Microsoft Windowns Vista Ultimate SP2 Lite LOADED with all ESSENTIAL SOFTWARE (32bit English)



>>THIS IS ONLY A PART OF THE INSTRUCTIONS.TXT FILE CONTAINED ON THIS TORRENT<<



- Looking to give a NEW LIFE to an OLD COMPUTER?



- Looking to have THE FASTEST possible Windows Installation without the effort it takes to install an O.S. + programs from scratch?



- Looking for a "Spare Tyre" in case your computer dies on you?



Here is my fix...

If you admit, as I do, that you: 1) ARE LAZY; 2) LOVE how fast a new computer and a freshly installed O.S. is and 3) HATE the 2 days it takes to install all the software one requires from scratch... then this torrent is YOUR DEFINITE solution!

I was always MAD that after a few months running, any computer I ever had was always getting slower and slower and then crawling and taking forever to boot, to open any application and to run even the simplest of tasks. Also I realized that NONE of any "Registry Cleaners", "Tweakers" and "Optimization Tools" NEVER, EVER worked as the manufacturer promises, that Windows Updates were a SHAM by Microsoft to make you believe you are safe while at the same time making your computer more and more a patch of fixes that WILL only be guaranteed to drag your computer to the ground as the O.S. getting bigger and bigger and slower and slower, until it drops dead. With these facts in mind I decided that I would never, ever again be dupped by Microsoft and their 40 thiefs.



I looked for a solution to my conundrum that would be easy to implement (as befits a lazy guy like me...), even if the 1-time preparation took some days to prepare (as it did!)... My solution is based on NOT INSTALLING the O.S. and "peripheric" software from scratch, but to use a partition image of the Drive C: of a freshly-installed O.S. + Software! [p.s.: for those not familiar, a drive image is defined as a perfect copy of the drive you prepared it from and able to be cloned to any other computer so to make the second computer a mirror-image of the state the first computer was at the time the drive image was produced]. With a nice image someone would be able to always have a fresh computer on the go!



Also, for it to work it is necessary to keep the files you produce and/or receive from other people and/or download from the web in a SEPARATE drive (so it is necessary to PARTITION your hard-disk in MORE THAN ONE PARTITION) which brings the added advantage that if you need in the future to reinstall the image (to make the computer "fresh" again) you will NOT lose your personnel data! And remember: when the primary [boot] drive in a Windows system fails and won't work anymore ANYTHING you had in that drive C: is LOST but ALL THE data on the others drive (the so-called "logical drives" located in the "extended partition") are STILL AVAILABLE. So you won't lose your data if it is on the Drive D:, E:, F: and etc but you WILL LOSE any data on the drive C:!

ADDENDA:

(A) As I said in the beginning I don't like the Windows Updates - nowadays I prefer to reinstall my imaged drive "C". I also DO NOT upgrade any of these software programs - after all if the programs are running all-right, why risk an unknown "update" or "upgrade"? And for the security issues, I prefer to rely on the third-party antimalware software installed on my computer other than trust Microsoft to do a good patch job (which it will NEVER, EVER DO - not even in a million years! and they do NOT have the stimulus to do a right job - they do not earn a penny if they fix your computer right so that you keep using your old computer instead of buying a new one every 18 months!).

(B) I used as the basis for this installation the Win Vista in the torrent called "Windows Vista Ultimate + Home Premium SP2 Final Lite Edition" [ at http://kickasstorrents.ee/windows-vista-ultimate-home-premium-sp2-final-lite-edition-t2658275.html ] which is truly amazing [my many thanks to the uploader]. It is very, very, very fast as it was trimmed to be only 682 Mb [compare it with my regular SP2 I bought for $200 at 3.7 Gb!]. In the first computer I installed it (an old computer from my girlfried - an old AMD Semprom 1GHz with 1 Gb of memory and which was running XP SP2 with a LOT of effort), this bare-bones installation was booting in only 45 seconds (as opposed to 5 minutes and counting for the XP!). Yesterday I reinstalled this complete installation and the same computer was still only taking 1 min 12 seconds to boot!). Please go to the original updater description at the kickass.to address above for a list of what was trimmed off in this Vista Lite bare-bones install.



(C) But what are the differences from my installation to the bare-bones install I based it in?

I basically:

(01) Fixed the language problem to Standard American English (the original had a lot of Arabic on it, including the numbers!);

(02) Trimmed and fixed the Registry to get rid of all redundant and/or invalid entries;

(03) Installed DirectX 11 and Visual C++ 2008 / 2012 Runtime Libraries (in order to speed the system and allow install of newly releasead games and other programs that relies on those technologies);

(04) Installed ZoneAlarm Security (Firewall + Antivirus) >> sorry Avast! you lost me at version 8 (which is a piece of JUNK)!

(05) Installed Kingsoft Office 2013 >> sorry Microsoft but I will NEVER AGAIN BUY ANY OFFICE PACKAGE (why pay ANYTHING if the free program from Kingsoft is WAY BETTER than Microsoft Office never was? After all I am not STUPID any more - although I must have been previously as I in my life bought at least 10 Microsoft Office Packages in 25 years!);

(06) Installed Spybot Search & Destroy v.1.62;

(07) Installed Malwarebytes Anti-Spyware and Malwarebytes Anti-RootKits;

(08) Installed MagicDisc with one Virtual Drive to mount any ISO image and play my games without any DVD or CD;

(09) Installed Opera v. 12.15 and Firefox v. 23 (with DownloadThemAll! download manager);

(10) Installed a registered version of Aaron's Webvacuum download manager;

(11) Installed Calibre for managing my Ebooks collection;

(12) Installed IrfanView to view and edit my pictures and photos;

(13) Installed Foxit to read, edit and create PDF documents (you can also use Kingsoft Writer to produce a PDF from a .doc file);

(14) Installed Winamp Lite for listening to my Internet Radio from Shoutcast.com and to play my CD's;

(15) Installed uTorrent (v.3.32), the BEST P2P program in the world to download my torrents. The program is already configurated NOT to show any advertisements (which is the default mode when you install this freeware program from scratch)!

(16) Installed VLC media player to play my videos and watch ALL my downloaded movies, regardless of format;

(17) Installed BurnAware to burn my CD's and DVD's;

(18) Installed Paragon Backup & Rescue 2012 to backup and restore my drives' images;

(19) Disabled Internet Explorer - that piece of JUNK that you cannot uninstall from any Microsoft Windows, even after that famous Federal lawsuit from the U.S. Federal Government some 15 years ago that MANDATED that Microsoft should allow users to uninstall the Microsoft browser if they wished to (but Surprise, surprise - in the U.S.A. Microsoft is ABOVE THE LAW and they can do whatever they want without fearing any reprisals - Money talks, right? and Microsoft got a lot of money to win any shouting contest they may get involved into!);

(20) Disabled the Windows Side Bar Gadgets and configured ZoneAlarm to kill the app if it ever tries to run (the Side Bar Gadgets is a major security open-door threat, recognized even by Microsoft (although the Microsoft "solution" was a patch that you install and which will freeze up "administrator privileges to run" to the Side Bar program so that the user cannot change it to re-habilitate again the Side Bar - now a hacker can get over that in about one minute!) - my solution is neater: block (inbound and outbound) Internet access to the Side Bar program on the ZoneAlarm Firewall and instruct that same ZoneAlarm Firewall to kill the app if it ever tries to run (but of course you can always install the "fix" from Microsoft [and pay the penalties associated with that lousy patch] - available here [ http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2719662 ]

(21) Installed LogonStudio to get rid of that boring Windows logon screen - changed it to a nice Thai lake and temple scene;

(22) Installed WallpaperUpdater, installed some 240 nice-to-look wallpapers (Nature scenes chosen by me for their striking colour and balance appeal and edited by me to correct the colour, saturation, gamma and white balance and resaved with the smallest possible size to prevent a big impact in the performance of old computers with "memory-deficit" - ideally this Vista install requires 1 Gb to run smoothly, 2 Gb to run blazently fast and 4 Gb if you want to edit videos). The WallpaperUpdater program was configured to change automatically your desktop wallpaper every day so that every time you run a task in your computer you can also admire some nice new view.



And even with all these installed, it still takes less than a minute to boot on my computer (a dual-core 2.4 GHz with 4 Gb of memory)!!! Enjoy it!
