PoppyFunk 0 #12 January 28, 2008 Quote Don't upgrade to Vista, you will be so sorry. I work in HSI support and people call me with Vista issues all day long Agreed. I have Vista on my laptop and XP on my desktop. I still have way too much trouble with Vista. I can name about three system programs I've had to disable already just because Vista doesn't like them, like the COM surrogate thing. And it completely hates Windows Media Player 11. If I had known it was going to be this much trouble, I would have wiped it to start with and installed XP. And about the RAM, I have 1GB Ram installed and Vista *eats* it. At this moment, I'm running Mozilla and Media player and it's burning 80% of my memory."Analyze this!" http://www.myspace.com/poppyfunk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D22369 0 #13 January 28, 2008 What possible reasons do you have for wanting/needing to install VISTA? *** a friend gave me a game that requires vista as the operating system is all. and it looks like a bad ass game, but I am not willing to pay the rediculous $$ for vista to play it.
