| 605089 | 2007-10-25 03:25:00 | Hi they say a picture (nigel.geek.nz)is worth a thousand words, unfortunately I couldn't come up with a thousand expletives I'm pretty sure this isn't right, i gave up after waiting 10mins, and copied the info to my second harddrive that only took a minute or so This is going to be a real problem so if anyone has any useful suggestions i would appreciate it edit------- for some reason I'm getting a 403 error on the image, if you get a 403 error just press refresh |

| 605090 | 2007-10-25 03:37:00 | Youre right that link doesnt work in the latest version of FF. Even if I refresh the screen. BUT, works in IE. Altho, I read recently FF 2.0.0.8, screws Java and Flash up (www.crn.com) ie: If u use the WGA plugin in FF 2.0.0.8, a few people said it doesnt work. I tried it, it doesnt work. I see another update just came out for Vista yesterday (support.microsoft.com) It may or may not help. |

| 605091 | 2007-10-25 03:41:00 | I've changed the link now, it now points to an html page rather than the jpg I had issues with all three main browsers, but i am completely up to date as far as vista is concerned |

| 605092 | 2007-10-25 03:49:00 | Now now, wait. This is a problem with Vista's ability or lack thereof to correctly calculate the time it takes to do things like copying/moving files. It will be fixed in SP1 (its very high on the list) and I think you can also get a patch straight from Windows' KB to fix that problem now. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 605093 | 2007-10-25 03:51:00 | I have noticed vista can be very slow copying things. I do not know why. I heard there was a bugfix was released where deleting items or emptying the recycle bin or something took a lot longer than it should. Maybe it's a similar problem? |

Thanks for that It did seem to take a a while probably less than the 10 minutes i said earlier, (can't be completely accurate as i was trying to get my clock to synch at the same time, blasted firewall) I might try again and see how long it takes, although not right now as they are serving rhubarb and apple crumble and i'm going to get me a piece hm normally when you mention rhubarb Bruce Buckman appears |

| 605095 | 2007-10-25 04:05:00 | Yep, vista is slower than Xp, but there is one thing you can try - its worked for me a couple of times, just had to locate the article again - ( Knew I should have saved it) so I didn't have to write it out:D Try This: Vista gives you a option to set the drive up for quick removal with advanced protection, or sheer performance. These options can be accessed: (Right click) my computer >> Manage >> Storage > Disk Management >> ( may install a snap in at this time, takes a few seconds) Right click on the USB Device >> Properties >> Hardware>>Properties>>Policies. You have two choices See Here for Choices (www.imagef1.net.nz) Select Enable Advanced Performance. Should speed it up. Update: Just timed it with a 85.7 Mb file(s) 35 seconds normal - 25 Seconds on advanced. OPPS, Pic I showed was the Hard Drive, meant to be the flash drive, same settings The USB drive is a high speed USB Jetflash Vista Ready Boast Drive. rhubarb and apple crumble Hmmmmm Yummmmy |

| 605098 | 2007-10-25 05:32:00 | Ok, I just moved about 800MB worth of video files to my U3 from my Vista laptop. Took about 3-5 mins or so. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
