System Restore Points are made ONLY if there is a change in the
settings of the System.
It is advisable to delete ALL Old System Restore Files,
( automatically retaining the latest working settings date)
and then disable SR, to enable Windows to load faster.
MIN requirements for Windows 7.

System Restore is service which runs and hence i disabled it. Its of no use to me or to my friend.

essbebe · 10-24-09, 02:02 PM

For Windows 7;
there is a discount of Genuine users of Windows 98 Vista etc
Basic Home Rs 5899 less 40% is a deal !

Read fully the post. ONLY quote relevant sentence .
It was suggested to CREATE one SR point and then disable it.
If you feel ( and your friend ) think that MS has wasted their efforts to create this facility.
probably you are too sure about your perfect System which will never get a Virus/trojan/
malware etc.
Or may be you don't connect to Internet and use the computers like game consoles.
"System Restore" application does not use system resources when disabled.

XP SP3 is the best product from Microsoft so far. But it looks like Windows 7 may make XP SP3 disappear in a few recent years.

kingofsanda · 10-26-09, 09:06 AM

I prefer to use windows xp because it works better than vista, there are too many bugs in vista.

Hi there ..right now I am using XP ..and its doing fine and I have no complain whatsoever..although I haven't try Vista but heard so many rants on this OS..not only on this forum but with the others too..Now I am getting curious on this OS and I will Try to use it to find out which is better between the two..Can a dual core suffices Vista?

Yes friend, its good, i have tested the beta.

rishbhsharma · 11-05-09, 10:27 PM

I like XP, the error free XPSP3 that runs every thing smoother, faster. It runs old programs perfectly unlike vista........

essbebe · 11-08-09, 04:08 PM

Security update for Windows7:

manoj_infos · 11-09-09, 04:13 PM

For better gaming performance and to run all softwares without trouble XP is best...

Vista consume RAM and harddisk space compared to XP...so better go to xp.....

omshanti · 11-19-09, 04:21 AM
