It takes ages to calculate the time to move files within the same drive!
in windows xp; moving files is an instant operation!

Thanks
 
Truly the most annoying feature of Vista. I've had it take 15 minutes to
calculate a single 4k file.
 
loooooollll

noooo vista is fast :)

Why do you all act like this isn't in XP? I get this message all the time
when trying to move or copy "many" files from within XP. It's nothing new
although it shouldn't happen on a 4k file.
 
have you ever met with a psychiatrist? theres a clinical term for someone
like you... someone that has nothing intelligent to add to a conversation,
yet jumps it to laugh at possible failures and negativity. its sad really.
you must have a terrible life
 
You mean you have not seen this delay?
It takes 2 minutes to delete a shorcut or a 1 kb text file! lol

Its ridiculous...

please give be a break... you have been on my case for too long stalking
me...
if you dont like what I say then dont read my posts and please dont reply!
 
It may take you 2 minutes perhaps because you do not know what you are doing, dumbass! If you don't like Vista, that is fine, just don't troll Vista NG's.

Better yet, he could block your posts from downloading. I agree that this
is a big problem. I have had little files I try to delete get to 20 hours
remaining, that delete just fine running ccleaner. Something is WRONG.
 
Agreed, something IS wrong however I don't blame Vista.

I can not reproduce this and I have many machines at my disposal. One
disgustingly overpowered AMD machine (home) and the rest of them from work
which are all Intel hardware. No such problem.

I blame drivers.
 
what drivers ?? I have seen this with vista on 3 different machines with
different hardware....

XP has never done such a thing...

Yes. The clinical term is "McClure-itis".
 
Get a folder with over 15,000 files (subfolders are fine) and try to copy or
move. IT WILL attempt to "calculate". IT IS in XP.

I just moved a folder while using Vista that had 4 ripped HD-DVD movies. No
calculating.

I'm not saying it's not there or a problem, I'm saying I blame system
drivers.
 
XP calculates with thousands of files.. not with one 1 kb file! lol dont be
silly

vista calculates with shortcuts that are LESS than 1 k.... only some bytes
its riddiculous...
 
File transfers for me in Vista also take two to three times longer than
XP - at least until it gets past the 'calculating time remaining' stage.

I have been back on XP for nearly four weeks now primarily (I still have
Vista installed) and I've only gone to Vista to do something two or
three times. Except for the Aero Glass and a few odds and ins and the
faster application load times, I haven't really missed Vista. I can
once again play music in WMP without over 30% of my CPU being utilized
due to mfpmp, DWM that oddly enough seems to use a good chunk of my CPU
when WMP runs, and WMP itself. On XP, my CPU usage is only around 2% to
4% MAX with the same visualization. Now that I've gone back to XP
though, I do see a few things lacking in XP that are not in Vista. Not
sure if I'll be buying Vista - I'd really like to get the RTM just to
try on my computer to see if some of the major bugs and headaches I've
been having with Vista have been fixed or not before I decide to buy
Vista or not, and I also hope to have better drivers to see if that will
fix some of the issues I'm having.
 
This seems to be a constant problem with you. People having to repeat
themselves a million times over, so....I repeat:

"I'm not saying it's not there or a problem, I'm saying I blame system
drivers."
 
and I am repeating that its not system drivers.. I have vista on 2 different
machines plus
one virtual machine

its something wrong with vista itself
 
Well do us all a favour, uninstall Vista from all your PCs and stop posting
about how crap you tthink it is
 
So by your reasoning alone I disprove you as well. You're two machines
don't mean SQUAT to the 20+ machines I now have Vista Business running on.
Not a single one of them have this problem.

Since it can be proven that Vista the "OS" can function without seeing this
problem then it stands to reason the problem does not "sit" with Vista.

Since you have "other" machines that do see this problem and God only knows
what those machines are (mine btw are full Intel hardware) then it stands to
reason that something other then Vista is the problem.

If you can't figure this out from this point then you're on your own.

Every time you reply to someone here you are WAY OUT in left field. So you
either don't understand English very well (which would be perfectly fine) or
your reading skills are far below a high school level.

Do you want proof of my claim?

That had NOTHING to do with my post yet you replied to my post with that
gibberish.

Yada-yada-yada ad-nauseam

Did anyone find a way to turn it off! I for one would very much like to
by-pass this problem-that-does-not-exist!

TIA
