Vista optimization tips?

I’m testing a computer running Vista. Anyone on this forum has used Vista and Touch? Any OS optimization tips?

thanks,
dani

Hey,

We have tested on Vista and the only real tip I have to share is setting up a new environment variable for vid playback.

Computer/Properties/Advanced system settings/Environment Variables

Variable: TOUCH_LIBAVCODEC
Value: 1

Not sure if this was a Vista specific thing or not…

What OS are people running?

Nah, libavcodec isn’t a OS specific. It’s a different movie reading library than the default, which is quicktime. It’s still experimental though, but it supports many more types of movies.

@ quine

XP currently, I think I’m going to jump right to Windows7 when available though.

The only thing I know about speeding up things, is make it look like xp and by that save resources. For that just change the color scheme in Vista to Windows Classic.
