Messadiah posted:I have a Sony Vaio laptop (VGN-FW230J) which came with Vista 64, in one of the Sony utilities I could specify it to only charge to 50% and then stop to preserve battery life since I have it plugged in a majority of the time. While I can't help you with your question, I'm wondering if that actually works?

fishmech posted:But that practically is all there is. Home Premium and Business/Pro are all the average person sees or uses. Noone sells Starter in the US, Home Basic practically only shows up on low-end computers that can't handle anything better, and Ultimate is basically the same thing as Plus! used to be, only incorporated into the OS instead of being a separate product. THe most versions of Windows you can reasonably expect to see on a shelf somewhere is 4: Home BAsic, Home Premium, Business, and Ultimate. And I think it's pretty obvious which is which, not to mention that most every store that sells windows has little booklets from Microsoft at the OS section that explain what the versions are, like they have for Office. OS X Server is not available to the general public at Best Buy. It's incredibly stupid and inconvenient to have so many different versions of Windows, they really should narrow it down to 2-3.

Sir Nigel posted:What is his setup like? Sounds like he's talking about a unibody Macbook Pro, he needs to make sure his friend has the latest nVidia drivers or else it'll run like poo poo. That's what happened to me and now it runs great in Win 7. Edit: For reference, this is what his WEI should look like if it is an MBP.

Sir Nigel posted:Somehow I don't think so. He's probably got some system off of some prebuilt site that has two 9800GTs or something. Well Hamelin named Apple and I assumed he meant for a Macbook, but I forgot he was talking about iTunes as well. Also I'm not wondering why that guy was using XP on a new machine with dual graphics cards. Why didn't he have Vista?

Piano posted:I might be slow/stupid, but bear with me. I was setting up a 3rd party dock today and I was like "oh, why not just pin every-god-drat-thing to the taskbar" and have the same basic functionality? Is that the whole intention of the pin function and I just completely missed it or is there a downside to having like 30 programs on there? That's pretty much it.

Fists Up posted:I'm having trouble installing Windows 7 on my laptop. Another thing to try is to disable Legacy USB support in the BIOS if it's enabled. Some Toshiba's are lame about it while doing certain things outside of a regular Windows install.
