What browsers do you use to visit the forum?

FYI, Vista works just fine, though I too was skeptical at first.
A few idiotic ideas were born from the developer's minds, but if you know how to use Google, you can get around them.
I'm getting along just fine with it, and haven't had any issues since I fixed the last thing.

A lot of the Mac anti-Vista attack ads are propaganda.


But this is off topic.

PeskySaurus:
Vista is fucking awful. You can tell yourself otherwise but, meh.

major:
I found Vista to be fine. I always had newer hardware so drivers really were not a issue, and I was using Vista since it was called Longhorn.

I never had any system stopping problems, or really bad drivers. Only bad thing was Pinnacle not making x64 bit drivers.. but there just a terrible company in general.

Rodney 1.666:
-User Acces Control (UAC) [lulz, UAC].
Just use Help to look for how to turn it off in the Control Panel (Not as simple as that sounds, but I did it.)

-Compatibility mode
Some programs/games won't run properly. Go into its properties and mess with the compatible tick boxes until it functions. (I usually end up checking all of them off.)


There is only one thing that pisses me off royally about Vista, and what an asinine concept it is.

I can't remember what it's called, but there's this thing hidden in Vista that supposedly protects the user from any infections that activate when an .exe is ran.

1. That's what AVG is for.
2. It sucks.

You know why it sucks? It had never activated before, but one day, Firefox just shut down suddenly. No warning, no asking me if I want to save what I was doing, nothing. It just disappeared, followed by a balloon message on what had happened, telling me that it shutdown the program to protect me.

...From what!?
No description of "problem", or any advice as to how to fix it. It just shut down Firefox at random, and continued to do so quite frequently.

Now, you can try to turn this thing off, but it's very hard to find, and even if you manage to track it down, you cannot
shut the damn thing off. It will tell you that it needs this to run properly. Bullshit.

You have to Google a command to enter in the freaking command prompt to deactivate this thing.


Ugh...
But at least I got rid of it.



*cough*
So, getting around those three things, you're good to go.

~Edit for "Help", not "Hep".

~Edit for "cannot", not "can to"...

Ruone Delacroix:
I use Opera mostly. If that doesn't work, then I use Firefox.
