Questions of capacity with XP to Vista

I have Windows XP Edition family version 2002 service pack 3; a D3123 e-machine with an AMD sempron Processor 3100 +, 1.8 GHz, 1. 48 GB of Ram and 221 GB hard drive space.

My questions are; my computer is capable of running Vista, windows aero, and having several applications that I use for XP that you think that they will be able to be run by Vista?

Hi Gutski,

Take a look at thisdocument to see if your hardware is only capable of running Vista.

  • Questions about running the XP on Vista Games

    I've been curious about using older games of XP on Vista and have not been able to find clear answers to this topic with my own research on the internet.  I'm a Fan of First Person Shooter, and they are scarce since Vista came out.  So I would like to add a few shooters of Vista I have with some of the older games, but I have questions to do.

    My questions are:

    1. If I have an old XP game that is listed as not compatible with Vista can still use it if I play it in compatibility mode for XP SP2? (The game's FEAR)
     
    2. This will mess up my system Vista SP1?

    3. If I install 2 or 3 of these old games XP on my Vista SP1 pc and run in XP SP2 compatibility mode microsoft at some point let me no update Vista again?

    4. should I patch older XP games so I don't want?  I just want to play on solo not online.

    (The games are FEAR, DOOM3, QUAKE4 and PREY). Everything for one player only.

    I had these issues since I got Vista.  I couldn't really find that responses indicated clearly by someone I thought I knew what they were talking about so I hope that I can help.

    Thank you
    Jebidia

    Hello Jebidia,

    Thank you for posting.  You have very valid questions and I have some answers.  I currently play FEAR (tested prey in the past) on my Vista Ultimate 64-bit without problems no matter what.  I'd say you do a regular install of the games and they should work fine.  Now if you have some problems, and then reinstall the game in compatibility mode.  As for your other questions, you should have no worries about the game, do not let you Vista update.  Patch games can sometimes resolve known problems that the games themselves are with compatiblities hardware Vista and possible.  You can search for Tweakguides to find a site very useful for players.

    So go and FPS in your heart happy my friend. Zack

  • silly question on the background picture in vista

    I'm curious, does anyone know where the 'img22' in background windows vista images was taken?
    the image is of an Alpine Lake and probably sunrise. It looks like somewhere in the mountains of the sierra nevada, but would be too Rocky.
    the only available detail is taken by steve fu and copyright microsoft.

    Hi Danwill11,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of Windows Vista.

    The image you're talking about is indeed to the Virginia Lakes, mountains of the Eastern Sierra Nevada.

    I don't really know if it's a sunrise or a sunset.

    Hope the information will help. Please post back and we do know.

  • Question/design architecture with best practices?

    Question/design architecture with best practices?

    Should I have separate Web server, weblogic application and IAM?
    If yes that how this time will communicate, for example can I webgate on the server that will communicate to each other?
    Any reference to decide how to design and if I have weblogic separate one for enforcement and one for IAM that how session management will take place etc.

    How is general design happens IAM project?

    Help appreciated.
    I have a business web application deployed on weblogic1 and OHS1

    deploy webtier on this OHS1 to protect the resources on OHS1. webtier will be recorded at OAM (where will be able to communicate with OAM)

    I also IAM deployed on weblogic2 & OHS2

    IAM components have weblogic. then ok. But you don't need to ohs2 here, unless your application itself requires OHS for hosting. But here, you mention that it is fair to IAM - so no need to OSH here. IAM installing requires weblogic.

    wanted to know where should I create provider (weblogic1 or weblogic2), and install webgate (OHS1 or OHS2 or both)?

    I hope it is clear now. If this isn't the case, query post for what is not clear.

  • Question about Threads with WHILE and FOR

    Hi all

    I have a question on threads with a loop on this topic sentece.

    Have the following class:
    class test{
    
    bool foundThing;
    PararellSearch(string [] lista, string s2find){
    while(!foundThing)
    {
    for(int i=0;i<lista.length;i++){
    if(s2find==lista){
    foundThing = true;
    break;
    }
    }
    }
    }
    If I start 10 threads which are using the PararellSearch method to look into lista, each of them inits into a different point, and when some of them found the right word then set foundThing= true. It will stop WHILE and FOR loop in all the threads? 
    If not, how could I do it?
    
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    When you post the code, you'll want to post a [url http://sscce.org] NBS so that it is clear that what you try to do it. For example:

    1. in the validation of code, put {code} before and after him, then he will be readable.

    2. the convention in Java must start with a capital letter class names, so test, could not test.

    3. the convention in Java is to start with lowercase letters, so parallelSearch, not PWhateverMisspellingYouHaveThere method names.

    4. There is no such thing as bool. It is a Boolean.

    5. it is a String, not string.

    6. never use == to compare the States of objects (such as the content of the strings). Use equals().

    To answer your question: If you create Test 10 objects, then, given that foundThing is an instance variable, there will be 10 variables entirely independent foundThing. An adjustment will not affect the other. In this case, the easiest thing to do would be to foundThing static, so that there is only one copy which is shared by the Test class as a whole. This isn't the only way, or even the best way in all cases, but you have enough other problems to face, so for now to keep things simple.

    Finally, when you have a variable that is shared by multiple threads, you need to either make all the access to this variable synchronized on the same lock (reads and writes), or you need to declare the volatile variable.
