Microsoft Vista Experience lieometer is 5.2 out of 5.9
Microsoft User Access Control TURNED OFF!!!
(Antivirus Not installed Yet was before complete system wipe, Kapersky Internet Security)
SOOOOO Now that the list is there, My equipment under XP Pro 64-bit RAN Perfect!!, Running Vista 32-bit is fine. (But wont use the 8GB of RAM and WAY to slow when working with RAW NEF format files or compiling AVHCD formats)
Now the problem lays with installing any program with Vista 64-bit takes anywhere from 45 min to an hour! Dreamweaver CS3 took just over an hour!
Problem one, I can only do one thing at a time IF I TRY to do anything more than one task at a time the computer slows down to a snails pace, cpu utilizations shows one core is at 35% while the other core is 7%. And Always if I try to click on a folder, program or any function it says NOT RESPONDING. Gives me that wonderfull Microsoft message program not responding would you like to close program or wait for it to respond, I click the latter and wait. Sometimes 3-5 min other time 10-15 min.
Thats it, I cant do anything without MS throwing a coneption fit on me, and telling me its not responding. Boot up takes anywhere from 7 to 10 min deppending on what it feels like doing and shut down is about the same. XP Pro 64-bit less than two min either way.
Soooim confused whats the problem, Ive installed the Nvidia Drivers from the Nvidia downloads for Vista 64-bit, same for the video, no missing device drivers.
Everything works just painfully slow. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!
PS I ahve also tried to download all 93 Windows Vista Updates... Still to NO surprise no change
