No matter, you shouldn't need to hack the OS to make your apps work. Not a problem for everyone, but it is for many. What alternative solution do you suggest to do to fix the problem?

Maybe they'll offer one soon but I doubt it. I think that Nero wants to sell Nero 7 and 8 which is an unacceptable solution. But since you claim to have the answer, show me the solution. give the link. I am all ears. What is the compelling reason to upgrade to Vista? Crzzy1 |

It's really nothing new but I've actually found it tolerable in the other groups. In fact this is the first time that I've created rules to block certain posters. I wish I could help you with your issues but I'm not a big Vista user yet (and likely never will be at this rate), I have it installed as a second OS but to date I rarely boot into it.

But some people are using Vista without problems, and others continue to swear by it even when it causes them a lot of trouble. I suspect that behind the rosy press releases, Microsoft is mounting an insane effort to get Vista fixed ASAP. A year from now, new computers with Vista pre-loaded will probably work fine. BUT, that doesn't necessarily mean there is, or ever will be, a compelling reason to get Vista... and that's really the single biggest "problem" with Vista, IMO. Microsoft's customers will spend a lot of money and suffer a lot of aggravation, just to get back to the level of performance they took for granted with XP. Charlie |

You reply like I am > insulting your religion. > You don't provide any solutions for the real problems that Vista users > have. they don't offer much technical help, if any. What you need to do if you are actually looking for help here is post a question, with a subject that includes the question as well. Better yet, see if there's a more specific group for your question (if you had one). I understand that you hadn't asked a question on how to fix something, and what happens is when you make a post like yours, all the MS fanbois come out of the closet and reply to you telling you Vista is the future, it's your fault for not researching enough, it's different than XP, therefore, this is the best one, 'you have to learn how to use Vista properly'...the list goes on and on. If you look thru this newsgroup, you'll notice that posts written as I described before, with an actual single question, get replies that actually _try_ to help. Posts that are venting frustrations about Vista are not welcome here to the fanbois. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot that have a thorough enough knowledge of Vista here, as this is a general group. |
