I hate Vista

[ceecee79]

Ever since I put the Vista upgrade on my computer, I have had issues. I solved many of the problems (such as internet connectivity, ect.) by doing a clean install of Vista, rather than the "express upgrade" which is what I did initally. The problem I am having now is that my camera will not work. I can find the camera file under windows.old, but it will not work. The camera came with the computer and is not seperate, it is part of the computer. As you may be able to tell by my descriptions, I am not the most computer savy person around, but would like to ask for advice from someone who is. How can I get my camera to work on Vista?

Thanks

haha thats why i didnt get vista i knew it would be so buggy for a couple of years

well, thats where i think a lot of peeps are missing the point....


there is no need to "get" vista.
you will just end up with vista as a natural progression.

people seem to think that just because there is a new OS then they are obligated to run it and thats just not the case, no one is forcing anyone to buy it, and I for one would say thay XP is the best OS in terms of stability and versitility, and will be for the next two years.

XP is the best OS in the history of OS's and thats not going to change for at least a few years.

Vista hasn't really bothered me all that much anymore. The few software issues that I've had such as Nero, Acid Pro, and Sound Forge have been resolved by using the "Software Compatibility Wizard" I run them in XP SP2 mode and I haven't had any more issues with them. The huge downside to Vista is that is requires better and faster hardware. I don't have issues because I have 2 gigs of Dual channel ram and a C2Duo E6420 with 4 megs of cache. I was running a P4 3.06 GHZ CPU and Vista was a bit rough. I still will prefer XP Pro SP2 to Vista though. One of the biggest issues I've really ever had with Vista was with the IPOD. For some reason it didn't recognize it as a mass storage device. It eventually worked by rebooting with the IPOD plugged in. It still gets finicky though.

To r0K: There will always be some "hidden" back door that the Gov't can get into man. It's not just vista ok? Depending on what ports you have open for certain applications they can be exploited in some way. As long as you aren't talking about something crazy like growing 150 plants you don't really have anything to worry about.

For general use, vista dosent do much that XP cant, and therefore for most people, upgrading is pointless unless you buy a new PC, in which case you dont really get a choice.

Im in the process of building a new system and so have bought vista ultimate x64, purely for DX10 and extra system memory support to feed my high def gaming habbit lol

however, it will run alongside XP untill the issues are fully ironed out.

yea i heard that it was gonna be alot different and that alot of computers that dont originally come with it are prolly better off just sticking with xp and that alot of older software will not run on vista even alot of xp software

Vista is not a good option now, unless you have specific reasons to install it. Many of the problems are going to be fixed soon, but since they changed the overall windows format a lot of low grade programs can't install properly.

What type of computer camera is it?

[ceecee79]

My computer is an Acer Aspire Laptop AMD 64 x2. It seems I have seen the camera under 2 different names, Acer Orbicam and BisonCam, I am not really sure. When I did the Vista install, the windows upgrade system said it updated something that had to do with the camera, but it still won't work. I also had issues with my Lexmark printer, but I finally got it working.
