Just change the theme or colours to make it look how you want. Right click on the desktop and then Personalize.
Thats the user account control. Turning that off was the first thing I did when I got Vista.
When you start to copy stuff and it asks you want to do there is a tick box option to apply to all so you don't have to keep doing that.
If you're getting a new system and a DX10 card then you really have to go with Vista.

I see you took my advice about informative thread titles and posting in the relevant sections of the forum.
You haven't posted any replay or video.
To make things go easier for you I would suggest:
Better thread titles that actually say what your post is about.
No multiple posts about he same thing.
Posting subjects in the correct section, there are sections for setups, skins, help and many more.
Drifting tips advice or questions would be best sort from a dedicated lfs drift website. LFS is a racing sim and no matter what people think there are certain things that do not mix well here (drifting and cruising) and normally end up with the thread being locked.
Use the search function, I guarantee any questions or ideas you have will already have been asked and answered a million times over.
I don't mean to jump on you with all this but it will save you a lot of problems in the future.

I've gone to Vista x64 (got 4gig of RAM) as well and not had any major problems. Like Jakg said, spend 30 minutes on a few Vista tweak sites and you'll be much better off and learn a few things.
I had slight issues with my wireless pci card and connection but it's all sorted now.

Did you even read this link you were given?

You could also have downloaded old style named setups which will not show up and why that renaming software was made.

What the hell guy this was answered, stop double posting and use better titles, help, doesn't mean anything, help with what?
A new patch meant the setup file names were different and put into a different folder (setups) which you've already been told.

You put them in your skins folder in your LFS directory.
I do agree with Ian, I didn't think we'd be in this position 3 years (more than 3 years I know) now into the games development, especially with bugs that have always been there.
I do love LFS but when patches come out I find myself thinking, why has this been added or why hasn't this issue been addressed. At times I feel like the real issues are just being by passed and other features added that weren't really wanted or needed at the current time.
I have faith in the devs, it's just taking longer than I thought.

South City will punish your system the most. Turn the FPS on and see what you're getting alone and then with people.
Just do the normal things, cleaning your system, running spyware stuff and try updating the graphics card drivers. Don't have things running in the background when you're playing, like MSN or any torrent programs, that kind of stuff.
Does it crash when you play other games?

Tristan has clearly made up his mind and is obviously trying to start an argument so there is no point in trying to counter what he is saying.
Threads like this posted by someone new would probably get locked within a few minutes because of all the abuse given to the poster.
Anyway, enjoy F1 for the next 10 years tristan.
More RAM will help to a certain extend, you might notice faster loading times (depending on how much you have and how much you add) but it wont really effect FPS so don't expect too see a massive performance boost cause you wont get it.
I don't think you'll notice any difference when running LFS cause the loading times are really short/non-existant anyway. With games like Crysis and ARMA I noticed faster loading times when I went from 2gig to 4gig and the more so now I'm on Vista x64.
Just make sure you know what RAM you need DDR, DDR2 or DDR3 cause they each have a different slot.

How to remind everyone about what kind of things you post about in one easy step 
Ctrl-S takes a screen shot and saves it in the shots folder in your LFS directory. Dunno about other video captures apps, sorry.
Better thread titles would help you a lot, help, doesn't say anything about what you want help with.

Top 3 most annoying, reposted more times than franky has been intimate with a goat, threads ever.
If you have anymore questions or suggestions I would use the search as it will have been asked before and will save you getting a virtual ass kicking.
What the **** are you on!
I don't care that people don't like him, it's the real hatred and venom that people bring when they talk about him and the reasons they see for what he does that are so horrible.
There is no need to be that way.
Nice attitude Tristan. Some really stupid and nasty comments in there
Asking for a setup should NOT be the first thing that you type when you've joined a server.
That’s the biggest announce that most people I know have, when someone joins a server and immediately asks for a setup, especially when they disconnet anyway after leaving the pit lane and crashing at the first turn.
At least do a race to show you're going to stay in the server and race.

You’re not seeing the bigger picture.
Like STROBE said, MM is the head of an international organisation that meets and deals with all the countries and cultures of the world, all of which having varying degrees of what they deem to be acceptable.
Because of this MM's personal/private life must be as squeaky clean as possible with no oddities or perversions. What might be totally nothing to you could be the biggest problem or insult in the world to someone else.
I've been trying to sum up all my thoughts but it just ends up being way to long and will just repeat what many others have said so...
...****s sake, what a bunch of cock smokers.

Yay, I'm not alone!
After switching to AVAST I can see how much AVG8 (and probably other versions) slowed my computer down and missed some trojans, which is a shame cause I've always used AVG since I got my PC.
War? What war?
The only time certain threads become a problem between racers/drifters/cruisers is when either one of the three says something totally stupid or starts reposting already discussed to death topics or posting a lot of the same type of thread.
Like the current crop of new cruise servers popping up and their owners posting a notice about it in the general section.

I can only speak for myself but I wouldn't want to see a drifting or cruising section anywhere here, a drifting section maybe, if I had a choice between having my balls stamped on but never a cruising section. Cruising is about as far away from what LFS is as you can get and should be kept that way.
For a racing simulator to have dedicated section to drifting and cruising in the official forums I think sends out the wrong message about LFS.
I think it's best if they just use their own forums and websites rather than have a section here for drifting and cruising.
