Well basically, i got a new comp. i bought the dell XPSONE (not for gaming solely), i ogt vista with it...

Basically i got problems with vista, it bascially messed everything. When installing UAC would automatically block the installation without informing me and so i became frustrated taht my games wern't working but as soon as i turned it off they began to work. However i came across another problem my graphics card. i have the Intel G33/G31 Express Chipset Family games tend to have certain graphics card requirements (specifcally BF2142), but i was wondering is my fx card compatible with other fx cards like; "256 MB video card supporting 1.4 shaders (ATI Radeon X700 / NVIDIA GeForce 6600GT or above)."

Also i was wondering has anyone else encountered problems with vista? and how did you deal with them?

Thanks alot! Your help and advice is much appreiciated!

    Learn to work out your problems in Vista.  I suggest using google search.  Learning to turn off extra security like UAC is something you will have to do anyway since it infects even some Linux Kernels.

    I have another question, is my Intel G31/33 Express Chipset Family ok to use if the requirements are the following: 256 MB video card supporting 1.4 shaders (ATI Radeon X700 / NVIDIA GeForce 6600GT or above)?

    thanks!
