Most, if not all, the MVP's plonked your moronic ass........and, fyi, I
started calling you a moron.

If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

That is two years old. The bug was fixed in the first service pack.

names of the mvp's
who did so.

Damn it, quit confusing the troll with facts.

(This is some great entertainment.)

You keep posting 'proof' to the problem you are suffering. In reality,
noone ever denied Vista ever had these problems. As you found out, they
were/are well known. But, the latest problem you speak of was mostly
resolved with updates and SP1, and now SP2. But, you say you can't
update to SP1 (and thus SP2) because of some hardware device you have.

Well....what do you want then ?

See what you get for being impatient and needing instant gratification ?

You could have ordered XP media from TigerDirect or NewEgg over the
weekend and had it in hand today to get it loaded on this PC you have.
But no.

What about your backup ? Why didn't you just restore that ?

I would like to ask you to Google for FileCopy/progressbar problem and see
how Earth is filled with us - morons.

Here's an excerpt from another moron's artcile at
http://www.vistax64.com/vista-genera...file-copy.html
You have to admit it's not us being morons, it's your inability to admit
FACTS:
My progress Bwr keeps dancing left & right, calulating time remaining
(always lying by a huge marging unlike WinXP), but it's not too important.
Important is that data transfer rate jumps from 16Mbps down to KBs
periodically as it scans thru multipel files. All it can fast is copying a
SINGLE large file, even that estimating time remaining and progress bar are
not as good as in WinXP
****************

This is one of the 500 admitted bugs Microsoft admits to in Vista and its a
beauty. <grin>

I hate to keep harping on the same point, but it makes absolutely no sense
to me how such a basic function not just gets screwed up, but WHY Microsoft
would ship Vista with such a obvious bug in it. It totally trashes their
reputation. Oh wait, we're talking Microsoft. We know their reputation. Ship
and fix later. Everybody knows whatever version of Windows we're talking
about WAIT for the service pack
before most of the bugs are out.

All this stuff got to be related. Vista does a poor job of file handling. It
opens files needlessly to make thumbnails it already has. It downloads
codeces it already has and keeps trying to install new copies. Beta tested?
Not very well obviously.

I cannot apply SP1 due to Connexant DSP chip on this HP laptop.
And HP is a major manufacturer, so it's not like I am using esoteric
hardware.
SP1 will not install on systems with Conexant modem/HDaudio system

It should install and you should be able to get a driver for Conexant now. I
assume that you have tried recently?

You aked: "...would like to ask you to Google for FileCopy/progressbar
problem and see how Earth is filled with us - morons...." As a bona fide
moron, you could have found the answer on your Google search. See:

Now take your trolling self elsewhere.

Then that's not a problem with Vista, that's a problem with your
hardware. All hardware and software has bugs. Microsoft fixed theirs a
long time ago. If what you say is true, then HP and/or Connexant have
not bothered to fix their problem.

You should have researched the problem before you upgraded to Vista.
I'd say that's YOUR problem. Now, to get out of it you should either
pressure the vendor to release drivers for you, or you should install
some other OS, or you should disable the internal device and get an
external equivalent. Do anything, but please accept responsibility for
your own actions and quite whining.
