Only a couple of years ago, desktop machines with 4GB of RAM were rare. Only high-end CAD designers and ultra-hardcore gaming enthusiasts were considering, let alone actually installing, 4GB of RAM in their machines. Today however, RAM is much less expensive, and system builders such as Dell or HP routinely offer the option to build a system with 4GB of RAM. Because of this, we are often asked why Windows Vista / Windows Server 2003 / Windows XP etc. only sees a portion of the installed memory. It is pretty common for a machine with 4GB of RAM to actually show between 3.1 and 3.6GB of RAM installed, although this number may actually be less depending on hardware. The screenshot below is from a Vista Ultimate RTM machine with 4GB of RAM installed - notice how much RAM is reported as being installed: It is important to understand that this is not really a problem with the OS, but is more hardware related. Let

I think you can if you install Vista RTM Sidebar for XP.

Now, that brings some memories..

Can you try with this tool, I hope it'll work for you.. http://keznews.com/2552_Vista_Oem_Activati...ol_Kit_0_5_Beta

Happy birthday Gorki, have a nice celebration bud.. :beerchug:

Yes, the problem has been resolved now..

Well, I tried to contact admin, but with no luck..I get the same error too. Anyway, welcome to WinCert..

I saw that page before, preety good idea, whoever made it. :thumb_yello:

Welcome DarkNite, we appreciate that you've decided to join. :thumb_yello:

The capacity of all hard drives are measured by the manufacturers using true SI (metric) nomenclature. In this system, there are 1000 units in a kilo, 1000 kilo in a mega, 1000 mega in a giga, and so forth. Computers, however, are not based onthe base-10 arithmetic the SI system is. As such, the binary approximations are 1024 units in a kilo, 1024 kilo in a mega, 1024 mega in a giga, and so forth. The net result of this discrepancy in systems is that anything counted in SI units will always be larger than if it were counted in computer units. For example, a 200GB hard drive is actually 200,000,000,000 bytes in size. In computer terms, this is 200,000,000,000/1024 = 195,312,500 kilobytes which is 195,312,500/1024 = 190,734 megabytes which is 190,734/1024 = 186 gigabyes. While it appears that 14 gigabytes dissappeared, nothing is actually is missing. Understanding that factor, if you find you cannot account for some of the space used on your hard-drive, realize there are hidden system files and folders which you, the user, normally cannot access. Among these are the Recycler and System Volume Information folders. (The former is where anything you delete is stored until you empty the Recycle Bin and the latter is where Windows keeps its files necessary for System Restore. Since these folders can get quite large over time, it is advisable that you empty the recycle bin and restrict the amount of space Windows is given for the System Restore function. Here's a small list of HD's and their real sizes: GB GiB 20 18.62645149 40 37.25290298 60 55.87935448 80 74.50580597 120 111.758709 160 149.0116119 200 186.2645149 250 232.8306437 320 298.0232239 500 465.6612873 750 698.491931 In fact you're "losing" roughly 7%.

To install an older Windows operating system on a computer running Windows Vista, use the following procedure. Install the previous version of Windows, e.g. XP or 2000 Log on to the older operating system and restore the latest boot manager by running the following. bootsect.exe -NT60 All bootsect.exe might be in your boot folder of active partition. If not there, then it's on your Vista DVD in boot folder. Create a BCD entry for the older operating system by specifying the following. Bcdedit.exe is located in the \Windows\System32 directory of the Windows Vista partition. Description is the description of the new entry for the older operating system. Bcdedit /create {legacy} /d

Yes, you can upload it, and after Rick checks it, he will decide whether that topic will be pinned or not.. Cheers and thx

I started with the testing of Eset Smart Security Beta application and have some problems with it. Limewire 4.12.6 and Cute FTP Pro 8.0.3 can't connect to the internet. Even though I enabled inbound and outbound traffic for both applications, they can't connect to the internet in filtering mode. When I disable the ESET Firewall, everything is OK. Source of this topic: http://www.wincert.net/index.php?option=co...iew&id=1252 Anyone else tested this app and had similiar of same issues as me, please share it here..

Jembal, can you please post your wallpaper in the wallpapers section of the forum.. Cheers.

It could be divx video or audio codecs. Try to uninstall codecs you have completely and install another one...

I have similar issue on Vista..

Agreed!

Ok, you're gettin the same error each time you try to run the setup? Is this CD nlited, have you check that cd isn't damaged?

I doubt that XP SP3 will be released in beta and I'm quite sure that Vista SP1 will be released before XP SP3, since Vista needs it more than XP

Correct, edit this code as you like, create oemlogo.bmp and copy it in the location specified in the code above. Now, copy and paste this code into notepad and save it as .reg file. Run the saved .reg file to merge this code into registry..

Well, it seems you tried everything except replacing the MBO. But don't understand that everything was working normally until you tried to attach DVD burner. After this action you have problems that you haven't had before? Is this MBO still under warranty?
