I gave up on Vista
I installed Vista on my backup computer,identical to the one in my sig. Two weeks of tweaking and frustration and I decided I had enough. It would not install my HP scanner. It did install my HP printer but it had problems. I got tired of having to give Vista permission to do anything on MY machine (I tried the BCDedit thingy to no avail,seems I,as administrator didn't have permission to do this either) On top of all this,it was extremely slow. I installed it on a freshly zero-filled harddrive. I am used to my XP responding instantly to a mouse click. I decided to end all the frustration today and re-formatted again and re-installed XP and now my computer is flying again. Maybe I'm too old or too dumb to grasp it but I ran out of patience. I realize it's only a beta version,but for now I will stick to my good old tried & proved XP.

I have mixed emotions about Vista. It does have some nice new features though I have found it to run much slower then XP on an identical machine.
Waiting to see if this is just beta bugs or not... -Kev

did you read my thread...(Sticky)...it tells you how to by-pass the UAP....and driver signing...if you can't find a Vista driver...you use the xp driver and then locate the EXE file and run it in XP compatability mode....it's that easy...
I just ran into my first serious issue with Vista and system restore...but now I know....It's not going to be the perfect OS..it's a beta....which means it's for testing...it's going to have bugs...Now RC-1 is going to be alot better....

I tried the commands for bypassing UAP and either got "bad Command" or I don't have permission messages. I found it too frustrating after 2 weeks. I'll wait.

you have to go to "control panel"..."security" uncheck UAC...
reboot then do the rest....you will get a "Bad command" if not done right...then use the other command after you disable account user protection.... Sorry to hear your having troubles... but if you still want to try I would suggest trying it on a spare rig.... |
