Re: Games on Vista x64 Problems I've got the patch for C&C 3, but no patch for Kane's Wrath might explain the crash I just encountered yesterday. I turned the settings down so everything is on Medium. It seems to be running fine, and out of nowhere I get an APPCRASH. Apparently, it's a common error for Vista games, especially C&C.
Well, my card is still returnable, so I'm going to return the 8800 GS for a 9800 GTS. I know someone who bought 2 9800 GTXs and loves them (why wouldn't he?). They're a little pricy for me so I think I'm going to stick with the GTS for now.
It seems as if my Firefox problems have fixed themselves. It might have been me not allowing my computer adequate time to load all of the back round processes at start up. I've configured my computer to not running some of the processes, and I'm already starting to see a faster start up time.
Other than that APPCRASH, I haven't encountered many other problems since then. The only thing was it took about 5 minutes to load the settings box for my to change my type of clock on the Vista sidebar. Seemed odd to me, but it's fine as of now.
I'll update again when I get the new card. I might even get a Gaming Network Card as well and see how that treats me. |
