I hate vista so much

I bought vista home basic, just so I could play Halo 2 online. Anyway I keep on getting glitches in some games, like Counter Strike Source, and if I play Halo 2 long enough I get a glitch in that too.

My laptop is a gaming laptop, so I know its not the laptop.

Overall vista is just not as good as it should be.

 

You can't play games on Home Basic..........

 

Vista is not good, i prefer XP.

 

What do you mean you can't play games on it? That's a big load of shite.

 

there is a fix to get XP to play halo 2. Bad luck mate.

Just get a 360 and play halo. Or play TF2, UT3, BF2, GOW,

 

I think he means that Vista is a resource hog, so basically you can't because it would be too slow.

 

Oh... I ran Vista Ultimate on a machine with 512mb of RAM with full features and I could do everything fine. I'm good like that.

 

I'm running Home Premium and running idol it uses almost a gig of ram, but I have 3 gigs so it runs fine.

 

I love Vista. I don't understand why no one likes it... I just can't play some games on it because my comp sucks.

 

The home basic version is not worth buying. Better to go for Xp pro or home premium instead. A gaming laptop should not be equipped with anything less than xp pro or Vista home premium.

 

I kinda did to, it takes time to get use to it. If you use it as your main instead of XP youll like it

 

I'd stick with XP whenever possible. I'm going to skip vista entirely.

 

Not in the future you won't

 

I agree, sooner or later, people will have to use Vista, but for now, I'll stick with my Windows XP that I pimped out with OS X GUI.

 

Join the club. Vista is such crap is making not want to buy a new computer.

 

am with vista ultimate, and just four hour later i was playing counter strike so nicely.. haven't got any glitches like you said..

well, once vista sp2 will be relaese, you all people will install first rather then us

 

I got Home Premium on my laptop and it works fine. My Vista machine tends to crash significantly less than my XP machine. If you want to get better performance out of it end all the processes you don't need and also when you want to play a game end the dvm.exe process (you may have to do it twice) as well as things like sidebar.exe.

Mine runs idle with about 44-48 processes and nice and smoothly. - Only have 1 gig of ddr2 in it.

I'm starting to like Vista alot more as I use it and almost prefer it over XP. I love the fact that it's self repairing when I get the evil blue screen of death.

If you don't want vista on a machine build a computer yourself and go buy a copy of Windows XP or if your replacing your old computer use that copy of XP if it had it. If you are unable to build one then i'm pretty sure your local computer store could do it for you and put XP on it instead.

 

It's very difficult to make compatibility a reality. It's now up to the programs to upgrade to Vista. That's why I don't want to have Vista as I'm waiting for the whole softwares to be really compatible with Vista without glitches.

 

Actully it's not its true.

 

I got Vista Ultimate and its good i can play COD 4 and Crysis on it but i still prefer XP.
