Vista woes? BEGONE!

Re: Vista woes? BEGONE!

I thought the random goods were caused by framerate issues, not lagging input from keystrokes.

nope keystrokes, and soul you are right, and i am right. We are both right. But both solutions work.

This will help about 50% of the people that do it. If your system is a beast then this should help you. If not then you will still suffer from the Vista and Flash issue.

Opera runs FFR somewhat like Mozilla. Its sad to say, but IE has them both beat when it comes to playing FFR.

On the mention of open source OS'. Yes, these are the best OS' to run. I stay with an Ubuntu/XP dual boot. If you are adventurous with PC's, try one!

if this helps even one person then it wasn't a complete waste and I'm happy : D

And use online guides first before you try anything so you don't do anything like setting up partitions wrong, unless you're planning to replace the current OS on your computer. And you also might want to check if your graphics card is supported, or many graphical things won't run so well and you'll be very disappointed. Mine used to be supported till Edgy Eft or Feisty Fawn got released

Re: Vista woes? BEGONE!

i think a confirmation on the validity of my walk-through would be better before this thread is stickied, just to be sure since i don't have vista and can't verify this myself. Although im fairly confident in my findings :/

EDIT: Zag the edit is literally inserting a 1 where there was none before, no need for a reg file to be posted.

And there are many people in the world who don't even know what the registry is, and will get scared while trying to follow your instructions. The registry file will make their life easier and stress free.

Any confirmation that this works and doesn't cause 'splodies?

Re: Vista woes? BEGONE!

Isn't the registry file specific to one's own computer? I'm getting to the point that I think if you take someone else's registry file, some things on your own computer might not work anymore. Say HighAndr0id doesn't have Microsoft Office on his computer, but you do on your own, taking his registry file will make you not able to run any Microsoft office software I believe.

I'm pretty sure I'm correct about this unless someone knows for a fact otherwise.

Re: Vista woes? BEGONE!

this solutions literally takes less then the time it takes to reboot vista, I win.

But you have to reboot vista to do it. I CALL PARADOX.

PS about to go reboot vista. Which in some cases may actually take longer than it takes to install ubuntu.

Re: Vista woes? BEGONE!

hopefully lumph will confirm or bust this

Re: Vista woes? BEGONE!

It's for people who upgraded from XP to Vista, so only people who have upgraded their OS to Vista can confirm this. (at least the page you linked to says that it's an upgrade problem) Vista still sucks for me, and it really doesn't have bad specs either. It was a fresh install and was pre-installed when I bought it.

Most cards are supported; you just have to go and find/ edit your driver in Ubuntu.
If you arent good with PC's though; you will for sure **** up your installation by messing with the drivers.

I wouldnt rec. using Ubuntu unless you are willing to learn it. If you are planning on only watching movies and using the internet; then ok... But Ubuntu takes a lot of getting used to to be able to customise it to work with things (Especially playing online games using WINE).

Re: Vista woes? BEGONE!

ok then so any solutions for people who had vista pre-installed, if what high android said doesn't apply. i tried what he said and upgrading and reinstalling flash player and my specs are pretty high, but ffr still looks choppy when i play it.

Re: Vista woes? BEGONE!

yeah this works for the most part. my computer still runs fine and nothing was lost. i still get lag spikes and random goods every now and then but it's a lot better than 300 goods on vc's.
