820487 2009-10-14 11:22:00 I dont see or know why people whinge about Vista. Im running it on the 3 pcs here now. Its fine. 64 bit on this, and 32 bit on the other 2.

The other 2 PC's arent that great (an AMD socket 754 1.6 lol, with 1.25 GB). Its faster than what I thought it'd be. At least Vista installed drivers for it (the LAN, ACPI or something and audio). Since there are no Vista drivers for it). And the other is a P4 with 1 GB, and Vista installed the LAN and audio drivers for that as well. And there are no Vista drivers for this either.

I just killed UAC and indexing on all 3.. Havent had any probs (besides this 1, but I'll live :p)

820488 2009-10-14 11:25:00 UAC can be intrusive sometimes, everyone i know disables it lol hueybot3000 (3646)
820489 2009-10-14 11:29:00 I know its a major PITA since if its enabled some programs will give you access denied errors. Speedy Gonzales (78)
820490 2009-10-14 11:32:00 IMO it would work alot better if it didnt block things that you've double clicked, just seems pointless because you cant accidentally double click on something really hueybot3000 (3646)
820491 2009-10-14 18:51:00 Well looks like its a screwup in vista. Posted the same question in an MS newsgroup

Answer: Delete it from sendto, or dont use sendto when the PC is off lol. Which is obvious. But it doesnt help

Whingeing about Vista shows that you are one of the select few who can claim to be VERY clever with computers and smarter than the average bear. Certainly, I have had UAC and indexing off, but, like you say, drivers that work usually just appear!

But I do like Win 7! Have one on order and will put my Vista on my wife's machine.

820493 2009-10-14 19:20:00 Oh well. I'll live. I'll just chuck the shortcut on the desktop. Might get win7, when it comes out. If I can be bothered saving enough to buy it lol Speedy Gonzales (78)
