620668 2007-12-13 01:08:00 The first time I installed it (Premium) it was 7.05GB.
Vlite and I have it down to 3.30GB.

Of course my XP is only 1.5GB but its a massive improvement.
Yay for Vlite!! Must give them a donation.

It found all drivers for me without even asking, I was surprised to find.

Even got ZA working.

Oh and don't bother with TweakVista, TweakVI is better.

Installed Nero 7 and it works - although I only installed the base burning part - not all the other clutter.
Now, to go try some more old apps and see what happens.

All its nag stuff doesn't exist now, inc program compatibility so that should keep me busy till home time.

I like how I didn't have to find my printer's drivers. Vista did it all for me.

620670 2007-12-13 02:20:00 Vista's built in driver support is very good. Especially for older hardware. wratterus (105)

620672 2007-12-13 03:03:00 Have you found something to do with UAC? Thats the only thing I really couldnt understand - other than Microsoft changing utilities and folder's names for no apparent reason. Enigmur (10547)
620673 2007-12-13 03:05:00 Hi pctek. Can I ask what printer you are using? I have a three-four year old hp scanjet 2400 which Vista does not like. My look at the HP did not help with drivers. I had the same problem with an older hp printer when I moved from 98 t0o XP. Scouse (83)
620674 2007-12-13 04:15:00 HP Business Inkjet 1000

Bet it wouldn't like my at home HP 710c.

The thing to do with UAC is kill it.

BTW I take back the bit about ZA, it crapped out and I've had to resort to Commodo.
I really don't like Commodo.

Old 16bit game, working fine.
