SKINK - Vista BUGS

[slipknotpsycho]

oh and don't get me wrong.. vista is alot better in some ways.. it's easier to use, more 'helpful' to the average user (a very good percent of people who buy acomputer, have no idea about protection, it doesn't work as well as i'm sure they thought they were goign to do [it's alot more annoying then helpful] but you can plainly see hwo they were trying to implement a security system.... this non piracy crap is well... crap so far lol.. i've yet to get any warning about it, or anything.. i can still use p2p programs, bittorrents, everything, perfectly fine with no problems...

for someone going from OS to OS it takes a bit to learn.. (alot is redesigned or moved around, everything on XP is still there, just in a diffrent spot) but as far as OS's go, it's the easiest to use so far... and i've been using comps since the one before windows 95.... 3.1? i can't remember the name, but i know a friend a good whiel back, had a comp, the first i was ever on matter of fact.. then i got a hand me down from my aunt with 95... then, got my own comp with ME... then got another with XP (my last one) and now of course vista..

vista is the cleanest and easiest to use, and in time i think it can be as good as XP... but as of right now, i only suggest it to those with patients or who understands i'ts the os's fault and not ther comps or they're gonna be running to a computer shop or the help line like 10 times a day lmao....

over all i think ill just stick with xp :P

my dad is getting vista for his new machine, which he will be adding to our network, so if he gets over that ill post about it slip, unless you already got it

my wife's comp is xp and mine is vista.. i'm already over it... but i can show you the solution relatively fast if it's needed... i can tell you now, it's going t ohave problems... cuz vista is using a whole new protocol... something xp doesn't reconize...

the first time i turned it on, everything was ok.. all my old files (from my old comp) i put on my wifes comp, and was able to get them with no problem... but then, the next time we tried to do antyhing that linked them together (namely printing, but soon realized her comp wasn't showing up on my network and vice versa anymore anywyas, nothing systemly changed.. dunno how i managed to get my files off her comp in the first place)

had to download a file and install it on the xp computer so it could reconize vista, still had some problems, but from that point is where the wife took over...

anyways we've went through it... sure we could solve it a hell of a lot faster for yal if you have the problem.... cuz we went through it already...

Hey slip??? in your Task manager with a IE window open what is your memory usage on explorer.exe??? just curious if ie7 and Vista is a bigger hog...

I've been using vista business since like november..thanks to vo-tech it was free...I enjoy using it..think it's much better than xp..

iexplorer.exe - 57k

explorer.exe 15k

[Skink]

ditto... but mainly cuz alot of pc games won't run on vista (or so i've been told anyways) and well, thats the main reason i got a computer in the first place :jointsmile:

oh no they run...

just takes a a couple of manual configurations and a diffrent way of opening it (if playing online)

first, if the game won't run just as a double click (def. won't work for online games) you have to go to properties > compatibility and set is as "run as compatibile with XP SP2"

for online games, you merely have to right click to open it and click "run as administrator"... the properties tab does have a check box to click of "always open as administrator" but it doesn't work..

not really anything major... a few extra clicks to get a game working, definately not a problem.
