Well, if you don't mind downloading ~2.5GB and a bit of a wait, you can use the torrent here, and let it run overnight.

Being built eh? How long does it take :O

Well I bought the parts from Preston, including the widescreen monitor, which all then had to be shipped back to Chesterfield, and the graphics card was delayed so my bf went in and complained and they gave me the better one up at no extra cost, so I got all that, now I'm waiting on RAM and a keyboard and mouse... and then vista lol.

by **Zantinzuken** » Sun Aug 05, 07 10:43 pm

Wait for the hardware errors, then the building process will be complete! ;D

lol @ this - Speech recognition sucks.

I remember seeing that! A year ago. I can't believe Microsoft said it was because of "ambient sound".

"Dear Aunt, let's set so double the killer.."

:lol:

On a different note, WHO DARED TO CLEAN MY TOPIC!?

I'm configuring the new computer for my dad and it's running Vista by default. I'm first time on Vista and what I can say so far is that it has a definitely neat interface and all these widgets, giant icons and fading aren't annoying at all, despite what many people say. There are some stupid things like that window ("profile management" or whatever?) which pop ups each time you launch an application, but it's easy to disable.

The only question, is it possible to resize widgets? Because I can see only like 2 first words of headlines on Google News.

by **Kaiden** » Sun Aug 26, 07 1:14 am

Err, you can try dragging it out of the SideBar and placing it in the middle of your Desktop? Or try clicking on the "Settings" button next to each Gadget when you highlight it.

by **Dae** » Sun Aug 26, 07 8:13 am

Dragging it out of sidewar helps, but the widget is still too small. There is no sizing option in "Settings"

by **Spiderbot01** » Sun Aug 26, 07 9:26 am

How do I make fucking icons smaller.

by **Professor Layton** » Sun Aug 26, 07 9:27 am

Planning on getting a new computer soon, and I think I'll just go for dual boot or XP at first. Vista would have problems running older games, which I play quite often. I assume the actual need for Vista, which is when games come out which only work on Vista, won't be within 1 years so I'm thinking whether I should buy it for now or not.

I won't need it any time soon, but if I can buy both Vista and XP with the computer I might be able to get that OEM discount (windows vista is much more payable if you buy it together with a computer, as the price decreases a lot then)

get a fucking widescreen

by **Kaiden** » Sun Aug 26, 07 3:22 pm

Something in settings I expect, the new icons make your screen look bigger. :lol:

I'm guessing some Gadget's down have a re-size thing then. =(

Clix

Some games I have noticed don't "Seem" to work. It told me Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction isn't compatible, but it seems to work fine. If you play a lot of old school games you wanna be careful.

by **Tonnochi** » Mon Sep 24, 07 10:48 pm

I just got my new PC today. I CANNOT POSSIBLY DEAL WITH THIS SHIT UNTIL THE SERVICE PACK. I NEED THIS ABOMINATION OFF MY PC.

Use your fucking mouse.

by **Kaiden** » Tue Sep 25, 07 12:36 am

Or press like Ctrl+Scroll out or something.

[FGS]Zeitgeist

No! Vista is good, you just need to know how to use it lol. If your insistance on editing random system files/playing billions of games, it may not be perfect for you. :roll:

by **Alex** » Tue Sep 25, 07 8:13 am

I have to say, I actually like Vista, BUT IT'S JUST SOO FUCKING SLOW. IT REQUIRES TOO MUCH RAM.

by **ynnaD** » Tue Sep 25, 07 2:39 pm

We can get Vista at a discounted price at our school
