Alrighty now.

8 GB Corsair Vengance
i5 2500K
ASUS P8Z68-pro
Corsair H-80 hydro cooling
Corsair 128 SSD

some kinda intel connx thing for the internet to hook up to (plugs into mobo)

So "issues"

1.I have Win 7 on SDD for gaming and this is where I am typing from. Seems the Vista HDD can't connect to internet, some kind of ethernet problem...huh?

2. Win 7 screen is not stretching out to edge of screen. Is that a res tweak?

Too tired to continue now, glad to finally have this up though. Peace out

WOW...troubles over now i hope. So..how do you guys like Windows 8 so far?
Bloody Posted - Sep 04 2011 : 22:13:59
I waited a long time to go to Vista, and most the issues I had were minor and related to 64bit. W7 64bit has been tops though!
Petrified-OMO Posted - Sep 03 2011 : 14:26:45
What Expired said.
But I would add that I had a machine, with the right drivers, running Vista then upgraded to Win7. I did notice a performance increase with Win7 over Vista - but if you are looking for only a performance increase, then upgrading is not required.

Nose's issue was more easily solved by wiping Vista.
HEARTBURN-OMO Posted - Sep 03 2011 : 07:15:16
ahhh....I have a completly updated machine, therefore it works fine. Makes sense to me...
Expired-OMO Posted - Sep 02 2011 : 08:55:17
It's not that Vista doen't work, it was a stop gap measure before Win 7 was finished and their driver support for older equipment was disimal. Thats why the majority of corporate IT's passed on it and waited for Win 7. If Vista was already on a system you were getting then it was OK but it wasn't worth the price and effort to change from Win XP.
HEARTBURN-OMO Posted - Sep 02 2011 : 08:07:25
i guess I'm just a true idiot as I have Win 7 on the laptop and Vista on my gaming machine and never have had any issues with Vista.....what am I missing.
Nosehair-OMO Posted - Aug 31 2011 : 17:53:25
up and running now. tweaking and updating and such
Petrified-OMO Posted - Aug 31 2011 : 17:12:32
Win7 truly is better. Win 7 is to Vista what WinXP SP2 is to Windows Millennium.

Win8 will be interesting as it will be akin to going from Office 2003 to office 2007 with the ribbon bar.

My head hurts.
Nosehair-OMO Posted - Aug 29 2011 : 09:47:14
LOL HB yer KILLIN' me. I got the Win 7 upgrade today. I am going to be such the L33T player. I just hope you guys can keep up.
LOL
HEARTBURN-OMO Posted - Aug 29 2011 : 07:02:54
I think at this point what I would do,,,,and I say that with little knowledge, is go buy wipedrive and completely wipe out your HD and just start over...just say'n..lol
Nosehair-OMO Posted - Aug 29 2011 : 03:15:54
OK I'll get the upgrade for my HDD that I am running as secondary drive for storage on the comp. SSD is for gaming only. I have taken up a bit of space with the drive updates to ATI 5780 though. Can I clear that space once I get the win 7 upgrade done and update drivers from there?
Expired-OMO Posted - Aug 28 2011 : 19:16:29
You have me really confused. If your getting Win 7 upgrade why are you wanting to put vista on. From my experience Vista sucked and wasn't worth the switch from XP. However Win 7 is a real improvement expecially when you go past 3 gig memory
Nosehair-OMO Posted - Aug 28 2011 : 17:38:44
Installed latest AMD driver for 5870 and used recommended resolution, but still have the black boarder too. I can't get over to BC3 boards btw as I don't have the Vista HDD up. I'll probably get the upgrade Monday for Windows 7. Should I just get a new HDD and install vista on that?
Nosehair-OMO Posted - Aug 28 2011 : 08:15:57
windows con not read theintel file .DIN
it's only 4kb is that it?
I copied to thumb drive but it won't even open on that.
I do have all the "!" btw in Vista network adapter in Device Manager
Nosehair-OMO Posted - Aug 28 2011 : 06:27:48
thanks Petri, I'll try that. SSD update didn't fix btw.
Petrified-OMO Posted - Aug 28 2011 : 02:31:55
You can DL the specific drivers from the manufacturer's website and store it on a thumb drive or CD to install on Vista.
As for the SSD: give it a whirl and let us know.
Nosehair-OMO Posted - Aug 27 2011 : 19:19:48
OK updated everything on ASUS list. How do I update drivers in Vista without internet connection on the HDD. Is this SSD update going to fix?
Bloody Posted - Aug 27 2011 : 08:28:46
What he said!
Petrified-OMO Posted - Aug 27 2011 : 04:44:46

Hey is this network adapter not working on VIsta drive because it is 32bit and the default boot SSD is Win 7 64bit? I'm just askin' that's all.

Win7's network drivers are taking precedence so you will need to make sure that in Vista, you install the vista specific drivers in the device manager. And, as someone else mentioned: get the latest drivers straight from the manufacturer's website.

But seriously, the sooner you lose vista on that machine, the better you will feel about it. Heck, WinXP is better.
