My big Games test
Vista is giving me the creeps...
I've tried that a large number of times. The run as administrator thing. And also run as XP2. Still not working. Not even Microsofts own games, like Rise of Nation and Rise of Legends Have to admit that Vista have not convinced me yet. 1. My games don't work. 2. My computer has two speeds: slow and very slow. 3. So search-minded, I can't find what I'm looking for. No, if I can't get it fixed soon, I'll just have too admit my money is lost. Buying Vista was a mistake. I'm nothing but a guinea-pig for the Giant who produced and marketed such a crappy OS. The computer is 3 weeks old, and the specs are as follow: Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz Hukommelse (RAM) 3,00 GB Grafik NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT Spilgrafik 1535 MB samlet tilgængelig grafikhukommelse Primær harddisk 319GB free (466GB samlet) Windows Vista (TM) Home Premium System -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Producent ASUSTEK COMPUTER INC Model P5W DH Deluxe Samlet systemhukommelse 3,00 GB RAM Systemtype 32-bit operativsystem Antal processorkerner 2 64-bit understøttet Ja Lager -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Samlet størrelse på harddisk(e) 932 GB Diskpartition (C 319 GB ledig (466 GB samlet) Mediedrev (D Cd/Dvd Diskpartition (E 288 GB ledig (466 GB samlet) Mediedrev (F Cd/DvdCd Grafik -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Skærmkorttype NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT Samlet tilgængelig grafikhukommelse 1535 MB Dedikeret grafikhukommelse 256 MB Dedikeret systemhukommelse 0 MB Delt systemhukommelse 1279 MB Version af skærmkortdriver 7.15.11.6222 Primær skærmopløsning 1680x1050 DirectX-version DirectX 9.0 eller nyere Netværk -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Netværkskort Marvell Yukon 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet-controller Netværkskort Microsoft Tun Miniport-netværkskort "unicron" wrote: I'm having trouble with dungeon siege 2, keep getting a protection stub error, tried turning DEP off for this but to no avail, also tried running the exe in compatibility mode and as admin, any ideas? |

Vista gave me hell for the first month, but it runs fine now, XP ran like crap for 3-6 months when I first got it. IMO Vista has been a much better experience. I won't even go into my Windows ME experience. In other words, it could be worse dude. Good news though Windows XP is STILL available, just have to kick yourself in the ass for buying a Dx10 video card and not being able to run Dx10. Ah well. |

My big Games test
After spending some time reading about the complexities inside of Vista its
amazing things work at all. The display and audio driver mfg have it the worst, what with the bizarre DRM stuff they have to add to the drivers (tilt bits!). But everything else is significantly more complex in Vista than in XP, from registry spoofing to memory management to hardware execution protection. I suspect it will take developers quite a long time to navigate everything. They've been working on it for over a year now and barely have achieved basic functionality. Just be patient, things will get better! Mark "Torbjörn Nyström / Pharoe Islands " . com wrote in message ... Vista is giving me the creeps... I've tried that a large number of times.

My big Games test
Got a year wiser and smarter today.
Yes ofcourse; it's my birthday. Do you know what present I got from my Vista-computer: My first Vista blue screen ! IRQ not less or equal As you guys say to me, I'll just have to be patient, things will hopefully get better. Thanks for your moral support. PS. There are actually some features in Vista that I like a lot... "Mark" wrote: After spending some time reading about the complexities inside of Vista its amazing things work at all.
