Vista frustrations

[bogart]

Seriously thinking of giving up with my 64bit Vista. Get really annoyed with it at times , feel like doing a Basil Fawlty and hitting seven bells out of the PC. Problems are namely

1 Machine locks up/freezes for no apparent reason, requires a restart

2. When been asleep for a while says my wireless card does not exist and that wireless driver
need re-installing, again a restart is required.

3. Current new problem is a jittering cursor, when the little circle is doing its thing, it and the
cursor have an attack of the jitters.

4. And finally if I try to attach a file to an email or maybe send a picture on an IM setup again the
whole thing freezes, not every time but a good percentage of the time.

Never had any probs with XP, though the Vista is now installed on a new PC so unsure if any of
these problems could be attributed to hardware as well, wouldn't want to go accusing Vista of something it is not responsible for!

I've been running Vista x64 Ultimate since it was released & the only problem I've ever had was with the early X-Fi drivers. Apart from that it's been solid. Never had any problems similar.

Anything in the event log? Other than that... the usual advice applies - chkdsk /r and memtest86++. Also double check temperatures.

Sounds like driver/application incompatability or a hardware issue.

As I said in a previous post, I've been using Vista x64 for some time now and would never go back to XP.

Even my company has gone Vista

Second that, have had no probs with Vista 64

I suspect it doesn't like some of your hardware - will be hard tracking it down but suggest removing the wireless card then seeing if your problems persist. Vista 64 is rock solid once it's up n running!

Good to hear things like "Vista 64 is rock solid once it's up n running!" as I'm going to make the leap to Vista 64 over Christmas.
