Vista Aero Basic = Cursor Lag

I've had a extremely annoying photoshop issue for a very long time. I was hoping CS4 would eliminate this hideous bug but it's made it marginally worst.
My studio makes video games so we often work in 3ds Max 7 & photoshop simultaneously. 3ds Max doesn't work very well with Vista Aero enabled, so those of us with Vista run the Aero Basic scheme.
Photoshop CS3 & CS4 actually run way SLOWER in Aero Basic. You'll see this while zoomed in using the airbush. Even the cursor jumps across the screen without any tool being in use. If i change my cursor to 'standard' or 'precise' in the preferences the lag will go away.
There must be many others that have noticed this problem. Has it not been fixed because its not possible? No one figured out what causes it? Many users that want maximum performance out of their workstations will disable aero. I'm sure this is embarrassing for adobe because it effects very high end machines.
Please Adobe, fix this bug.
Running in full Aero Mode is VERY smooth but I cannot use that because i need Max running too.
I'm running on a Nvidia 9800GTX. Same problems on other earlier Nvidia cards too. No ATIs here.

Few games companies can afford to recompile plugins every time a new version of Max is released. Especially since in recent years Max hasn't provided significant features worth upgrading for.
Many games studios are still using older versions of Max; admittedly most are also still using XP. PS cursor problems are one of the reasons.
With all the bloated features added to PS over the years, this seems like a simple & important fix. It effects CS2, CS3 & CS4. Alot of our guys still use CS1 because the more recent PS versions are considered bloated & laggy.
Maybe a 'light' power user version for the furture is something to think about. CS4 is several GBs of god knows what. The Gimp is 25meg & improving.
I'm sure we don't need GBs of bloat & services forced upon us.

Cannot enable Vista Aero on Satellite L300-15v with Intel CPU

I installed Vista for my Satellite L300-15v which i bought without system.
I can't set HIGHER memory for the graphics ( shared ) memory which is between 0 and 256.
Please notify me how to do this and whether this is the reason why Aero effects doesn't work *or my pc doesn't meet the minimum requirements*.
note: L300 is 2.13 celeron | graphics: Intel 965 - GMA X3100 , 2GB of Ram
thanks in advance

Hi
Firstly you should check if your Vista version would support Aero.
Windows Vista Home Basic doesnt support Aero.
So you need a higher version of Vista to use such feature
Please also check this Microsoft page: [Troubleshoot problems with Windows Aero|http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/c33fe91a-9e6f-41f4-ae82-3ed2d5fa2fbf1033.mspx#EZD]

Compatibility with Windows Vista Home Basic?

Does Fireworks work with Windows Vista Home Basic? Will it
run on my OS?

I have Vista Home Premium and Fireworks CS3 works fine with
one exception. The bitmap editing tools are not compatible with
Aero. Copying an answer I wrote two days ago...
You can do one of two things. Turn off Aero completely or
have Vista disable Aero only when Fireworks is running.
For the latter,
1) go to where Fireworks is installed, usually
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Fireworks CS3
2) Right-click on Fireworks.exe and select Properties
3) Select the the Compatibility tab
4) Under Compatability mode label, select the checkbox for
Run this program in compatability mode for: and select Windows XP
(Service Pack 2) from the drop down box.
5) Under the Settings label, check Disable desktop
composition
6) Click OK.
Now, when you start up Fireworks, your system will flicker as
Aero is disabled, but your bitmap tools will work. When you close
Fireworks, your system will flicker as Aero returns.
See also, discussion
in
this thread
The post on 09/13/2008 by lallsopp claims that desktop
composition does not need to be disabled, but I find that my bitmap
tools do not work properly unless I do. You can try it both ways
and see what works for you.

Black screen (or screen refresh) during the process of start up. T400, Vista home basic.

My 2 weeks old T400 Vista home basic can start up successfully. But every time when I start or restart it, during the start process, after inputting the password, there are 4 times of black screen (or screen refresh). Is it normal? Thanks.

Can I upgrade Vista Home Basic to Vista Business using Boot Camp & Fusion

I have installed Vista Home Basic 32-bit through Boot Camp partition and am running this through Fusion 1.1. I need Fusion's capability of running Windows at the same time as my Leopard. Presently, this OS is running smoothly as are my peripherals, including my LAN networked printer. However,
I am told by VMware Fusion email tech support that they do not support Vista Home Basic. They would support a number of other Windows OSs including Vista Business which I can readily afford, or Vista Ultimate which would be much more difficult monetarily.
I am concerned that I will need Fusion's tech support in the future and thus am willing to do the upgrade to Vista Business or Ultimate if I have to. I have been informed that Home Basic is FAT32 but Business is NTFS; that FAT32 is Apple readable and writable, but NTFS is only readable. I am a newbie and don't know what that means.
It appears from what I can understand on MS Windows support forum topics that Ultimate is more compatible with Home Basic. Could someone with technical expertise please help advise which way is best to go with this, and if I have to, which upgrade to choose; and, how to go about installing without messing up what is already working.
I'd really appreciate help with this as I have over a month trying to get this right and have had to communicate with tech support of various companies, do several complete deletions of partitions and reinstalls of various OSs and other software needed to accommodate my PC needs. My frustration level is really high at this point. Thanks to whomever is wiling to help this struggling newbie.

Thank you, The Hatter, for answering so quickly.
You asked about my needs. I use Apple OS capable Word to create documents, but often need data from a PC-only CD that was loaded on my Toshiba laptop for these documents which I share with others via email attachment sometimes from PC side and sometimes from Apple side depending on whether I still have things to add to the file and of course need to print from PC side also. That's why Fusion's side-by-side and drag and drop capabilities are perfect for me (I actually used to try to email the document to myself and go to my Toshiba to retrieve it, complete the document and email back, but MS Outlook often failed to operate.) I also receive from a friend, sound files created in PC format that I previously used Roxio to burn to CD. (Haven't gotten this running yet, apparently info I saw online about which Roxio v. would work with VHome Basic was wrong).
When I am traveling and away for 2-3 weeks, I need to have everything on one laptop so I gave up my iMac w/Tiger v10.4, which I loved, for a new Macbook Pro to get the duo core, with a 23" Cinema Display. After reading Apple discussion forum and talking to Apple Sales, decided to get Fusion to run both OS simultaneously (this part works beautifully). I need to be able to print from the PCVM (which I've finally resolved).
RE XP: In my conversations with Fusion tech supp. I was given instructions to load my XP Pro directly in VM w/o Boot Camp, telling me BC was unnecessary because Fusion could do partitioning and everything else necessary, so I scrapped everything and tried to do a new install, but their detailed instructions wouldn't allow installation. When I emailed them of the problem, they didn't reply. I really needed to get my PCVM up and running so went back to scrubbing everything and beginning again using Boot Camp and Vista Home. If there is a way to use use my XP upgrade with or without BC, I'd be happy to, but don't know how to go about it. I ordered Vista Bus. full on a special promo online for $127 but it hasn't arrived yet, so I believe I could return it if I don't need it. Will I need to scrap everything again and start over, or can I install the XP Pro upgrade with where I am now? Will the Vista capable application software be able to work with XP? How do I check whether my current partition is NTFS? What is MacFUSE, do I need it, and if so where can I get it? Is it expensive? I've really over-extended having to purchase things I believed I needed to proceed.
I also have a Seagate 500 firewire for backing up my Leopard using Time Machine. Boot Camp partitioned the 500 for Leopard and PC using FAT32, but Seagate TS tells me that I can't use both OSs and that's why I can't see the PC partition in the Fusion desk top. Fusion TS tells me that I can't use FAT32 to back up Vista. Stymied again! So, I just found a Seagate 300 Free Agent to back up the PC side if I need to I have 13 days to decide.
Suggestions...instructions?
Again, thank you so much for sharing your expertise. I'm really grateful. I have tried to keep notes on what I've done and how, but I've scrapped everything and redone things so many times, I'm just confused at this point.

When I compose an email in either gmail or yahoo, the cursor lags behind for about 2 seconds. This does not happen when I compose an email with Safari or Chrome. I am using a Mac with Firefox version 3.6.3. Any idea why this happens?

Windows Vista Home basic drivers for internet

How do I get drivers for Windows Vista Home basic edition to work with Windows vista on my mac. Can't connect to internet on vista.

Hi,
for the obvious:
After the Vista installation, did you install the Apple drivers from the OSX Leopard Installation DVD ?
If not, boot into Vista and insert the OSX Installation DVD that came with your iMac.
The Driver Setup usually starts automatically.
All drivers needed are on that DVD.

Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit

I'm looking at the customisable configurations, and I see that you offer 8GB RAM but that a 64-bit system is required to support it. At the same time, the only option that explicity says it's 64-bit is the Business edition of Vista, which I definitely do not need. Is there any way to specify an order with Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit?
Yes, I know what I'm talking about and I need the power, but none of the administrative nonsense associated with the Business addition. From Wikipedia:
"Similar to Windows XP Home Edition, Home Basic targets budget-conscious users not requiring advanced media support for home use. ... Home Basic supports one physical CPU, but with multiple cores. 64-bit Home Basic supports up to 8 GB of RAM. ... Comparable to Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, Windows Vista Business Edition targets the business market. It includes all the features of Home Basic with the exception of Parental Controls and the Windows Vista Standard theme. This edition can join and participate in a Windows Server domain. It includes Internet Information Services, fax support, Rights Management Services client, Encrypting File System, system image backup and recovery, Offline Files, a single user Remote Desktop server, ad-hoc P2P collaboration capabilities, Shadow Copy support which provides access to previous versions of files, support for Tablet PCs, and other business oriented management features. The Vista Business edition supports up to two physical CPUs. 64-bit Business supports 128 GB of RAM."
I'm looking at a configuration with a high-power, dual-core processor and 8GB RAM with the 2GB disk cache on top of that for, among other things, high-volume, intense audio processing. None of the extras associated with Business are things I need, but I do need a 64-bit system to utilise 8GB RAM. Frankly, I just really don't want to have to pay $79 simply for the RAM support, I don't want to deal with it through Microsoft, and although the basic edition is apparently not eligible for a free Windows 7 upgrade, I can cross that bridge when I come to it.
My questions:
If I'm configuring a machine with >3GB installed memory, will it by default be configured with the 64-bit version of the edition of Windows I've selected?
If so, will there be a cost difference? There is no cost difference between the listed 32- and 64-bit versions of the Business edition.
If not, is there any way to make this simple change on my order? Does Levono even ship Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Okay, good to know. I still need to know whether I can get Levono to ship my machine with the configuration I've selected, only with Vista Basic 64-bit
SInce Lenovo don't offer either type of Vista Home in a X64 version, the answer is quite simply, no.

what would be most cost-effective would also be appreciated.
Sweating on the OS cost when you are planning to put an expensive 8 GB of RAM into a system seems to be quite cost-ineffective IMO!

Windows Vista Aero theme - incompatible with iTunes?

Whenever I boot up my laptop I get an error saying iTunes is stopping my Vista Aero theme from showing. When I go to task manager and end the ituneshelper.exe module process, the Aero theme is then accessible.
I know the ituneshelper.exe is an important module to allow to run, but I really don't want it interfering with my Vista theme. Does anyone know of a fix for this? Help would be so much appreciated.

OK I figured out the problem:
I had installed Quicktime Alternative which screwed up iTunes since it requires the very newest version of Quicktime to be installed.
Moral of this story: Don't install Quicktime Alternative

Hp 9800 printer will not print 13"x19". using vista home basic. tells me paper size is problem.

Deskjet HP 9800 printer, USB connection, Vista Home Basic 32 bit. I am trying to print 13"x19" colour and the printer receives info from computer, goes through a few gyrations and then feeds my sheet of paper out with no attempt to print. I have tried every possible combination of setup features and have tried to print at Max DPI and at Best DPI. Same results. Only error message ever received was one telling me of a conflict in paper size. That message was received twice during about 15 attempts to print. This my first try at 13"x19". I have no problem with 11"x17" colour or black and white.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select "/var/log/cups/error_log" from the file list in the Console window. Then select the messages from the time of the last printing attempt. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

I need to uninstall then re-install Vista Home Basic and need to know if I must back up all my bookmarks to a disk first.

I have had on-going problems with communication between my Lexmark X3650 printer/scanner/copier and my Dell Vostro PC. Dell has instructed me to uninstall then re-install Vista Home Basic to my PC. I need to know if I will lose my Firefox bookmarks when I do this (I am waiting for them to send me the Vista disk before I can re-install). Will my bookmarks be saved on Firefox? Will I have to re-load my Firefox browser? I am certainly no computer whiz buy I simply cannot afford to lose all these links (collegiate workbooks and course-work submission links etc.). HELP!

You can backup the bookmarks in the Bookmarks Manager.
You can export the bookmarks in Firefox to an HTML file:
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML
You can also create a JSON backup:
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Backup
An HTML backup doesn't support tags and annotations, so if you want to preserve those then you need to use a JSON backup.<br />
Restoring a JSON backup will replace all existing bookmarks, so existing bookmarks are lost.<br />
Importing an HTML backup will merge the imported bookmarks with existing bookmarks, so you do not lose the bookmarks that you already have, but you may get duplicate bookmarks if some already exist.
