It's just come up on my available updates. Oh my, hold on tight folks!

My installation's fucked anyway as it blue screens on the shut down or sleep

 

hahaha

Ive got vista sat in my draw, installed it twice and twice ive gone back to xp for various reasons.
I wont be on vista any time soon thank you very much

 

Cheers for the heads up - I've had NO issues whatsoever with Vista HP x64

Got Vista Dreamscenes running antimated desktop backgrounds too, very cool

 

vista since it came out, ive runn all the up-dates.. and not a sausage of a problem not even a crank sensor sized glitch

 

84% downloaded....

My problems either stem from having a self built PC as Vista can be a little funny with older hardware, or the fact that I got Vista very first week of release and had to set a lot of my system up with XP drivers at the time.

If it's still knackered after this I'll get round to rebuilding it soon!

 

my pc can easily run vista,i had ultimate on it and got a system rating of 4.9 or 5 one of the two, run fine but the sound is better on xp(if you dont have decent speakers/sound card you wont notice the difference) and also my webcam doesnt work properly and the nice new £20 logitech one i got works but its like all white and no colour, couldnt be arsed with it so went back to xp where everything works

 

i can not stand vista everything vista does you can make xp do with software

and now service pack 3 is out for xp its even faster

 

well i bought my laptop with vista, then put it back to xp, but i have all the vista cd that came with the latop so is it worth going back yet or staying put?

 

its only just come out mate so i wouldnt hold my breath.

Wait and read some reviews

 

wheres vista sp1 and xp sp3, just run both pcs for updates and they dont find them???

 

Not out yet officially i dont think, i cant find xp sp3 either

 

Ive had vista for a while now on my laptop had no probs other than drivers issues which are now resolved.

What does this SP1 stuff do?!

Sorry if im being thick!

 

A service pack is like a giant update of lots of different files that address different issues, like security improvements, driver improvement, speed improvement etc.

 

Cheers pal

 

that'll be why i cant find it then

tho just got hold'em poker update for vista sadly i went all in and lost

 

xp sp3 is only available as release candidate 2 as far im aware

not sure about vista sp1, but i was running vista, but due to various blue screen issues ive given up with it. I put xp pro on, and before all updates had installed i got a blue screen (a system file or something), but apart from that 1 hiccup runs as sweet as a nut


Got a copy of xp mce 2005 waiting to go on, but need to clarify a few thing first before installing, plus i cannot be bothered at this time

 

2005? whats wrong with xp sp2?

 

Yeah thats a optional download for premium and ultimate users i think

 

this new laptop we got has vista on it, seems ok to me, why is everyone so against it? apart from the way it opens pages what difference is there to xp?

 

If you bought a new machine with it pre installed by a company it has to be ok otherwise people would be taking them back.
People who get problems are people who use the pc for hardcore gaming and computers with older hardware inside them.

 

ohhhh right thats ok then

 

Well I have Vista on a brand new machine and compaired to XP at home it's shite, it's slow as fuk and if i'm multi tasking it just freezes... I'm pleased my new laptop will be still on Xp

 

service pack 3 RC2 for windows xp been running it on my pc with no problems also seems a little faster

i have a tv card and a media center keyboard and remote so its kind of pointless having them if you cant use them properly. I downloaded something called media portal to use instead and its shocking lol
