I do not see there being a point in keeping an old guide, if the new version has improved on all fields. But on the other hand, I'm not just there yet. I have big trouble with slipstreaming the SP1 for Vista and not getting the loop-effect. I think it happens about 50% of the time. Sometimes it does, sometimes it does not. I wonder when this will finally be fixed. Doing this is incredibly time consuming, and it is therefore really a bit annoying. All good charms for Nuhi though. It is a great product!

If i do like this quide says and i delete components.. How much faster my Vista is then?

Sorry my lame english. I`m from Finland.

My execution times have been roughly cut in half. Boot-up, about 40% faster. That's just my system.

Randomness did you ever get to the bottom of this? It has to do with running vLite on the 32-bit version of vista. There is a quick and easy fix for it. Just copying some file somewhere. If you do a search you should find it fairly easily, I myself am too lazy to do so. Sorry.

Just wanting to check on an update of this guide to see if you're any closer to tayloring it to the updated images of Vista that already have SP1 integrated. The component removal portion is quite a bit different in some areas. Still, this works wonders for those of us with the patience, common sense, and intuition to make the gaps work.

Yes, I did. But I am having quite some complications with getting the network to function properly. It consumes a lot of time attempting to boot new VLite versions in Virtual Machine after removing one file after the other. I will not stop trying though!

I recommended to remove Snipping Tool , Speech Support , Drivers , Languages , Music & Video Samples , Natural Language , Software Quality Mangement , Windows Backup , System Restore & Tablet PC because this makes your vista much ligher without having conflicts.

I just made a copy of my vista home premium x86 and it takes 6GB of space on the HDD.
About how much memory it's using is all depending on how much you have in your system and what applications you use as there is superfetch in vista that loads the most common apps you usualy run, so you can't just ask anyone how much memory it will take as it is all depending on the user and what you use. Usualy vista tries to use the most amount of memory, and this is a good thing as you don't want memory to be unused.

But for example i have 3GB atm, my vista takes 1GB atm, in a couple of days it'll most probably take around 2GB or more depending on how i use everything.






Great post btw, it's much better explainations than in vlite, though some of the explainations should be more than "check" or "keep it", most people wants to know what it is and why you should turn it off or so. Any reason at all would be great for everything.



EDIT: lol, i just realised there was 4pages more than the first one i read before i logged in, oh anyways, i let my statement stay

I fink the reason for the failure of network and sharing centre starting is due a missing dll file. Make sure you have qutil.dll in the Windows\System32 folder. You can download it from here:

Would you tell me if that helps you please.

Kind regards,

Alright folks. I've released a new, complete guide here. Please use it instead.
