I've never had any problems with Vista, ever.

Open the control panel
System and Maintenance
System
Advanced System Settings
Under Preformance click Settings
Data Execution Provention
Turn Data Execution Provention off

This worked for me in sooo many wonderful ways.

Can I have your babies?

It doesn't fail but it really needs to tell you how to turn off all this "extra protection" garbage.

I tried it and it's slightly better than nubscape which is only slightly better than big rigs which is the worst game ever created.

So does XP compared to ME probably. It uses more recourses like any other OS with new technology on it.

... I love you. In so many more ways than I should and you'd probably be comfortable with.

EDIT: WTF!?!?!? piece of s***!!! It gives me the options to "turn on for essential programs only." or "Turn on for all programs except those below:" and it wants me to manually browse and select for each one.

Yea i just clicked the option to turn off for those below, then usually it'll ask you when you run it, or i believe it will be an option it preferences (right click)

Vista now = no.
Maybe a year or two = yes.

Done.

Or by the end of the month or so when SP1 becomes publicly available.

Though, I have had no problems with Vista on either my laptop or newly build computer. It is very different from XP, though once you figure out the basic layout, I find it to be slightly more accessible that XP in lots of ways.

There is the issue with older software and drivers, but there has yet to be an OS that has been completely compatible with all drivers and software anyways.

It sucks, the flash beta for vista made flash run worse for me. The only reason i reinstalled XP, ffr.

Hey, I don't know a single thing about vista, but I always turned of automatic startup applications by going:

Start -> Run -> msconfig -> Startup/Services Tab -> Unchecking every piece of crap I don't want.

EDIT: In this case, you might want to disable Norton.

For those of you who have problems with Vista and happen to use AHK, try THIS instead. I noticed a huge improvement in gameplay when I used it instead of AHK. Credits for this goes to MRichards.

Vista blows, but for different reasons.

PC police for starters.

And sorry, DX10 is not worth it unless you've got triple SLI running off the new 780i chipset and the 45nm standard and will gobble the Vistacack to get a few more FPS. I don't care if I get better frame rates, I'm not trusting any of my data to Vista, particularly because I don't have the hardware I want to run games anyways.

Vista is epic fail.

Windows Vista: making sure that you don't get a virus in exchange for making you not want to use your computer altogether.

Winning combination.

p.s. I "needed permission" to manually edit the name of a document folder in my own C drive. I was on the admin account. What the ****.
