Vista issue

in Off-Topic Discussion

Today I decided to purchase Microsoft Windos Vista. I still have alot issues with this new system.

With windows XP I easily could enter the troubleshooting tab, with Vista not. This was very easy to do with Windows XP. Right click on the desktop > Properties > Settings > Advanced > Troubleshooting. Now with vista this is a other story. I have no clue where to find this troubleshooting map.

Does anyone know where to find this tab?

    When you hit Help and Support, its one of the 6 options in the window that pops up, icon is a blue Question Mark, hard to miss. What version do you have?

    Ok, you have Home Basic then. I have Home Premium and this is how its setup, as I said above. I highly doubt the start menu layout is much different besides Windows Media Center missing in Home Basic, but /shrug.

    Also, I'm looking for the Hardware Acceleration tab which was in XP below the Troubleshoot tab. I need to verify the hardware acceleration to full.
  • SpathotanSpathotan Member Posts: 3,928
    Yes, its on full by default, in fact you cant even turn it down.

    Vista == ME2

    Seriously. They have another OS planned for release in like 3yrs. That and Vista is a horrible piece of Microsoft dribble. I got it free by being a Computer Science Major and I don't even run it. My teacher doesn't run it and in fact nobody in all of the Computer Science Dept. (students & teachers) have it installed as anything more than an unused partition waiting for them to fix it.

    I hate Microsoft. They finally finally after 6yrs of updates got an OS working almost perfectly and what do they go and do? They release an unfinished piece of junk that looks pretty.

    Runs fine for me, more stable that XP so far from my experience. Vista handles program crashes/locks alot better than XP thats for sure.

    only one person in our tech department uses it. 

    I find it amazing that by 2020 first world countries will be competing to get immigrants.

    Can see why... I'd like to give all the advice to wait at least two months before buying Windos Vista. It is not stable  and many programs are not able to run with Vista yet.

    I got Vista when it was released and found no issues with the OS at all. Drivers from nVidia and Creative is another question alltogether.

    Newest driver from nVidia fixed the FPS issues for me.
