Re: VISTA

I love the interface and the search features. The problem is the software drivers.

Re: VISTA

What drivers are giving your problems? I am slowing finding that vendors are updating their drivers. I have about 3 I am still waiting on.

Geneva alot of ppl use computah fi duh dem studio work etc.
Audio is very taxing on an OS and on its ram.
Yuh a ha nuff probs wid wah ya duh.

here's a few quotes mi jus jus si pan one mi recording forums

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">VISTA? Don't get Vista for audio....unless you want to deal with complications, then it will be a great choice.
</div></div>
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Do not buy Vista or Media Center yet!!!
You can always upgrade later once the bugs are worked out. Vista sucks up too much of the CPU power just to run pretty visuals, IMO.

I use only XP Pro SP2 in all of my PCs, no problems.
2 of my PCs have RPC-1 cards and run great with my programs and linked to my VS.
TigerDirect and PC Club, still sell PCs with XP Pro SP2 and if you search PC Geek places you might find more.
Later,...</div></div>

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Vista is indeed a huge hog on resources... whatever processor you think you need, double it. And triple the ram.

I personally find the visual enhancements and the changes to the overall interface to be quite pleasant, but even on my brand new thinkpad core 2 duo laptop with 2G of ram it struggles sometimes. I would plan on at least dual booting your new box with XP, if not replacing vista entirely if your focus is audio processing.

best of luck with your new setup! </div></div>

mi hear wah yuh a seh PDB..but bass, 1 gig is more that enough fi my use, see mi. I am not a graphic designer. I don't have any extraordinary software on my PC, therefore, Microsoft should not have made this cr ap with a requirment of 5 gig. this pc was purchased for a 7 year old to surf the net for research and play some simple educational software.

I didn't even put on MS office pan it yet. I should have been given the choice between vista and XP.


Yuh a talk bout warranty, if mi can find the number mi a call dem monday morning enuh. mi nah put nuh nuh more memory pan it.

Re: VISTA

Xman the message just keeps saying something along the lines of "vista is configuring drivers"

Re: VISTA

Yeah, there are some favorite software whe runs under XP that will not run under Vista, even though I configured them to run in "XP mode". For example: Nero v6. It runs but won't let you burn to the CD / DVD drive. Can't find any Vista updates or drivers updates for them. Mi naa goh out goh buy Nero 7, jus fi Vista fi work!

A few other programs won't install at all.

Re: VISTA

I bout my new pc in March and the only problem I have with Vista is when I'm trying to play my games on it. It's slower than my XP that I had. Oh and another thing when you just leave the computer on it takes forever for it to come back on. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70402-thinking.gif[/img] I think I might be doing something wrong, most times I just turn off the power and re boot the darn thing. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad2.gif[/img]

As far as everything else mine is pretty fast. What kind of PC did you get? Maybe that's the problem. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70402-thinking.gif[/img]
