Vista
Anyone having issues with Vista at the moment? I have had so many updates come through the last couple of days and now its continually crashing. I was about to reformat the drive but was thinking of putting it back to XP...

Re: Vista
Yeah I got the updates and SP2, but I've had no problems at all.
(using Vista Premium 64-bit) It might be an incompatible driver issue, so try unplugging any usb hardware things (like printers, scanners) before switching on |

Re: Vista
We run one of the PCs at work with Ubuntu and we had a bit of a shock the other day when it randomly made a screen saver of images and most of them were very rude
 Good job the boss never saw them! We've deleted that function now

Re: Vista
Mine is fine. Although I have had a few issues with BT broadband this week. They had to put me on another bandwidth or summat, casue for some reason it wouldn't let me go on the net. All fine now though
Have had a few issues with Vista in the past, but that was when it was brand new on the market, I've had it on my laptop since new(about two years now), and its got better with age..lol

Re: Vista
Mine did exactly this a month or so back, I tried loads of different things and ended up having to completely reload Vista. Then obviously I had to re-download all the updates from MS. It's been ok since - touch wood!

Ive just rolled it back to mid April using the backup button. It's a Stinkpad W500 and we use it as our main server. It was just randomly freezing but has been like that since Saturday and now progressively worse. Ill see how it goes as a drone for a day or two. |
