| 790557 | 2009-07-10 05:22:00 | That message appears, because your mobo supports HD Audio / the audio ports on it support HD Audio, not because youre using Vista. It'll bring up the same thing in XP. Thats what happens if you plug / unplug whatever on the back ports. I think you can disable that under the Audio / HD Audio settings. This may depend on WHAT version of the Audio drivers are installed tho. Thanks, Speedy. You're right, of course, the messages are generated by the Realtek HD Audio Manager, and I shouldn't blame Vista for this one. In fact, I quite like Vista, though Win 7 is better. I haven't been able to find out how to kill the messages, but it really isn't worth worrying about. |

| 790558 | 2009-07-10 05:25:00 | Yup I couldnt find the option either. Only other way is to go into the registry and kill balloon tips (disable an entry). This will kill all balloon tips, not just that message. Or run a vbs script / reg file (there's one for XP), not too sure if it works in Vista tho | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 790559 | 2009-07-10 05:48:00 | Say to your self,I am one of the 10% who doesnt have it and we must be right,on average. I don't have to say it - I just revel in the warm glow of not having it. :thanks That works admirably for me, but YMMV. Average is grim. Almost 50% of the population is sub normal. Who wants to go delving into them sort of murky statistics? |

| 790560 | 2009-07-10 06:27:00 | I I do not understand why it has such a bad reputation. I don't think that Vista is all that different from XP, really. Us techs do. Uh, yes it is. Take the Repair feature in it for instance. That doesn't work. Lets just forget it, Win7 is here and thats all that matters. |

| 790561 | 2009-07-10 06:36:00 | Dunno how happy people would be if they waited 7 years for the new model of car to come out, Only to find all the promised features were missing, It was heavier and slower then the last model, Had no discernible improvements, Constantly hassled you, Half the controls were moved for the sake of it, all the faults of the old model were carried over. Then it required 2 major overhauls in order to iron out some major wrinkles, meanwhile the manufacturer was working round the clock to replace it as soon as possible. But hey, as long as it has a snazzy paint job, It must be better. |

| 790562 | 2009-07-10 06:51:00 | Small things count. Vista added a new option when right-clicking a shortcut, which takes you to where the shortcut actually is. Also Start Search is very useful. This thread is an example of why Vista has a bad reputation: people blame problems on Vista when it is actually caused by something else. |

| 790563 | 2009-07-10 07:06:00 | Only reason I'm using it, is because its the 64 bit version. And I've got more than 4 GB. And I downloaded the ISO from MS :p Otherwise, I would probably be using XP Pro x64. Tried DVD Maker the other day. At least that works. And the templates arent too bad. Actually theyre better than Nero's. Saves me installing something else. The only thing I've disabled is Defender and indexing | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 790564 | 2009-07-10 07:13:00 | Small things count . . . people blame problems on Vista when it is actually caused by something else . Too true . It is the electricity that causes the trouble . Take away that electrickery stuff and Vista behaves very well indeed . :clap |

They must have got that idea from the "find Target" option available by right clicking on a shortcut, You know, the one that's been there for their last 3 or 4 operating systems. Mark me down as unimpressed if the worlds biggest software company with unlimited resources spend 7 years and billions of dollars building a new Flagship product and moving the find target up a single level is what we get to celebrate.. |
