I could have sworn I've said this before, oh well.
Some tips for running pSX under Vista:
Do not put pSX in a user restricted folder like Program Files, same for other emulators and applications that do not use User Data (%AppData%) to store data.
Be sure you update DirectX, Vista is the latest OS, but it's still missing some later DX DLLs.

I'd imagine a good chunk of it is the visuals and probably all that software-rendering code... and of course, I'm positive at least 1-2 GB is simply core system files. It's a good thing that any computer you'd put Vista on would have at least a 160 GB hard drive in it... XD.

I thought I mentioned that theres a lack of DX9 DLLs in Vista on my post here, oh well. The sound issue is a big hurtle that the sound card manufacturers will have to deal with.

Good to hear that pSX runs on all versions of Windows most people use. But that install size is WAY too big for me to ever warrant installing Vista, I'd rather use that space for a few PSX games  (and what the hell is all that space used for, because it sure isn't regular software; OS X isn't even that big, or at least I think it's not; come to think of it, most versions of Windows take up weirdly large amounts of space in comparison to what their features are...).

i was afraid of this. Why the hell can't microsoft make things simpler and not increase hardware spec?
why oh why do they change things that don't need changing?
I will test it out one day. Sad fact is, when games are made vista/dx10 only, I will have 0 choice but to upgrade

Simple. By increasing the hardware spec, M$ force people to upgrade their hardware, and this encourages hardware manufacturers to a) not support alternative OSs, particularly open source/free ones, in order to foster this relationship and b) upgrade their hardware even more, so as to give M$ more facilities to add to the _next_ OS that no-one really needs, in order to make it more desirable.
I'm sure lots of people here will disagree, but to me it seems inescapable - both in terms of the reasoning, and in terms of people suckered into always having to have the new OS and latest hardware.

Guys, if any of you have Creative Sound Cards between the basic Live series upto and including the Audigy 2 cards, then use the KX Driver for these instead of the Creative rubbish. Also, as any Live! owner may know, there ain't a Vista driver coming from Creative, period.
Anyhow, have a looksie here:

I've been wanting to try kX for years but I like EAX Advanced HD too much.
When the kX drivers first came out, there was no ASIO solution for the Live! cards, but then http://www.asio2ks.de/ and http://www.asio4all.com/ appeared on the scene and so I used those - they co-exist with the cards own drivers, allowing me to keep EAX functionality while working with low latency audio.
Then I bought an Audigy SE which comes with Creative Labs' own ASIO driver. Latency is down to 5ms (can be pushed lower but sound starts to break up when multitracking) which is just low enough to use MIDI drum triggers with a software sampler for example.
Through the years I've used Live! and Audigy cards in Asus P2B, P3F, TUSL2-C and P5P800-SE motherboards, all with Intel chipsets, and I've never, ever had any problems.
The Liveware has always been a bit of a mess but once you learn which parts you don't need it becomes a lot less confusing and easier to maintain. I only have the mixer, the recorder, AudioHQ and Audio Console installed.
