What to uninstall in a tz191 (us version)

I just got it. and it only has 9.27 gb left of space. i uninstalled office and some other crap with the windows uninstaller. and used windows update but no progress. its fast as hell but i dont have much space left

 

Uninstall Vista

 

Those short, flippant answers don't help forum members much except it does increase your post count, Phil.

calot, that's not bad at all. I only have about 6GB left after installing about 20 apps on a new TZ. A few tips: turn off Hibernate to eliminate that space hog. And once in a while, do a system restore, which will gain you 2-3GB each time.

Unfortunately, most bloatware is relatively small, so you have to delete a lot to see much improvement. My first TZ's Vista folder is 9.5GB, apps folder is 7.2GB, docs 3.6GB.

Hope that helps.

 

thanks uber. that kinda helped. im not gonna turn hibernation just yet. i want to alter it the less possible. im gonna get an 8gb memory stick for any documens,music,moves and such. anyway i dont have that many files. thanks!

 

by the way.... i love vista im notuninstalliing it. it runs pretty fast as it is.

 

I have an 8GB SDHC and it's very slow, but works well for things that don't need much updating, like an iTunes music folder. About $80 for the 8GB Transcend. Panasonic today announced that its 16GB SDHC would ship in November with a list price of $320.

Yes, I love Vista too. It has grown on me, and I don't think I want to regress to XP to gain four gigs.

 

I dnt want to regress to xp either. and when they release the sp1 it should get a lot better. i think ill get the transcend or the memory stick. i really dont want anything sticking out of my usb port

 

My TZ is sitting next to me deleting its recovery partition. If you are willing to go through a bit more work if/when you need to recover, then using an external HDD or some discs will free up another 7 GB.

 

It was a joke, I even tried to post only 'Vista', but that was not allowed.

And on a more serious note, Vista is a resource hog that takes a lot of harddrive space.

But I can get that some may not find it funny. Especially when they are running Vista themselves

Upgrade you mean

Some more oil for the fire:

XP vs Vista performance:
Problem Area 1: Menu Latency

Menu Latency remains one of the key culprits of User Interface Friction on Windows: the slight lag that Windows imposes when displaying menus and submenus may seem minimal, but these delays add up, and they certainly can make working with Windows Vista less fluid than with Windows XP or Mac OS X. On average, Windows Vista was 20% slower than Windows XP in the menu latency benchmarks conducted for the project.

But hey, they propably did not have Solid state drives in the benchmark.

 

Calot where did you buy it from?

 

I bought it in the sony style store in houston gelleria. Im in love with it. i dont want to change to xp. vista is cool. and its gonna get better with sp1. I just want to see if it could run a bit faster. will deleting the partition make it any faster? I have some programs running and lot of processes. im no computer whiz, but if you tell me which processes are unnecessary that would be awesome. thanks

 

how do i make a recovery dvd?? so i can erase everything
