With Vista's Aero desktop engine, there is no 2D mode. Everything on screen is a 3D surface. You don't need FSE because everything on screen is inherently exclusive with 3D mode.

Well, here's a real downside to running Vista so far:
I have Vista output to a TV in one room (with a receiver with digital audio) and another in a 2nd room . Since most TV's don't have a digital audio INPUT, I have to use the 1/8 inch stereo plug from the Sage PC as the stereo input for the TV. In XP, with the same hardware, I could simultaneously output Dolby Digital / DTS AND stereo from my Realtek AC'97 sound card. In Vista you have to pick a default playback device. If I select the digital output then the analog stereo is muted. If I select analog then the digital is muted (until I tried an older driver which allowed the hardware to send a stereo signal over S/PDIF. At any rate, I've lost the ability to hear Dolby Digital / DTS / Windows media and all movies are in stereo (with both TV's enabled). This sucks! There is much more to this; please see this thread... http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/1/1...howThread.aspx |

I figured out how to stop ehtray from loading in home premium!!!!
this was totally accident. I've been searching for a way to do this for 2 days now. I was poking around Vista as I am new to it and..... control panel-> performance information and tools on the left hand side there is a place for "manage startup programs" you can enable and disable things there! edit: never mind somehow windows keeps adding a new startup entry for ehtray

For UAC issues, you might want to look into TweakUAC (www.TweakUAC.com) and put the UAC into Quiet mode instead of turning it off.
