Like windows vista? I hate it. I want to but a new laptop but i have to pay an extra 165$ to get windows xp instead of vista. I can't even see whole pages. HELP! |

99 percent of the complaints about vista are caused by lack of knowledge from the user i don't know an answer as i'm still on xp |

dunno never used it. i'm getting xp on my new machine |

true, but it doesn't reflect well on microsoft that the O/S is such a chore for new users to navigate. Even if all the features of XP are still present, and then some, it's still a definite step back in usability, at least temporarily, until you've grown accustomed to it. |

when buying a new laptop make sure Windows XP drivers are available for it, then 'acquire' WinXP for it later. |

there's this vice magazine contest that i really want to enter (it's to make your own issue) but I can't navigate the page, because I can't scroll left or right, and i'm not sure if it's because I don't know how to navigate vista or because of the flash player I have. |

try downloading a different browser? Firefox, Opera or something? |

I just bought a refurb PC for my mom last month and it came with vista.... then my laptop got destroyed so now i'm buying a new laptop in a few days and they only come with vista... i'm not good with computers at all. |

I use firefox, and I dl'd greasemonkey for it but I don't know how to use it.... Hedphukkerr came over and fixed it for me last time but now he's back home, and I have no idea what i'm doing. |

Vista's not that bad providing the hardware can cope, your best bet is to ask at the shop 'can I put Windows XP on later if I want?' |

It's just one of those new dell inspirions...i'm buying it online. Hopefully they have good online messenger services. But I really want to fix this PC cause the contest only lasts another month or so, and it's going to take a long time to finish. |

viceland.com... page. |

i can only see the middle of the page, and it won't let me scroll left or right. |

vista uses ram differently, it uses ram you're not using anyway for other stuff, this is called fetching. |
||||||||
|

|
i recommend getting the google chrome browser as everything works in it |
||||||||

looks like adobe flash 10 is required, and download and install. Restart your browser after it's done. |

the problem with vista is that it's a pointless upgrade. It dumbs down the OS in a lot of ways. Directx 10 is pointless thus far, the developers have shown us that much. Aside from some network security issues (which you can still have even on vista), the only real benefit is that you can use 8gb of ram, which XP cannot do. tragedy, heres what you do: Make sure you have a bit torrent client like uTorrent installed. go to google, type in "windows XP torrent". (unless you're already a part of demonoid or torrentleech, in that case look there first). Look for one with a fair amount of seeds and some instructions in the comments section. Follow the instructions, install Windows XP. |

would mininova have it? sheff: I judt dl'd that and it still didnt work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah mininova will have one, or better yet thepiratebay.org... look for one with at least service pack 2 included. Just read the comments to make sure it's legit. |

if it's not working in firefox have you tried opening the page with internet explorer? It will still be there in programs somewhere. |
