mamolian M. Corp M. PIRE	Posted - 2007.07.03 15:45:00 - [31] Originally by: Chi Quan Quote: if you dont like vista, just don't install did that, yet the cache folder of eve moved with the last patch beacuse of vista compatibilty. for everybody, so it still affects me even if i deliberatly "stay away from it" C:\EVE\eve.exe /end /LUA:OFF add the " /end /LUA:OFF" to the end of the eve.exe shortcut on your desktop. Not 100% sure, but may require a fresh reinstall of the client to prevent the migration of that folder. -------------------------------
WGAnubis Marrith	Posted - 2007.07.03 16:16:00 - [32] Originally by: Reiisha The problems you are experiencing are caused by the Vista copy protection services and programs... DVD's are grainy on anything else than Media Center because 'Vista can't insure they're genuine, so it downgrades the image'. MP3's might be skipping a lot because Vista is trying to check whether the file is 'genuine' or not. In short: Congratulations for buying Vista! Have fun with your piece of junk while Microsoft installs yet another golden toilet in their offices. Doesnt it give you a warm fuzzy feeling to know that artists and music labels are so insecure and paranoid about their income that they employ "protection" software for maybe the 5% of the population that activly views ripped material and it screws up everything for the rest of us? Ah yes, if they dont protect their already insane income they wont be able to count their money on the back of a fifteen hundred a day hooker every night!
Mari Onette Amarr Gottland Production Transport Mines	Posted - 2007.07.03 19:00:00 - [33] Originally by: GazaUnit I didn't buy Vista, it came back with my laptop after I sent it in for repairs. Call tech support back up and demand they give you a real OS back. They should be able to send you recovery CD's for XP. ------ I am in blood!

Cypherous Minmatar Liberty Rogues Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.07.03 20:18:00 - [34] Not had any issues not even with my "questionable" music collection everything played fine, you do meet the minimum reqs for vista i presume? I would recommend 2GB of RAM at the least for vista as its a tad bloated :P --------- Liberty Rogues Website

I would recommend 2GB of RAM at the least for vista as its a tad bloated :P They're selling some laptops in PC World (UK) with as little as 512MB of RAM; and these are Vista laptops. It's ridiculous. Windows XP finds 512MB a struggle sometimes. I'd hate to try and run Vista on that little memory. NERF AMARR!
Derovius Vaden	Posted - 2007.07.03 21:12:00 - [36] Maybe I wouldn't hate Vista so much if Microsoft wasn't getting all Gestapo'ish with their suppliers about forcing new systems to use Vista. Give people the goddamn choice, if Vista is the bee's-knee's, then it will be an easy sell. If its a piece of ****, atleast people are still buying XP, and you're still making some money. What was that? Vista has all these spiffy new 3D desktops and useless crap that literate PC users don't give a crap about when it comes to a toss up between performance and eye-candy? Stop idiot proofing the system, and train the sheep.

Hah, my Computing teacher only has 256 ram, i laughed at him hehe tell him the rest of the computing world laughs at his tiny ermmm RAM :P TBH i think most of my Vista issues stem from my RAM possibly being completely screwed over, its had 2 PSU's pop in it so far and it still boots amazingly however under vista it likes to randomly hang to the point that everything falls apart and under XP it just says "Feckit somethings wrong here have a 0x0F4 error :P" gonna have to run memtest at some point but i'm hoping its just a single dodgy stick although i have 4 to test :( --------- Liberty Rogues Website
Praetorian Lolzor Amarr Imperial Academy	Posted - 2007.07.04 10:28:00 - [40] I like Vista, other than it freezing twice a day. ----

Half of the people with real authentic purchased content are getting royally molested by the DRM measures, while people with less than legal content aren't even getting buzzed. Congrats on another successful deployment, Microsoft! Yeah, this makes me angry. I've had more trouble with DRM stuff than I used to do with pirated stuff back in my student days. I've got iTunes songs I can't get back again, and my DVD's play **** in Vista. It's not the pirates who get hurt by DRM controls; it's the genuine users. This goes for games too. Genuine gamers have to suffer the likes of StarForce or whatever it's called. It's about time software developers took their heads out their butts and stepped over to our side of the field because it sure ain't greener here. NERF AMARR!
Thotam	Posted - 2007.07.05 09:59:00 - [43] Bought a new computer and running vista ultimate on it, had a lot of problem during the inital parts of the install where windows claimed my bios was not acpi compatible or something like that. I have a bunch of mp3's but there copied from my own originals, works okey with the mediaplayer, haven't tried eve yet but can run wow, anarchy online just fine, even 2 sessions at once. Using rather high end hardware in this computer that might help i guess, amd 5600+, 4gb ram and nvidia 8800GTX graphics card and 2 750gb disks.
Chi Quan Jade Phoenix Deutschland Event-Horizon	Posted - 2007.07.06 12:32:00 - [44] Originally by: Thotam Using rather high end hardware... offset the manufacurers inability to make a decent product by spending more money yourself? now that's not very logical. -- Tempus fugit --
Tobias Sjodin Ore Mongers R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.07.06 15:29:00 - [45] if EVE was developed by Microsoft, post-patch day issues would last for 2+ years. - Recruitment open again-
Kahani Transcendent Innovations Incorporated	Posted - 2007.07.06 16:27:00 - [46] Originally by: Tobias Sjodin if EVE was developed by Microsoft, post-patch day issues would last for 2+ years. And they would stop supporting the "old version" before all the known issues were fixed in an attempt to force an even worse product down your throat. ----- Death... By SNOO SNOO!!! Roids fear me. You probably have nothing to worry about, unless CCP lets me start stripping minerals off your ship.
Derovius Vaden	Posted - 2007.07.06 16:39:00 - [47] Originally by: Praetorian Lolzor I like Vista, other than it freezing twice a day. My first computer (that was mine alone, and not the families) had Windows ME on it. It crashed, literally, after each game I played when I exited. Later I learned that ME had a run-time life of about 8 hours, while windows NT had a run life of about 2 months, XP has a life of about 2 weeks and a UNIX server technically never needs to restart. And by run-life, I mean stability in the stack; so ME's stack became so buggered up that it became inoperable after 8 hours. Thats pathetic. Now we have ME 2, with ~12 hour life? Wow, 4 hours, thanks Microsoft.
Hydraxian Gallente Infinitus Odium	Posted - 2007.07.06 17:19:00 - [48] I think i used ME for approx 36hours before wiping my HD and reinstalling 98. But still XP ftw.... although im considering going for Vista on the shiny laptop im planning to buy

But still XP ftw.... although im considering going for Vista on the shiny laptop im planning to buy Seriously, just no. And I say this as an empathetic soul who not only wants Microsoft to fail miserably, but not listen to the whine about how horribly Vista is after you see first hand.
Patch86 Di-Tron Heavy Industries Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2007.07.06 17:55:00 - [50] The thing is, regardless of whether Vista is inherently awful (i.e., the new ME) or is just going through teething troubles (as the optimists will argue), Vista just isn't as good as XP yet. I'd recommend sticking with XP until either the point Vista becomes good (if it ever does), or the point where theres simply too much tempting DX10 software to ignore. ATM, neither is true. --------

Wow, 4 hours, thanks Microsoft. I'm not being sarcastic here but am I the only one on the planet left who switches off my computer after I'm finished? It can't be good for a computer to be left on constantly. I know my brother in law downloads tonnes of junk via torrent when he goes to bed, but then his computer gets fecked up every few months because it collapses under his growing virus collection. OMG! Some orange text. It must be important.

When you're doing more than just basic work on a computer, such as scientific computations and data analysis, your computer will end up staying on for atleast a day or two. I've seen graduate students start a normal equation solver program with 500+ equations and not get the solutions until a week later, if things don't mess up.
Patch86 Di-Tron Heavy Industries Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2007.07.06 22:46:00 - [53] Not to mention (for home users) server hubs. If I set up an old PC as a simple file server or similar, I'm as likely to use whatever OS I have at hand to run it (not being important enough to buy a new one). If whichever Windows version I'm using will do the trick, I'd probably use that. XP does just about, but not really. 2k was better at it. My other alternative is Linux, which is of course free, but can be a pain in the arse for server stuff, if you're not very experienced. It usually beat XP for me, with XP's 2 weeks or so up-time. Vista? Not a chance. --------
