GOT D901C 4 days after order..a few questions

so i got it four days after i ordered from pcmicroworks, check my sig for info about it. I also have vista 64bit and was wondering why i have an average of 58% phys mem. usage!!! while nothing is running. I know vista took up memory... but this is a lil rediculous, no? 62 processes and a lotta services... somebody help.. wat can i do about this?

 

disable the resource hogs:
- System Restore
- Drive Indexing
- Anti-Virus (not really that important nowadays.. as compared to using Spyware/Malware removers)

 

Try THIS. Make sure to choose the version of Vista you are using i.e. 64 or 32.

Update KB 938979

According to MS KB Article 938979 this update resolves following issues on vista

• You experience a long delay when you try to exit the Photos screen saver.
• A memory leak occurs when you use the Windows Energy screen saver.
• If User Account Control is disabled on the computer, you cannot install a network printer successfully. This problem occurs if the network printer is hosted by a Windows XP-based or Windows Server 2003-based computer.
• When you write data to an AVI file by using the AVIStreamWrite function, the file header of the AVI file is corrupted.
• When you copy or move a large file, the "estimated time remaining" takes a long time to be calculated and displayed.
• After you resume the computer from hibernation, it takes a long time to display the logon screen.
• When you synchronize an offline file to a server, the offline file is corrupted.
• If you edit an image file that uses the RAW image format, data loss occurs in the image file. This problem occurs if the RAW image is from any of the following digital SLR camera models:
• Canon EOS 1D
• Canon EOS 1DS
• After you resume the computer from hibernation, the computer loses its default gateway address.
• Poor memory management performance occurs.

My memory usage went from 52% to 38%.
