| 790566 | 2009-07-10 09:36:00 | What are the good things you like about Vista? Basically... none. Except it came free with my notebook. It's been a bloody pain to get used to. Nevermind... I've endured much of the learning process so far (largely thanks to PF1 helpers) and I'll stick with it instead of going back to my solid XP (for now). |

| 790568 | 2009-07-10 09:50:00 | Control panel / windows defender / tools / options. Scroll down the bottom, untick use windows defender under admin options. Then save. Why? Its hopeless. I installed Avast instead. I would still install Avast or other, if you didnt install the AV part of Comodo (which I wouldnt use). Its not that great. I killed Windows search (the service) not indexing. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 790569 | 2009-07-10 21:23:00 | Too true. It is the electricity that causes the trouble. Take away that electrickery stuff and Vista behaves very well indeed. :clap It must perform better on battery power then. :p |

| 790570 | 2009-07-10 21:51:00 | Well, if it is not an electrical battery it should be safe ;) | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 790571 | 2009-07-10 21:53:00 | It's a chemical battery which gives out electricity. :stare: | pcuser42 (130) | ||

In the case of the water it may get you hopping, but quite the reverse with Vista. (Unless hopping mad counts) ;) |

| 790574 | 2009-07-11 01:52:00 | Over the years I have used computers with all consumer versions of Windows since 3.1. Last year I bought a new computer with Vista Home Premium installed and was instantly convinced that the professional moaners were just that. My computer is on 24/7 (with the monitor switched off when not required) and have found Vista stable and a big advance on XP. It has crashed only twice in a year and both times it was my own stupidity which was the cause. My impression is that the moaners are either Mac owners or Linus geeks who don't know a good operating system when they find one, and try to run badly written programs which would crash any system. |
