Can't turn off Windows Features

HeinekenClock · July 21, 2008, 04:32:54 PM

Trying to disable "Remote Differential Compression" in Vista, which is responsible for agonising slow copy times. Getting my relatively small images folder back on my computer takes 45 minutes.

I just did a windows Disk-to-Disk restore (I hadn't defragmented, ran a virus- adware- and spywarescan in 6 months, so I figured this would go faster).

C:/ drive deleted and refit with windows in under 20 minutes so that was easy enough but every time I try to disable that Remote Differential Compression it tells me "an error has occured" and "not all windows features were turned on/off".

Please no "downgraed to xp lol" jokes now :|

Actually I'm not sure. I just tried it and it doesn't want me to turn it off either, but then again nothing is slowing down for me.

Are you sure that Remote Differential Compression is the problem?

Yase.

I got rid of it when I first got Vista and now that I went back to factory settings (and a clean C drive) my system, everything about my computer is faster except for the copying which is agonisingly slow again.

That's Vista for you: a colossal waste of money and hard drive space. Get Linux.

That's an awfully foolish thing to say. All 3 major OS's out there today have advantages.

This topic is about how to fix his problem he's having with vista, not let's fling our misguided fan advice at everyone.

Does this look like "fan advice" to you?

As I regular Linux user I'm getting kind of annoyed with how you're spouting your hatred for Microsoft like this. Look, Vista has its flaws. Mac OSX has its flaws. Linux Kernel 2.6 has its flaws. Just deal with it.

PS: That is a biased site

I've had more problems with XP than Vista anyways.

Yes. Yes it does indeed. That's a purely anti-vista website meaning it's biased.

I recommend any of the 3 major OS's out there based on what a person wants to do with their computer. I have an XP PC which will soon be Vista, my Dad uses Vista, my Brother uses Linux, and my Laptop is a Macbook. All 4 of the computers preform marvelously for what we use them for. Heineken obviously chose Vista, so let's help him with his Vista problem, rather than giving him misguided fan-advice.

Heineken, you may want to consult Microsoft's troubleshooting section of their vista website. If there isn't anything there I'll see what I can find.
