had anybody successfully installed i8kfangui on 64 bit vista ?
I just reinstalled my system and i can't seem to install since fanio.sys driver refuses to install. I've tried the suggested solution (Ready Driver Plus) but windows didn't even boot with it.
I have recently installed Vista x64 and downloaded i8kfangui correspondent version but I just can't get the darn thing to install.
I've already tried to disable driver signature enforcing both via bcdedit prompt command and gpedit.msc option, but Vista x64 keeps blocking the installation of the fanio.sys driver wich is used by i8kfangui.
How do I get I8kfanGUI to work with vista 64bit? im having heat problems and i cleaned and re applied the thermal paste and still my cpu fan dont come on until my cpu is at 74c and that dont take long for it to hit that temp. gpu also is always between 54c to 64c on idle.

1730 users, do you use this program on your laptop? i used it on my 1705, installed on my 1730, and i had to reinstall my audio drivers, dont know what happened there. anyway, does the bios (a03) do a good enough job on its own of keeping the temps on the sli cards down? or do you guys recommend using this program or any other? also, do you know which fan cools the gpu? the first or second?

I do not like the layout of i8kfangui, so please don't recommend me to get it instead.
I had it on my i9300 and since the hard drive failed on me, I no longer have it. I don't even know of a working location to download it from.
This is a description of how to cool down the XPS machine, e.g., the CPU
and all the other chips. Under specific circumstances, the GPU and CPU
temperature can be lowered by 5°C and 20°C, respectively.
First, here is some literature:

Firstly I apologize if this has been asked earlier, but I couldn't find an answer to my question. I have a 1530 on order. The OS will be Vista Premium x86. There are 2 things I need to do-
1. Upgrade the HD from a 5400 to a 7200, I have the HD.
2. Install Windows Vista Business - I have an original retail version, and I absolutely need this.
I have the Vista Business Retail DVD. What I want to do is have Windows and the dell partitions configured exactly as they came with the original computer, only with Vista Business, and on the new hard disk. I don't want to alter Media Direct, or delete the restoration partition. Everything should be the same except the Windows Versio

A few days ago i bought an Acer 7730 laptop with Windows Vista pre-installed and no disks. After initial hesitation i have decided to keep vista and not downgrade to XP. After all there will be more service packs and tweaking should speed it up lots anyway.
However, i really want to get rid of the three partitions on the hard drive. There is only one physical hard drive but there are three partitions; a hidden 10GB one (EISA configuration) which from what i have gathered is now obsolete, a C: partition 111.44GB and a D: partition 111.44GB. There is no need to split a drive into several partitions now that we have the NTFS file system (unless you are using multiple operating systems of course - but i am not) so this is really annoying me.
I have made the 2 recovery DVD and the 1 applications/drivers DVD. I have an old WinXP disk that i can use to format the laptop if required.
Question:
Using the recovery disks (which i'm assuming contain a copy of my bought OEM Vista that was pre-installed on the laptop), can i delete the partitions, format the hard drive and install Vista onto a single c: partition?
I've done this exact process before with WinXP hundreds of times but i'm not sure whether i can do the same for Vista with just the 3 DVD mentioned...
I just read an article and it's made me even more disappointed in Vista then i already was in it.
I'm receiving my XPS 16 next week and after reading an article pointing out it's graphical bugs, crashing issues it's made me wonder if i should put XP on there (duel boot it)
I want to buy a dell studio 17 and I don't know if I should add 3GB or 4Gb of RAM, I know Vista-32bits can't use 4GB of ram completely (although vista sp1 will "read" that you have those 4gb physically installed, the system can't access the RAM completely...)
But my question is, May I have some benefit to have that amount of ram ? Maybe the games, or heavy programs could access the extra ram, or is pointless ? If it's pointless, why dell's try to sell that amount of ram if the system can't use it ?
I have yet to install SP2 on my new E4300, though I'm downloading it now.
I was wondering, those with the Latitude E-series, does SP2 play nice with the factory intall? I've installed Office 2007, NIS 2009, and uninstalled Dell Connection Manager.
So I guess my question is, how was the install experience?
I know this has been covered here, but I can't seem to find it through search. I'm running 32-bit Vista Ultimate and it's only seeing 3 g of RAM out of 4. What is the solution? I think I remember someone saying you have to upgrade to 64-bit Vista, but is there any other way? I coule really use the extra 1g RAM for certain things I do, and would rather not have to reinstall Vista...
View 10 Replies View Relatedi have two programs that i use everyday and works fine under vista, the only problem is that every time i open it vista would stop and ask for my permission to let the program run, after i click allow, everything goes normally, but this is driving me insane!!! how can the stupid vista not REMEMBER that i have AUTHORIZED this program as legit like a billion times already and still ask me EVERY TIME i open it?
i don't want to disable UAC completely because i do believe it could be useful, but i want it to stop asking for permission to launch two of my favorite programs (a chat program and a download manager, and yes they are both latest version from maker)

Anyway, I'm looking at the Dell XPS m1530. It seems to be a very nice laptop. What I want to know, is how I can get Vista Ultimate 64-bit. I plan on getting Vista Ultimate Edition SP1 with the laptop direct from Dell (I live in Canada if that makes a difference). Is the Vista Ultimate option with the XPS 64-bit?
Actually, a good second question is, what is the main difference between 32 and 64 bit?
I just want 64 bit because someone told me it was better?
I want this laptop to last me years (2-3-ish).

I noticed that I have a choice to downgrade to windows XP which I am extremely familiar and happy with. Im not familiar that much with Vista and I am concerned with all the complaints I hear.
I definitely expect to upgrade to Windows 7 when available in the winter.
Im just not sure which operating system i should go with now until then.
Did anyone else have this delemna?
i upgraded from xp to vista over the weekend. i'm now typing this back on xp. boy i tried as hard as i could to make it work, but i just couldnt break down and use it. i had so many problems with it from drivers, to programs, it was horrible. thanks to all that helped with my previous questions regarding my upgrade. i'll just have to continue to use xp until it dies, or is just no longer supported at all.

1. Do i need to format c before i can install a clean vista with this DVD? If that is correct, how can i format c without a floppydrive?
2. Or does using the Reinstallation DVD automatically format the HDD? Will i loose the recovery partition this way? And perhaps some more important hidden partions? Because i would like to keep the recovery partition.
3. i have heard about problems with mediabuttons, when reinstalling Vista. Will they not work anymore or crash my pc, after using the Reinstallation DVD?
After a few weeks using Vista on my Xps 1530 i used the guides on this site to install XP on my machine. Now I've decided to go back to vista but this seems to be a much more difficult task than i first tought.
I tried reinstalling with my Vista disk, either by starting it up in Xp or by booting directly from it. But when the installation gets halfway and needs to restart the computer i get a blue screen every time after restarting and trying to continue the installation.

Vista SP1 RTM is buggy, internet (using wireless on a Dell 1390 card) would occasionally be dead. Like if I try to visit a website usually it says cannot reach server or whatever the usual thing is when it can't sense a connection. Also when I type in sites like yahoo.com it will bring me to like the live search or yahoo depending on what i set the provider to be and link me to click on the site with WWW.yahoo.com. If I type the www first it wont happen. Also the "dead connection thing is affecting everything like AIM wont connect sometimes and I have to click connect again. Same with World of Warcraft. It says unable to connect server usually the first time I click connect. Have to click again. I am using a netgear wgt624v3 router, I did not test this with different router yet or have i tried the cat5 cable. But this problem happened after SP1.
