Installing Vista - complete update of my rig

Saturday : 04 Aug '07 - 15:41 | damen default two comments, already

Because of the new hardware I got today I am now able to run Windows Vista in an acceptable manner.

I just installed the basic system, interesting enough I had undo some of the bios tweaks I've done over the past year which were no problem for windows XP. It looks like Vista is a little bit more naggy about this stuff, but now the system is running OK. I do not really like the fact that my experience score is 2.0 because of my video cart, I still have to work on that

Now the whole installing procedure starts, and I have to check that my hardware is running Ok because I'm running Vista in 64bit modus.

This is the software which is (gonna be) installed:

• Nvidia FX 5200 drivers for Vista x64
  
• Microsoft Live Messenger (and turn off the nagging messenger today popup)
  
• Microsoft Silverlight Alpha
  
• Daemon Tools (x64)
  
• 64-bit Firefox (Minefield)
  
• Driver for Genius Videocam Messenger
  
• avast! Antivirus Home edition - Vista x64
  
• Mozy client for online backup
  
• Putty SSH client - 64 bit
  
• Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.1
  
• Apple Quicktime with iTunes for Vista
  
• Vista Codec Pack
  
• Driver for Epson CX3600 - Scanner
  
• WinSCP - Secure copy using ssh encryption
  
• Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 64bit
  
• Acrobat 7.0
  
• OpenOffice.ORG
  
• Suunto Dive Manager
  
• Suunto drivers for Vista x64
  
• Screenshot capture tool - Screenshot Captor
  

TODO:

• WinRar (todo)
  
• Photoshop CS3
  
• Mp3Tag, very comfortable mp3 editor
  
  
  

Perhaps you've noticed that must on this list is also onthe list of Scott Hanselman , which is not so strange because I've used his one as a reference I just wished I had the rig he is currently working on

Update:
I'm currently fighting with my video card to get a good picture on my TV. I have a MSI FX5200 with 128Mb in my computer, but since Nvidia changed their configuration to the new Nvidia control panel I'm not able to get it working anymore.

RIG met goede WAF?
goed aan de termen!
