Crashes left right and centre, and causes BSOD every 15 minutes or so. Everytime windows error reporting came up it blamed the crash on 'Unknown Device Driver' despite the fact that all the drivers were the MS versions that came with Vista. Installed the ATi Catalyst Driver in the hope that this would clear this, only for the problem to continue.
Installed, and then removed the K-Lite Codec pack recommended in another thread because it didn't work properly. Now find that Outlook 2007 crashes when starting, IE crashes when starting and the Windows Feeds Synchronization Service stops working (message keeps appearing every few minutes or so). Reinstalling Office at the moment to see if this cures the problem....
IE7 crashes on a number of pages, even on Microsoft generated pages and sites ie when logging in anywhere with the Live ID so have resorted to using Firefox.
Installation and running of a number of programs, even using compatibility mode, fails - so much for compatibility mode then! Adobe Premiere 2.0 being one example and PSP 11 being another.
All this in the RTM build... Not much to show for five years worth of development and 2 years worth of beta testing.
Has anyone else had these problems and any ideas on those I haven't sorted yet? Cheers!
Recently, my family and I bought a Windows Vista Home Premium, as my dad thought it was the best, as it was the newest. After protesting about how we didn't know anything about it, we finally bought it. However, after having, and using it for several weeks I think that Windows Vista Home Premium is not as good as XP. I think this due to many reasons, some of which are listed below:
Despite having many anti-virus software pre-installed with purchase, it proves poor at recognizing viruses, or indeed recognizing any errors at all.
It does not seem to get along with AOL internet (My current server at the moment) as I am occasionally being cut off the internet. Nor, does it seem, that it is compattible with many other things; My memory stick or MP3/MP4 player will not work, as the computer insists there is an error. The feature for creating CD's will not work either, and the warrant and guarrentee is only for the computer, so we cannot exchange the Vista Home Premium Package either.
that being just a small list of many problems, I would like to know if anybody is running, or has used vista, or just would like a saty on the matter, please reply...
