That's really useful - I have it pre-installed on a Dell laptop with a 1.8Gig Sempron processor and 1Gb RAM. So the only way to get a life free of the 'rotating blue polo mint of death', as we call it in our house is to perform open-heart surgery on the PC.

We also have a desktop with similar specs which performs worse than the laptop.

Does anyone have a solution for Vista's cut/paste failure?

Symptoms; navigate to a folder, which has some files and sub-folders. Select some sub-folders, right-click on them to select 'Cut' and navigate to a destination folder, then Paste them there. The OS should take all the files and folders from the old destination and move them to the new.

IT DOESN'T

Many times I'm left with some empty folders in the old destination. It's placed them in the new destination, with their files within, but hasn't completely 'cut' the top-level folder from the old destination to new. Happens all the time.

If an OS can't get this most basic task right, then I despair for it.......

Basically yes you need at least 2GB of RAM with VISTA

unfortunately a lot of manufacturers sold under specced PCs

and MS went along with this to flog the new OS

it was the same when XP came out PC's with only 256mb of ram and they were hopeless again you need 1GB of ram for XP to work properly

RAM is relatively cheap a 1Gb stick will cost you £20 to get you to 2gb although i would recommend a 2GB (about £45)
and 5 mins and a screw driver to fit (you probably know someone )

About the size of it.

I tried that but, I have 2 recovery disks (that I've used before when I've wiped my laptop and reinstalled the Vista system), when I put disk 1 into the laptop then started it up and pressed 'F10' then pressed 'Boot from CD/DVD' all that happened was Windows 7 started up as per normal. I got no option to restore to factory settings that were on the CD.
