    Default Vista is a Joke

    Having recently got a new PC with Windows Vista, I have had constant problems when trying to play M2TW or do anything basically.

    First of all I had constant crashes and had to remove 1GB of my 2GB RAM to stop those. Then, having thought the problem was fixed, M2TW would start up and run at a snails pace, virtually unplayable due to the lag. I would have to restart the PC until it decided to run smoothly. Now, having installed the latest Windows updates automatically (well the ones that didn't fail to install for whatever reason), my PC won't start. It loaded once since I installed the updates, but M2TW was doing its usually laggy performance, so I restarted the PC. However, when it got to that green loading bar bit, the PC stayed like that for at least five minutes before I restarted. It then told me Windows had failed to start properly. Even when loading in Safe Mode the PC stops loading when it gets to a certain point each time.

    Ever since I got this new PC with Vista it has given me nothing but problems and I'm thinking about just sending it back and getting a new PC with Vista, even if it won't be DX10 compatible.

    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    Oh noes. I ordered a new laptop for me (a Sony VAIO), because my old one was 5 years old, and it ran like a snail. It will come delivered with Windows Vista.

    I hope I won't have problems with it...

    Vista's fine, for the most part.

    I'm not sure I want to get used to my computer crashing and probably having to have everything re-installed just because Vista failed to install some updated properly.

    To be honest that really doesn't sound like problems with Vista itself, but more like hardware/driver issues.

    No, I think it was the automatic updated that mucked it up somehow. Anyway, I used the repair my PC function on the Windows Vista installation disk, and now it works again. For justnow anyway...

    Maybe, but we still don't have to like Vista.
