Hi Damaster,

grtz!

What exactly do you wish to know, minimum UAC needs to be disabled, for htpc use this is not a problem, if you want to get rid of all annoying messages, then full admin account needs to be enabled and used.

Hi,

I need to know what can be stripped in Vlite and what codecs that should be installed voor Vista. I also need to know various register tweaks for vista; but especially the vlite guide..

Guys, so whats the final word on MP + Vista? From what I'm reading here, my planned MP + Vista (for EVR) build should be stable, with H.264 DXVA acceleration using PDVD7, yes? Could anyone please confirm that this is a stable/working combination.

Much thanks!

PS: I read someplace that using EVR disables HA ... is this true?

Hi sorry for late reply;

- I managed to strip vista with vlite, it runs very fast now without all the unnecessary stuff

- I have Vista Media Center; DXVA inside VMC is NOT working
- DXVA with WMP11 is working
- subtitles + DXVA is NOT working
- Yes you need powerdvd ultra 8.0

Justchill, what did you strip out with vlite?

Justchill · 2008-05-26, 18:59

Hi,

well actually alot!

Just keep the essential things like internet etc... Remove all unnecessary stuff. Also keep Vista media center (just in case).
