Vista - I have had enough!

I have tried and tried to like Vista, but I am sick of spending all my available time just making things right all the time. When I think I have solved one problem then along comes another.

I can't actually see what benefit that Vista is going to give me, even the text looks fuzzy compared to XP.

Is it worth waiting for SP2, will it arrive???

Anyone got a cheap Win XP Pro SP2 disk they want to sell?

Calm down Se7enUK
Tell us what Problems you faced with Vista,maybe we can solve it and make you like Vista

Really once your problems are gone with Vista, like mine are gone, you will love it! At one time my Vista wouldn't even boot up but i got some help and the Moderators and other people on this site led me the right way

Well, where do I begin...

Firstly

Apache2triad (my testing servers) although I have now installed it still has to be manually started if you wish to keep the UAC protection. Skype also has to be shutdown.

Acrobat 7 will not work so I cannot create PDF's or create a PDF printer driver.

Outlook 2003 holds all my contacts but the Vista address book does not pick these up (as in XP)

Macromedia Suite seems to have a whole host of problems, too many niggles to list.

I am constantly told I do not have access to certain files even though I am admin and after turnig the UAC off.

The text in applications such as word etc just looks fuzzy.

Bioshock kept crashing because of problems with the 8800 GTS card.

My system was

Vista Home Premium 64 bit

Intel Quad 6600
GA-G31 MX-S2 board
Nvidia 8800 GTS
Samsung 2232BW

Alright a lot of common issues, but kind of weird, because most of us are running those same problems without any issues..definitely the Skype has been an unknown problem...yes you'll have to face the problem that vista doesn't pick up your contacts, but the Adobe...Really Strange...Try updating it

Also make sure you are the Main Administrator and have been given access to doing all sorts of things

Currently right now i am running XP x64 for the sake of vista x64 having a major bootup problem...im going to try reinstalling it today

Skype for some reason stops your apache server from starting, so you have to shut it down and then start it back up after the apache server is running.
I have Acrobat 7 and when I go to update it it comes up with an error and cancels the update!!

I have now gone back to XP and have just about finished getting the PC running with everything back to problem free. I wanted Vista to work but I can't justify the time to babysit it. If your productive time earnt you £40 an hour plus would you be happy wasting 3 to 4 hours trying to figure out work arounds?

haha i really got nothing better to do..than mess with this, no job, just school
