What problems have you had to date with Vista?

Vista Removed Hyperterminal. I am a hardware person and I had to spend 1/2 hour to install another terminal.

 

All my autosaved network connectons have never been deleted. Seriously this is one part of Vista where I do not have a single hitch. And it connects to networks superfast. Plus its diagnostic tools work great.

 

Oh, no, they're never deleted, it merely fails to auto-connect. It is by no means superfast and is inferior in every way to the Intel PRO Wireless manager that I have on my D610.

 

You need 2 Gigs of Ram to run Vista efficiently,3 Gigs is recommended. For some hardware you have to download a new driver.

 

I have the same thing. I use Intel Pro Wireless Manager. But Vista always auto connects to my home network and any other network I told it to.

 

It may just be a bug with my set-up as it seems to connect fine from anywhere apart from home, where I have to individually connect it each time.

 

I'm currently under XP and i plan to buy a new sound card (M-Audio Revolution 5.1), but I heard that sound cards are useless with Vista so how the sound is processed with this OS, and all I want to know is does this card will works with Vista ?

 

That is what I am guessing. I remember hearing something that Vista might not work well with older routers although I cannot prove this.

 

Had a problem with my dual cards using SLi, went back to Windows XP and everything is fine now, I think NViDIA fixed this issue though, not planning on testing anyway.

 

Well my printer which is a lexmark all in one x5470 wouldnt work, i had to somehow find some drivers but they didnt work either. I think i used my bros XP machine and printed off through the network. But i think there are updates now.

 

I think nVidia did fix that one, because my friend is running 8800s in SLi and just upgraded to Ultimate with no problems.

 

I think that is more than likely, particularly considering the fact that it also didn't like my printer. While the router isn't that old, I would still suspect that it may be a problem (One which I cannot, unfortunately, solve if that is the case because I am not prepared to replace a perfectly working router).

 

very true it makes me mad when I have to keep re-adding my wireless and thats after it took me forever to set it up

 

Same, along with a few incompatibility issues. Either way, I'm back on XP.

 

While I was testing vista it crashed a couple of times and gave me some blue screens, so I got back to XP and my PC was as good as new. And was working quite fast, when I remember that it used to load 5 minutes with vista.

 

Visual Studio 2000 is not compatible with Vista. Thats the major problem that i had with Vista. Although VS2000 is outdated, but still some of us can not switch to .net due to lack of time.

 

Well I have not noticed any of those problems. My wireless router works perfectly with Vista. I a yet to hook up my printer to my router though. Might do it sometime soon.

 

Glad to know I'm not the only one.

Don't even bother, it won't work unless you plan on buying a new printer and upgrading every computer on the network to Vista.

 

My PC

Intel 2.86 Ghz
1GB Ram
250GB HD
7800GS

Problems I had with vista, it made my PC so slow compared to XP, I was unable to play games which run perfectly in XP, etc etc

 

Compatibility issues....so many programs that run perfectly on Xp send vista haywire
