    Interesting, when I was testing Vlite on Win7048 last winter while laid up, learned the only usefulness for editing it is not performance but size for rumoured tiny HD netbooks.

    So I'm going to look for my old vLite logs from when I Vlited it down to nearly half the size, mostly leaving out the huge driver catalogue (insert your own), Media Center, and whatnot I forgettaboutit.
    That is very true...HD space and in this case might be its saving grace...

    If I can get it down to atleast 5.5GB...7 will be a go
    How about 1.2 gig? You could add some of these presets back in with your budget:

    Then have her use cloud storage for her junk if she wants some more storage space, i.e, skydrive, etc..
    I was going to force her to use a microSD for her songs (4GB should be good enough)...same difference I suppose

    Check this out -> stefanRTR's Win Integrator

    That is the closet I have seen to a vLite replacement and looks to be so with a little more time

    If you want to use it you have to use .Net Framework 4 (don't ask...) -> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...ng=en#filelist

    There must be a newer driver for the video, even a beta.

    That screen res is unacceptable on any machine.

    Must be distorted?

    Aero always defaults off on weaker rigs, doing a favor.
