What problems have you had to date with Vista?

I figured out that I could save word docs in word 93-2007 format so others could open/view them but it is frustrating that the default is docx..it wasnt that way with XP.

 

well im now using msn 7.5 since it wont let me use live, and yeah when my next adsense check comes im off to get a mac g5

 

wow..at least im not alone
now my msn is a pain i also hadda revert
vista is junk

 

It's Word 2003 and Word 2007 which have the different file extensions, not XP and Vista!!!

 

yeah but he was using new word with vista..still that problem isnt the fault of the OS..but still..microsoft were idiots to do that

 

Only problem I have had with Vista is accesing the Task Manager. Its a little awkward switching the whole system to standby just to get it.

 

Ctrl+shift+esc.

 

no ctrl+alt+del

 

Thanks live-cms_com.

nadalbg crtl+alt+del does work. It just performs more then the specific function of bringing up the task manager.

 

thats so weird though...i hate that part of it too

 

Runs slower, hangs up every now and then, Throws "internal error for internal errors"

These are some of the problems I've had coz of Vista..

If anyone has problems getting drivers buy Driver Detective, I have got it and used it on loads of my families and friends PC's and it finds every driver almost instantly.

As for myself, I either use Ubuntu Linux or Windows XP, I am going to buy a new machine soon - I was interested in a Macintosh although I need a Windows PC for my University course, for running Visual Basic etc, and I can't be bothered to have a dual boot or run WINE type programs.

But if I ever get enough cash spare I'll buy a Mac as a seperate standalone machine and play around with it. I have to admit they do look a lot sexier than any other PC's I have seen before.

 

NONE. ive been using vista for 9 months now, and can honestly say ive never had a problem or an issue with it. it runs all of my software, games, graphic design software, it runs all of my hardware, printers, webcams, mics, bluetooth mouse and keyboard, scanners, ipod, sat nav, road angel, mobile fone and have NEVER had a problem with any of it.

i would recommend vista to anybody!

 

@flash902007
you're actually the first person ive heard of whose never had any trouble with vista..what are the specs of the machine ur running?

 

That can't be true you have had to have some kind of problem...its a new OS there are always problems

 

Same here. I have been running it for six months and not one internal error or crash yet. And I have gotten multiple security updates as to programs and bugs that have tried to crash my computer but where stopped by Windows Defender. No other Anti virus has been installed yet.

 

wow, you guys are lucky..vista was a huge headache for me..congrats though

 

same here huige headache switched back to xp a week after i got vista on my new computer

 

As a business, we have incompatibility issues with it. There are a TON of hardware and software out there that doesn't work with it and this is costing time and money.

 

Ive had problems with my desktop icons. Everytime I restart or start my pc my icons are all over the place.
