| | I hate it because it takes about half an hour to install a freaking printer!!! :S
If I had known it was going to take that long I would have installed the printer another day (because I had something to do that day, and helping a friend install his printer took forever)
It is really annoying that when you are in the middle of installing something you dont really know how much time is left, all you see is a crappy bar repeating itself over and over and over again. The popups that keep on asking you if you selected to do a certain thing with the computer is really annoying. I know it can probably be configured so that it wont display the pop ups and other things to make it run faster, but you know what they say.... If its not broken... dont fix it. In my case windows xp does everything I need so why would I want to go ahead and try something new if there is no need for it. |

QUOTE(XtothaZ @ Feb 9 2008, 06:46 AM)  personally, i prefer it
the only thing i don't like is that i sometimes have trouble playing older pc games
EDIT:sorry, just relized i'm prlly in the wrong forum You have your answer already - it does not work with older games (and other software). If things work, the audio doesn't play. If audio plays, other error messages appear. Lots more but I can't remember what else cos I was lucky to poll, and then read reviews of other sites where members gave honest reviews why Vista isn't working as well as Microsoft touted. That made me stick with XP. I mean....strangers have no reasons to lie to me, when they don't know me. I just love the spirit of sharing info! If Vista works for you, congrats! May be your pc is something and you should share its specs.

I can't say it's a good or a bad Operating system... The Problems are: As others said, older programs do not work well or it does not really work with Windows Vista. I have some programs/Good Programs that I like which is not compatible with Windows Vista and I wonder why? Also, the system requirements gives many people a headache [Including me  ] I've upgraded my Computer two times and upgrading to Windows Vista? [Well, I should think of upgrading or to stay with Windows XP Professional] I'm hoping that next time with the upcoming Operating System, it would be greater, we all expect for the good. And I also hope that Microsoft is listening to our complaints, comments and suggestions for the sake of everyone...

Windows Xp Sp2 Restarting After Some Time
(6) Hi , I dont know what happened but My system restarts after a few Minutes (at max an hour). Can
someone guess what might be wrong. It displays a System Shutdown Timer (initiated by
Administrator) and then restarts after 60 sec. This is an SP2 so I dont think its a blaster. I
have a ZoneAlarm Security Suite and it didn't detect anything. I even Scanned my Windows folder
from Kaspersky using my Second OS (Vista) but that also didn't detect anything . .. Any guesses

Time saver tip for windows (4) Are you bored at work today? Here's a small enhancement to your desktop. Hope you like it. I)
When you have to open any program you have to click "Start" "All Programs" and then choose your
selection from the programs folder. Now how would it be to achieve the same task in just two clicks?
You can save all your favourite program shortcuts in a folder and view that through a tiny arrow
near the system tray. Its very simple. You would tell, "Ya, I almost knew that". Here's how to
do it. a) First create your folder and add the shortcuts you want to access. The f....
Windows Vista Installation Fails
(3) Hello. I tried Installing Windows Vista Home Premium today, but when it comes to the part
of the Installation where it says "Your computer will restart several times" my computer restarts
more then 40 times, and never loads after that. After like, 10-15 minutes of it being off, I switch
it back on, and it restores to XP (Witch is good because it wouldn't start up at all). I've
tried installing this 4 times altogether, and nothing. it keeps restarting continuously more then 40
times. The only time it restarts is after the BIOS loads, when switching/restar....
How Many Times Do You Reinstall Windows In A Year
There goes some useful tips about it. (19) I reinstall (restore) windows almost every 2-3 months. What about you??? Seeing the title some would
say "I do it daily" and some others "How to reinstall?". Let's see the poll results. Linuxers,
see you in other post. Reinstalling windows is a daily chore for the students studying computers.
They have to switch a lot of softwares, compilers etc etc. Windows as we know, will not tolerate a
whole lot of (Un)installations and will ultimately slow down the whole system. This is not the case
with Linux. Just consider this, I installed Red Hat WS 3(the older version whi....

winners and losers. However, in today’s world another cold war is brewing, that cold war is
between Microsoft’s Windows XP and Ubuntu. They will never pull out all the stops and launch

Windows Xp: Explorer.exe Crashes On Certain Accounts
(5) I share a Windows XP computer with two friends, and we each have our own User Account on the
computer. Recently whenever my friends use the PC, they begin to have problems with it. For no
reason whatsoever, Windows Explorer will crash and close all the current folders that are open. I
went onto their User Accounts to see for myself (with permission, of course), and found that
Explorer would crash any time I right-clicked a File, and would also crash on occasion if I clicked
"File" on the Folder Window's Menu Bar with a file selected. It also happened on rare occasion....
Windows Explorer Randomly Crashing

all of my windows and opens up My Documents. I usually get this error one or two times a day but
I'm not doing anything wrong. Is this error only happening to me or has it happened to anyone
else. Thanks. ....

Windows Vista Randomly Freezing
Vista freezes randomly (15) So I just installed vista upon the almighty computer, and it worked fine for a day or less. (Bah). I
installed all my drivers and such and went on my merry way. Now all of a sudden it starts freezing
on me. It's completely random, I can find absolutely NO pattern to why it's doing this.
I've reformatted multiple times to make sure it wasn't just a bad install. I've updated
my drivers, they are ALL compatible with Vista. I've read it could be an issue with an April 06
Security update Microsoft released but I have no such update installed. Being a f....

from that document, I'm actually surprised, appalled, and in a way, now wondering if Vista can
actually be an upgrade. I laughed at: QUOTE Enhances support for high-definition (HD)

That's awesome. I never knew the HD drive that I bought was an HD until SP1. /rolleye....

requiring two hard drives (I only have one 250GB one), and other assorted stuff like software
