Make sure you are running (XP) games in Compatibility mode: Windows XP. Doing that improved game startup times and framerates considerably for me (though YMMV).

Now that I upgraded to WoW, I can no longer connect to their servers. When I try to logon, I get the "disconnected from Server" almost immediately. Anyone else see this problem?

Return to Castle Wolfenstien: Enemey Territory, allthough while it plays fast and smooth, has lots of DirectX errors in it durring gameplay, including texture map failures (where walls disappear for no reason and the sort, and I even saw at one point everyones head disapear from thier shoulders)..

It immediately disconnects me from the log in server after I type my password and press log in. It worked perfectly under XP.

Do you lose sound when you start to load WoW? I have RC1 build 5600 and once I start to load WoW I lose all sound. Even music won't play in itunes or media player.

Saitek has 64-bit drivers for XP-64, but they are not accepted by Vista, not even forcing the update directly on the INF file. Has anyone managed to activate FF on those sticks? Thanks

Some may not be aware of this but the 3D Space Cadet pinball game in Plus! 98, Windows NT, 2000 and XP was really just a stripped down version of a full game made by Maxis. It is called "Full Tilt! Pinball" and contains Space Cadet (a much better looking version) as well as two other tables. I bought my copy on eBay last year to use in XP, but it works fine in Vista also. :-) If you can't...

Will installing the older DirectX 9.0c into Vista cause any inconsistancies or system unstabilities?
