I can't play CoH anymore! The colors are really screwed up. Everything started off so bright I couldn't see a thing (everything was white). I fixed that but now when I'm moving around andsometimes just standing, colors will change. Example: A person's shirt wil go from black to yellow to back again a hundred times a second.

My computer is also very slow now. It's brand new, got it for Christmas.

I haven't had any issues with mine, hmmm. Not sure why it would be going slow, but I run McAfee total protection on my computer so that could be why I am not having any issues. Also, it may be that your computer sucks although it may be CoH because that game has been horrible for a while.
 
It doesn't suck, per se. It's new software, so there's the chance of a bug or two.

If you look at the specs for Vista, it takes up more memory than XP did, so you should be fine, providing you buy more RAM.
 
from what I've read, some of these problems should of been dealt with before it was ever released... it's already in need of a service pack.
 
It does indeed suck
My friend, by accident, deleted his recycling bin.
 
Just wait for the bugs/compatibility issues to pass, and then buy it.

My laptop was built for Vista, so mine works fine.
 
Two reasons...

1. Vist is new, it still has some bugs.
2. People tried to upgrade their old Xp computers with vista.
 
Don't post for the sake of being no help and being a troll at the same time.

Fine. I'll tell you why Windows Vista sucks.

It's spaghetti code that's flawed from the beginning that tries to steal as many GUI ideas and features from Mac OS X as it can while still trying to maintain backwards compatibility with the previous versions of Windows applications. What this results in is a sub-par to mediocre operating system that's slow, even more memory hungry than it's predecessors, and needs the latest and greatest hardware to run. It also means that it has all of the security and stability flaws of the previous operating systems while introducing brand new ones at the same time. Nearly 65% of all previously known Windows viruses, spyware, malware and trojan horses are already Vista compatible. Gamers are staying away from it in droves because it plays games so much slower than Windows XP. Corporate Enterprise is staying away from it because it offers a very harsh licensing agreement and steep cost while offering nothing compelling in the way of new features and introducing myriad new security holes that can be exploited. The average end user is staying away from it because it's expensive, has way too many different dumbed down versions, almost always requires a new computer to run it, and doesn't offer any compelling new features that can't be had with free or shareware third-party applications on Windows XP, anyway.

Don't like what I have to say? Prove me wrong. :)

Also, you can delete your recycling bin.

Actually, why is it called the recycling bin?
You dont recycle the data
 
It does suck
very much
but OS X wont win, what is that article talking about
OS X and actually any OS is far superior to windows these days but applications and companies are too windows centered for a change to be made
but actually
you know those Tiger hand held wrist watch games or whatever?
They have a better OS
my microwave has a better OS
what were they thinking
do they even hire programmers any more or do they just worry about the GUI

What I am amazed by is how many Windows users talk about how much they HATE Windows but they continue to use it and upgrade it over and over again, even when they have no real reason to do so like specific software they want to use or something. And, Microsoft can release the buggiest beta sh1t onto the market (like they've done with most of their OS's, including Vista) and people will say "Oh, it's new so it's bound to have a bug or two" even when it's crashing and eating their data. A bug or two is one thing, but the laundry list of problems with Vista is WAY too long, even for software that's newly released. Why is that forgivable? You wouldn't buy a new car that broke down all the time and had all kinds of problems but be okay with it because the manufacturer was going to release a "Service Pack" for it at some undetermined time. Why should an operating system be any different? It's like the warning signs of Stockholm Syndrome.

Its because most people are so used to it, they dont really mind
They have become desensitized to the ****tiness
The second reason is that most applications are windows, thats the only reason I keep XP on this HD
I have to bust out the Command and Conquer nahmsaying

apt
 
Yeah, a lot of people sign their posts when they're responding to me. I don't even notice it anymore. :)

jag
 
Yeah, but only because you pointed it out. Otherwise I wouldn't have paid it much attention. :)

Alright
while we're on the subject, OS X needs a package system similar to APT
K!
