BF2S Forums Vista says my C:\ drive is getting full... O RLY?

Aah yes, one of the many reasons why I'm now running XP again. Just wait for Windows 7 to come out and hopefully all will be well.

If that particular bun (Vista) had stayed in the oven another year it might have been passable, or perhaps it might never have existed and would have morphed into Windows 7. All it would have taken was one QC manager standing up against the pressure and saying "no, this isn't ready and is not a quality product." Sadly that didn't happen and Vista is the result. Enjoy.

Just remove hibernation files and excess number of restorepoints with disk cleanup.

edit: and LOL @^

Start menu -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disk Cleanup

And select hibernation files from the list and do cleanup.

Don't worry, I have enjoyed and I will enjoy Vista, good luck in upgrading to Win7 from your XP.

How to delete hibernation files? What files Windows doesn't count?

Hey now I'm not sure what you're talking about,

Wow, I wish we all could be as cool as you use an obsolete OS. Learn your facts before you make yourself look foolish.

but all I was saying was that I didn't like how Vista fails to report the actual amount of space on the drive when looking in My Computer. That was something I personally found very annoying about the OS and so it was a point of frustration for me.

And yes I will enjoy upgrading to Windows 7, except that I wouldn't ever do a direct upgrade, that's more than a bit foolish. A clean install is the only way to go. But I'm looking forward to getting it as soon as it comes out and a M$ employee can hook me up from the company store. Given the performance improvements I've seen on my older hardware comparing XP to Vista I think it will be a welcome change. Thanks for the wish for good luck, though, that's kind of you. But I'm sure with my WHS file server I'll have no problem doing a clean install and reverting if something goes wrong.

Good luck on viewing your free space, in the meantime! I hope you can find a solution that works well for you.

I don't like Vista either, but honestly, you are making yourself look foolish.
Give it up, the "XP is better than Vista" argument stopped being cool a lonnnng time ago

Performance.

well my own experience is that CF and SLi ran better, and even single ATi, ran better on Vista, so what kinda performance lulz ya are talking about.

+ haven't found single compatibility issue yet.

e. and could use settings that really benefit from having raw power too, not just knowing they are there but can't use them because of XP.

Unless your computer is <Pentium 4 class, there is no point in running XP over Vista. Vista had some quirks when it was released, yes, but most of those have been resolved long ago. The only one that remains is the somewhat poor control panel UI, but the advantages vastly outweigh that.

Most people who argue about XP being superior are those who tried Vista when it was new, realized that it was bad (which it truly was), and never went back.
