have components
on web sites that require Admin privileges to run. etc.
Browsing/surfing IS downloading pages of HTML by HTTP as per my previous
post. , and as I said UAC has no impact on this.
If you turn UAC off does your browsing speed increase measurably? Can you
prove this by appropriate testing (ensure to take into account all factors
such as caching etc)

Re: UAC

This is what I have been saying all along. When UAC is enabled internet is
unacceptable. With it disabled internet is normal. I have taken everything
into account. What makes the difference is enabling and disabling UAC. I
don't know how else to explain it.

IOWs, Vista doesn't play nicely with security software. I wonder why?

I noticed that OneCare wasn't on that list.

It couldn't be that MS is trying to sell there own security software to
consumers?

Is MS using UAC to sell OneCare?

Couldn't be!

Microsoft would NEVER use their OS to take over another market! That's
tin-foil hat thinking, I tell you! ;-)
