well it looks nice and i have a few campatibility issues with it that need to be fixed but im sure theyll get on it soon enough
i had vista since november.....wentback to xp about 2 days ago... use wireless card in my desktop..and i turned my machine and it deleted the thing from device manager...couldnt get it back to save my life...
other than that its nice. i miss it...
Yea there is going to be lots of driver issues for awhile. It you read the microsoft forums, lots of noise with both hardware and software. There isn't even a SLI driver for the 8800 series taking advantage of the directx10. I'm gonna wait before I build my new monster. :)
finally got my two 8800gt's working :( to bad 2142 doesnt like vista i keep getting kicked do to punkbuster anybody have any ideas? however a plus is it does make many of my games look better. just cant figure out how to turn off microsoft defender. <_<

Open control panel- click classic view.
Open defender - it's at the bottom, next to Firewall and other stuff like Sidebar.
Click Tools - then Options - and untick everything you see, such as:
Untick automatically scan my PC
scroll down, untick use real time protection
untick advanced options, click save
If user access control is on, you may get a warning. Click continue.

first thing i did was turn off UAC
Ugh, I'm waiting a long time before I get Vista. If you play games, need drivers, or like performance, it will blow to use it. It looks purdy though, so I look forward to when it just works.
I just got a free copy of Office 2007 Professional ($499 version). I'm happy with OpenOffice.org but I guess I'll give it a shot.
Which version of Vista do you have/are you getting?

I got office 2007 professional edition as well ..i broke down and reinstalled vista again...grr..vista business... i plan on getting ultimate though.
and again..with my 3rd wifi card it can no longer find my network..or any network for that matter..so back to xp pro i am.
:lol:
now we know why david gray tried to disapear...
ok so i called msft.....and well i was tossed from one indian to a pakistani to an indian..enough that i troubleshooted my own problem while asking "can you repeat that", "i can't understand you", "will you please pass me off to someone else, i'm not trying to be rude but i'm having trouble understanding you"
BAAAAAAAHHHH ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!
n e ways don't know what i did exactly, but it seems to have fixed my issue.
Hello my sweet sweet vista.....dont you dare fu** me again.

NOOOOoooo not that....NOOooooooo
I am getting Vista Ultimate from a M$ buddy, 45 bucks... Microsoft Employee price. otherwise I wouldn't be getting it.
Like others said, looks pretty, but nothing else special about it. I do hate it asking me 3 times every time I open a program that wasn't made/signed by microsoft.... annoying.
Goto User Accounts turn off UAC wont ask you anymore
if i give you 45 can you get me one =)
shoot, imagine muffy trying to ask his friend if he can get 20 copies at that price? You know all of us would want one.
hey the worst he could say is no....dont knock it till you try =)
pleaaaase muffy
Well the deal is, he has "company account money" that he can spend on software and hardware through M$. His wife used up here acount already and he doesn't have much left in his. He is saving it to "Buy a 6" once dell gets drivers for the hardware for the XPS machines. Sorry.
oh no worries turns out a woman that works at the company i do..her son works for microsoft...so shes getting me a copy. =)

I also have the Ultimate Edition. I bet you used a CD Key from one of the RC's? I bet you did it the same way I did, and MS has already caught the hack. Or do you have something different?

To fix the punkbuster issue, you need to right click on your icon for the game and you need to run it as administrator. I would just turn off UAC and make my account admin always.
