as for the first question, its maybe because of the graphic driver.. u need to get an updated one from ATI website (for vista)Originally posted by ChairmanJay:I just installed Vista Ultimate a few days back, and I had encountered many problems. I'm running on a MSI 478 mobo, p4 3ghz processor, radeon powercolour x700 pro, 512(256 x 2) ram.
I'm having some problem when I'm playing NFS: Carbon. Firstly, it takes very long (approx~1min) to load a game. Worst of all, the graphic sometimes hangs during the game/race, for eg, there are no roads in front then it hanged for serveral sec.
So is it the problem with my ram, or my grahpic card or vista ultimate(which I heard the min required ram is 1gb)?
or should i go back vista home basic(min require is 512)?
its true only if enable all nice interface..eg aero.. dreamscene.. if u disable ,minimum can go is 300mb+/-Originally posted by FireIce:vista is ram-sucker....
not enuf ram, dun even think about vista..........
there's no need to downgrade. its no difference.... after all, u can disable nice GUI and having the same interface as home vista home basic, but however the functionality is more than basicThe differences between the 5 versions of Vista are huge. You can turn off the features in better versions, but you can't turn on a feature in basic. That's the caveat.

28MB of RAM can run DOS.Originally posted by hloc:You should change back to WinXP for the time being...... still got many many problem with Vista. It need too much Ram to run well and then still have drivers problem for the next few mths. Creative & Nivida both say they have not come out with a good driver yet for the time being...... some drivers are only in Beta.
One Tech website I read, say that Vista will run slower than XP with 1GB of ram...... about the same speed with 2GB. Will only be faster with 3GB onwards. Since Most M/B only have 4 Ram slot.... most ppl can only upgrade to 4GB for the time being.

What Vista disc did you use? Upgrade disc or did you do a clean install?Originally posted by ChairmanJay:now my com can't seem to boot the windows xp cd.... hmmm?
clean... how to uninstall vista? can explain to me in simple term ms mayi?Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:What Vista disc did you use? Upgrade disc or did you do a clean install?
For upgrade disc, you will have to remove Vista before loading XP.
If you use the retail version of Vista (not upgrade disc), uninstall Vista, then install XP.

During the installation of Windows, something probably went wrong.Originally posted by ChairmanJay:EDIT: i used another disc called Microsoft XP Home N Edition, it's able to boot up the com however, after the blue screen saying windows is starting up, it says
STOP: C0000221 Unknow hard Error
\Systemroot\system32\ntdll.dll
28MB of RAM can run DOS.Thats the scary part..... use up about 1GB of RAM just to run Vista.... what happen if i need to run Photoshop or Ulead Video Studio
Anyway, XP can run on 64MB of RAM. Just that it will crawl like turtle. Try it.
firstly i can tell u that u cannot uninstall vista. or downgrade it.Originally posted by ChairmanJay:clean... how to uninstall vista? can explain to me in simple term ms mayi?![]()
