Vista Sucks

Here I am twiddling my thumbs, bored. I cant get the OS to crash, no matter what I do. I even installed SP1 for adventure, and couldn't even get a rise out of the OS.

Everything just...works. I have nothing to fix, or anything left to tweak. What am I supposed to do? So bored...Vista is pathetic.


*Scurries off to find something else to do*

 

If it sucks that bad maybe i need to get it

 

vista rocks:dood

 

Actually, I did get Vista stuck in an infinite loop when it tried to install updates from 14 Feb. Machine kept rebooting claiming it was installing part 3 of an update and then kept on repeating the reboot cycle. Repair console did not repair! So had to resort to restoring from an old restore point and re-downloading the updates again Was almost going to re-format and re-install Vista.

Also, Comodo firewall seems to have some sort of problem and its self-diagnosis could not correct it but Vista claims it wanted to install a driver for it!? Will have to sort that out sometime.

Also, Vista SP1 looks like its going to break several software applications: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7205059.stm Looks like Windows XP SP2 all over again, history repeats itself. Bill's pose looks like he is saying "Hey, it's not my fault, honest!"

 

Install the Nokia mobile phone suite software. That'll give you a BSOD....

 

So which Firewall do you use with Vista?

 

LOL Adryn's never satisfied. Sounds like a masochist to me.

BTW, I use PCTools on both XP and Vista and love it, the GUI looks just like ZA does so basically zero learning curve. It's for outbound protection incase anything does get in and wants to phone home.

 

Man, if you can't break it, then it wasn't designed very well!
I have been wondering why I haven't had a system crash or lock up since I got Vista.
I am almost ready to go back to XP, so I can re-boot out of them.

 

I tried twice to d/l and install the free version of Zone Alarm and both times, it crashed and locked up. Had to unplug to free it. Then reboot.
Now using Comodo firewall pro. So far, no problems.

Go figure.

 

Im using PCTools FW+ with SP1. Bliss...

 

my machine will not run Vista....

Oh you cheated and went straight to SP1. You should have download the pre-requiste updates to SP1.......crashed Vista perfectly on a HP laptop. You never get a rise out of it again LITERALLY!

 

The only issue that I have ever had with Vista has been network/modem related, coupled with the fact that I do not use Vista as my primary OS. Seems Vista, Avast, and the Windows Defender all get in a fight for my limited bandwidth and lock the machine up tighter than a drum.

 

Come out of Hibernation mode while running a dream scene in the background. Happens about 1 out of 10 times for me. Other than that, I've been crash free.

I have this running on two Vista computers with no problems at all.

 

I told you it sucked! LOL

 

I've been running Vista for the past 3-4 months (wow can't believe its been that long) and I've had no problems so far. The only thing that disappointed me was at first Firefox would freeze and shut down on some sites (Major Geeks it hated) but it seems to have stopped. Otherwise everything else was simple.

 

ditto, I put Ultmate on a new build and not had a problem and Home came with my wife's laptop. No problem in 6 months.

 

Been running vista on 2 pcs for about 6 months only 2 crashes- one related to incompatible software i tried to install (roxio) and another one the repeats is a lock up while playing Universe at War (suspected game glitch or Vid card issue)

 

Uninstalled Comodo from Vista, had to follow the detailed regedit instructions posted at their forums and manual file deletion, ugh Comodo Firewall claimed it was having problems and using it to self-diagnose didn't won't, even when run as administrator. The uninstaller failed to uninstall everything and left junk everywhere :cry

Now installed PC Tools Firewall + on Vista, so far so good.

I have since uninstalled Comodo Firewall and installed PC Tools Firewall + on one of the Win XP machines as well, which solved one the mysterious network issues that it had, which was a bonus :cool

Probably go the whole hog and do all the networked PCs...

 

i would be greatful if you would Halo. i have had one to many issues with comodo and just want rid of it now.

 

Excuse the link to another forum but here are the uninstall steps: http://forums.comodo.com/help_for_v...ving_comodo_firewall_pro_3_info-t17220.0.html Note the Reg keys you cannot delete without real fiddling.
