-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.
