Ok so I upgraded my main PC to Vista Ultimate x64 Edition
Does Eve work...does it chuff.
Points to note:
1. Same machine as before so not hardware (was using XP x64 before with no issues)
2. Multiple machines running on the same network and running XP with Eve just fine.
3. Done the delete Machonet folder etc and still no joy.
I never even make it to the char screen. My client throws me out when getting the Machonet folder from the server.
Can I have a show of hands for those running Vista and Eve together with and without problems?
Cheers

No issues here, vista 64 ultimate. I am using the /end /LUA:OFF off command to keep my settings/cache in its original place though.

Vista worked soso on my notebook, but starting EVE took long and framerates were not as I expected.
Installed w2k and now runs incredibly fast.
But installing w2k on a system with brandnew harware is tricky.
If you want to get better performance than vista, but with an easy install, then it is best to take XP.

Im running Vista x64 home premium, it works fine for me.
One problem you might run into when installing a few programs though, is user account control (UAC), its supposed to protect your machine from virus's and acts of stupidity, unfortunately its a complete pain as it can break installers simply because they try to install a file in a location it doesn't like etc... the first thing i did was switch it off, and it made life a whole lot easier.

Ultimate 32 and working just fine, just as good as under XP.
I do have a new problem since I built a new machine of the music continually restarting at the beginning of the next track every time I do something but I suspect that is my Realtek and nothing to do with Vista.
New and smaller by request =p

If you have any technical problems you are welcome to file a petition. Also if you are using the same hardware Vista does have bigger requirements and you can disable a lot of these functions, although it can be time consuming. |

Ran eve on Vista Ultimate x64 fine as. no OS interaction issues to speak of. Though to move My Documents folder default elsewere without busting the phising filter and IE. But yeah its fine as.
Though it will run faster on XP, even if both are tweaked and the XP is the 32bit version. Not huge difference, more todo with faster DX9 on XP than VISTA which is native DX10. Though runs DX9 stuff fine.
Though I realy do reccomend sepperate HD's for OS, Applications, Swap/TEMP/TMP/scratch space. Can add RAID all you like, 2 heads in the right place to begin with not clasing beats having 2 heads doing 2 jobs one at a time in RAID in some situations.
Found 2Gb just fine for a total amount of ram and if you have 4 slot mobo can always add more later when price/needs be.
Of note I did a fresh install, did XP install then Vista as fresh install dual boot, isolated partitions for OS/APPs respectivly.
Heard mixed things on upgrade installs, you can do new install from upgrade disc set btw, google flooded with that nugget.
I would highly reccomend dual boot. Even if you just run VISTA by having 2 installs. One for general and one dedicated for games. Add's so much sanity. That and if its just games, can skip the AV worries as your not touching email or web, least nothing you dont trust.
You GFX card might actualy be one of the rare breed were the manufacturer didn;t just splat out the Nvidia reference design. So might have few tweaks it needs in the driver. So i'd suggest a readup on that. that said if its a 8800 I know there all reference designs, so Nvidia drivers just fine. More laptops were fun and games truely happen, and thats mainly due to the screens and the more customisable offerings nvidia offer.
One thing to remember, if your XP wasn;t 100% stable, wacking vista ontop wont make it any more stable; Maybe a BIOS update or config. many things. Not saying your's wasn't 100% solid, just something to keep inmind. Good test is grab a umbuntu live distro and boot and play with that, also leave the memtest running (selectable as boot option), Vista also has memtest option - but I prefer more options.
Also check the search and index defaults you have on, Vista dont give you much choice on install and as with any OS. You get stuff you need and stuff you have to go add-in.
But as a whole found it a fun OS, UNIX like in its timeslicing response. That and DX10 does fix ALOT of underlying design flaws that grew into DX9. Avoids alot of overheads, and ignore the DX10.1 ****, realy aint nothing anybody bothering with. only just getting DX10 stuff and games wise it offers nothing, that and TBH functinality even though people going current DX10 cards cnt do it, well. Current DX10 cards are kinda programable, so not stressing at all :).

I've been running Vista before it was called Vista, anyways sound to me like your have some serious issues, If you have mapped your Documents Folder to another drive make sure its on.
That happened with me and because eve doesnt ask you where to put the Eve folder in Documents it just does and if you try and run your client your gonna have some issues.
Only issue I have come across other than not being able to run multiple client at the same time with out one of disconecting automatically.
Cheers
