Vista is awful for me, why ?

I have let Vista do this hardrive thrashing for many many months now.
I have had it and can no longer take it.
I read that it should have stopped after awhile but it has not.
I just started tweaking to try and make it stop.
I cannot find what is causing the hard drive thrashing or what is holding me
up.
I have to wait my turn just to do the basic computer stuff, why ?
All of this background running around vista does is not helpful to me.

Can you make a stripped down expert version for gamers ?
You have so many vista versions already, what is one more?
Make it so that does not have all of this background bs running, indexing,
cacheing and whatever you think needs to run in the background using up all
of my resources. Have options so I can turn all of this off.

I have turned off vista indexing, defragmenter, search, superfetch, aero,
and killed everything else that is not needed with Autoruns.

The hard drive still constantly thrashes for hours and HOURS !!!!!
This has been going on since I first installed it way back in June 2007.
I have searched to see what is sucking up all of the CPU cycles and nothing
shows up in task manager.
So it is hidden and yet the hard drive light is going a thousand miles an
hour and the CPU usage is way up and so is the ram usage.
I have no virus or malware.
I run vista defender when it pops up on the one day I tell it to run so it
is not it.
I am trying to use the computer but the computer will not let me because it
has to run some bs in the back ground that everybody tells me should not
affect me.
Well it does !
Plus Vista uses up all of my ram to guess at what I am going to open next ?
Give my ram a break !
This hardrive thrashing affects everything I do. I have to wait on it. It
holds me up. It affects my streaming interent radio, cutting it off and on
and then completely off. I have to refresh it to start playing again. This
happens all night long !
I have to wait for webpages to load, etc...

Always waiting on Vista !

I just sat here all day playing the internet radio while watching video with
18 web pages open, checking mail and uploading pictures without one radio
hiccup in XP.

I have to use a third party defragmenter just so I can get defragmenting
over with in 5 minutes versus the 18 hours vista takes.
Where are the little boxes that show me how defragmented it is and how much
longer I have to go until it is done.

I would rather wait for a search than have to wait every time I boot up for
vista to let me do something.

Everything crashes.
Then vista tells me to download the latest updates that I already have.
I submit for solutions from Microsoft and I get nothing.

I have none of these problems with XP and never did.

I am using a 4800x2 dual core with 4gigs of ram, two 7800gtx video cards in
sli, raptor hd, everything is watercooled and Vista still brings it to its
knees all the time.
I have all updated drivers for everything.
WHAT GIVES ???

Is Hollywood to blame ?
http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut00...ista_cost.html

It is going to suck when I am forced to have to use vista !

I do not know where else to vent my frustrations about this software to get
it fixed.

I have tried every tweak guide to get it running better but nothing helps to
stop the hd thrashing!

What do I do now ?

Please help !

Thanks !

I've seen you incendiary and inflammatory post already three time in the
past.

I can explain to you why Vista is doing it for you:: "Because you are a
crook, you are an idiot, and you deserved it."

And you do not deserve any help in this forum.

There's something wrong with your computer.
I have and Intel Pentium D machine with 1 GB of RAM and HD activity is
similar to my other PC which is a Win XP machine and neither of them thrash
the HD.

I would suggest you consider purchasing a new hard drive
that will resolve your hardware issue. My recommendation:

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250410AS 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM

Why? What else do you plan to do with your ram?

Carey, this is a brand new Western Digital Hardrive 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache
SATA 3.0Gb/s I bought just for Vista.
I run XP on the WD raptor, sorry.

May be you have 64bit version? I found that to thrash more than 32bit. So i
put on 32bit and it hardly ever thrashes

Hiram, I have absolutley no HD activity on my XP hard drive using all of this
same hardware I use with a seperate harddrive for Vista.
I have run Avast antivirus, Spy Sweeper, Vista Defender all from the time I
installed Vista.
Nothing shows up as a problem.

Does Vista recognize all of your memory?
Seems like I've heard here that Vista can be picky and may have trouble with
memory sticks, even tho the same sticks worked fine in XP.
Not seeing all of your memory would explain why the drive is thrashing so
much.
