Junerian Posted February 19, 2007 Author CID Share Posted February 19, 2007 As far as I know you can't make them smaller but I havn't experimented much with that type of stuff yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted February 19, 2007 CID Share Posted February 19, 2007 I agree with Junerian.. Vista is a major improvement over XP. It actually runs faster than XP in everything it does. Anyone that says you have to have buy a brand new computer to run Vista are complete retards. If you bought anything other than a "value" computer Vista should run fine. Also, Ultimate is way cool. Has anyone tried DreamScene yet? So bad ass... calling people " retards " shows your level of maturity, which would lead me to question the validity of your opinion of vista. Besides , alot of people's mommies dont buy them new boxs for xmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides , alot of people's mommies dont buy them new boxs for xmas. Agreed. Besides, I'm the one who bough my mommy a box for xmas Yeah, I do (or rather did) have too much money. For the box quality, my 2.5 y/o high-end dell laptop doesn't have the video card to run aero, and I can't upgrade it. And since people usually keep their computers more than 2 years, well yeah, many people would indeed need a new box to run it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing that bugs me is that to install some programs, I always have to right-click and select "run as administrator". There's a bit too much security sometimes.

Spook63 Posted February 20, 2007 CID Share Posted February 20, 2007 oh does anyone know how to make the desktop icons smaller....i mean a lot smaller..they are huge...the only setting i can find for this is the advanced setting in display properties & i have it all the way down to 16 as far as it will go & it barely made any difference.... Have you tried this: Right click on desktop, click View, then choose Classic Icons. There about the same size as the small ones in XP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

granpa Posted February 21, 2007 CID Share Posted February 21, 2007 Nice motto. I still havent gotten my mom to understand the difference between right click and left click. I wouldn't worry about that, my wife still has to look at her hands if you tell her to turn right or left, luckily the grandkids will point for her. Now I know why she picks them up so much.

Why fight it. XP has been out for over 5 years now and MS has stopped support for Windows 98, Windows Me, and Windows XP Service Pack 1. Check out the official MS policy: http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?LN=en-us&x=14&y=12. I feel XP slowly slipping into the grave. So come and jump on the band wagon, and let's all enjoy a Coke and a smile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
