Enough of Vista

[Youngie1337]

Just had a version of XP with SP3 on ma laptop alongside Windows Vista, but for some reason dual booting did not work. I know how to partition fine, how to manage boot sectors etc... But it was really weird lol, it was just booting up from Windows XP and no other OS was showing. I just did a rewrite of Windows Vista on a new partition and it picked them both up this time . I have now removed Windows XP and just running Vista... It's amazing how fast Vista is on first install, although I can't say that for my first ever laptop install lol , took about an hour to get onto desktop lol.

Vista is a great operating system, but everything has it's downfalls, with Vista like someone mentioned it's not very good for gaming. I had no problem really apart from smoke lag.

As long as you have the right specs and correct personal settings, Vista is a dream come true.

:wavey:

XP's boot manager overwrites Vista's, that's why you had that problem. When dual booting you're sposed to install XP first which is why it worked when you installed Vista

I've had no gaming issues with Vista at all, aside from a 1-3 FPS drop on XP. I've not even had XP on this PC for a good 6 months now...

I already knew that , but I did it with my other computer which I sold I had Vista Ultimate and then installed XP which detected both .

Which is why I was confused lol, but hey my experiences are weird .

I've just switched to vista business 64 from xp due to bsoding with my antivirus. the only major problem i have with vista is issues with the clock it loses 10-15 mins everytime i turn it on or off but the bios clock is fine :S dunno whats wrong there.

I hope the next incarnation of windows is better like some of the features of server 2008

What did your screen dumps say mate? Were you getting Multiple IRP Call Request errors at all? What antivirus were you using...Kapersky?

avp and some klis file kept causing issues with kapersky, not had any issues with vista though except this damned system clock losing 10-15mins at a time
