DerAusgewanderte Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I need some help with this. I have the following filenames in system32 after install. Am I missing one and if yes, what is its name? slc.dll slcc.dll slcext.dll slcinst.dll slcommdlg.dll thank you ok, maybe I wasn't clear enough. could you please check in the system32 and tell me if I am missing one of the slc* files and if I am missing one, what is the filename. This is not a trick question. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M118LR Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 ThechNet Plus costs less that MSDN. The downside to TechNet Plus is it is DVD only and takes 6 weeks to get. You can get MSDN fot $200us more but you get access to download within days of Connect. It depends on how much you want to spend. I don't know about MSDN but with TechNet Plus I get several DVD's each month. I'm in the U.S. so I don't know about how it is in the U.K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak_power Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 WTF, how is my x700 only as good as your 9600? And for some reason, Vista says I have 2GB RAM. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Dave- Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 smug mode :D :D btw, my vista install uses about 300 megs without glass, 400 with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak_power Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I update memory from 1.5GB to 2GB, but the performance Rating still got 2 point. how can be this ? :pinch: Because of CPU...even it's overclocked Vista sees it as Sampron 2800+ which is not that great...

Verge Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Yes, I have 64 MB of RAM on my GFX card, and I reported a bug about it. is it shared memory... in such case it very well may not recognize it properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomi Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I really don't see anything that special about Paint in this build [from looking at screenshot; I'm not a tester] that some people seem to be getting excited over. =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyX Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 About paint... why don't the colors go... ON THE LEFT OF THE SCREEN? And why can't we move the toolboxes and all... and why don't they add SOME new options (we don't want paint to compete against photoshop, otherwise MS is in the shizt, but you know..antialiasing would be an idea, real jpg compression too, rotate, etc...) I appreciate their interface refresh, but it lacks many many things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trek Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I really don't see anything that special about Paint in this build [from looking at screenshot; I'm not a tester] that some people seem to be getting excited over. =\ because paint hasn't had a significant (even slight) change since they adapted paintbrush from 3.1 :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech_Dude_5000 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 (edited) thats true , but what is the use for paint? its just a good tool to take screenshots of your pc, and post them on the net. other then that theres no real good use for it anymore. Now if Microsoft included an advanced tool ( less advanced the photoshop, since photoshop is the best out there and we dont want microsoft to get sued by adobe ) then it will be nice,.

DG55 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Yeah, theres no point in adding so many features to paint. In fact, how do we know if there are any new features in there just by looking at screenshots? I think people should appreciate that they have actually updated it for a change. The UI refresh is small but a nic e change, and it also looks like they've updated all the icons on the left - which is a main thing people were complaining about!

Circaflex Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 hmm 2 trys and no go so far, first i tried to install from within my xp partition, it worked but bsod halfway through, and now I am getting some error right after I enter the key when I boot, I think it might have to do with my first install failing, gonna try again later tonight or tomorrow.
