Need Vista help FIXED!

[ChrisH]

Happy to read you fixed it!!

Vista is a PAIN in the rear! I have a 64 bit system too and am finding a lot of things that worked without a problem on XP will not work on here. I am going to have to hang on to the old computer just to do things I can't get done on Vista.

I kept running into that problem like you. I finally learned just to always make sure I am on as administrator.. I find that terriably annoying.. I find Vista annoying, always asking permission to do ANYTHING! There are still, like I said, a lot of things that just won't work on here. That 64bit system seems to make everything so much more complicated! Everything I want to install, I have to cross my fingers that it will work with a 64bit system.. They need to FIX that!

I got a new computer because I needed more space and needed to make copies of a river DVD we made in 2003... now I am wishing I had just upgraded my old one.

I love Vista! I got a new computer for the same reason as you and I was so not looking forward to Vista being it but now I am so pleased with it. I don't mind the permission thing at all, it makes it that bit more secure and only takes a sec to click yes or no.
Having said all that I have the 32bit system, perhaps that makes the difference.

ps you might find Vista Magazine (link in my earlier post) to be of some help, it contains lots of tips and hints.

I cant help with Vista, but you can rebuild it with vLite so it is less bloated and less cumbersome.

I used nlite to shave alot of extras from my XP disc.
