It's probably an ATI problem, if I had to guess, though Adobe's software stinks pretty bad, too (regardless of OS.) ATI and NVidia both had pretty awful support for Vista at first, though they've both gotten quite a bit better this year. I really don't know why they didn't actually start serious ports of their drivers until after Vista was released, though. That was pretty dumb. It's not like they didn't have time... Vista was in the works for 6 years and the driver interface was well known for most of that time. It was even in beta for nearly a year. More than plenty of time to get drivers ready. Of course, they're Vista support still isn't as bad as their Linux support. John,

I've been working (or trying to work) with Ableton on Vista for a while and have been experiencing horrible issues with clipping and such with the audio. Great! Some stuff in Vista is terrible, for instance with the very commonly used ATI Video Cards, when you upgrade the RAM (like I did) going into full screen mode with flash applications causes the screen to crash! WTF VISTA?!?!?! Can't wait until some upgrades come out. THANKS!

If you are like me and can only afford one computer for both work and play, turning off the search feature also disables a number of nice search functions in the latest office package, which I find myself using quite often.I thought maybe it could just be disabled for a specific recording hardware profile but Vista has kindly removed access to this feature. If anyone knows how to create and use multiple hardware profiles on Vista, please kindly share. I have one issue regarding completely disabling the windows search feature.

Finally, after living with Vista going slooow. Disabling suoerfetch solved the problem. Before, on boot-up the computer would be virtually paralysed for about 15 minutes, with very little processor use shown. Now, disabling superfetch, things are almost as good as they were with XP.

Thank you North W. I was rendering the video when I was doing super fetch. It was going so slow because it was rendering while the hard drive was doing its stupid daily churning. As soo as I type in stop surper fetch and hit enter and got the mesaage that it was done. The hard drive speed up instantly. Let's hope my churning day is over. Thanks again for the tip Wow.

open up a command prompt, type ‘net stop superfetch’, and press enter. (you’ll probably need admin privileges).

It’s probably not superfetch that’s at fault (but disabling it could be a good experiment). I’d make an educated guess that it’s a driver issue, but of course I can’t be sure. good luck!

when you open up the command prompt, open it by right clicking on the cmd.exe file, and select ‘run as administrator’ from the right click menu. You will have to go through the UAC dialog bs.
after doing this, you’ll have a cmd window which *actually* has system admin rights. Even though you are already the sys-admin, you still have to do this… Confused? you should be.

everythin runs faster now , only problem i found so far is when i start winwos, takes longer , something makes my computer think a lot after boot
sablet on October 25, 2006 09:48 AM
Hi Jeff,
There is a way to disable superfetch in vista by setting the following registry key to a value of “0″:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters\EnableSuperfetch
A value of 1 prefetches boot processes, 2 prefetches applications and 3 is for both.
They should have given the option to turn this setting off in the computer management mmc but that works.
Mario on October 26, 2006 02:46 PM
mmm was guessin that it turned on by itself after boot

i do not know if it works, so do not ask, but if you could try it and let me know the results that would be appreciated…
send any results to wiebenor_3@yahoo.com…. hope this works and speeds up your computer, if not, well, i tried…
see tou,
north w.
also, some of you more technical people may be able to figure out what might be wrong, as the person that tried this on the other website said that it didn’t work
