Since upgrading to XP last Christmas XP locked up only about 5 or 6 times. From August to Christmas prior to upgrading to XP, Vista locked up that many times a week. Not very nice when trying to take notes at school. Methinks you have more issues than the operating system. I haven't had XP lock up that many times since I first installed it in 2001. And while I'm no fan of Vista, I haven't had much trouble with it, just don't like the slowness and the heavy feel of it. I just upgraded to 7 on my Vista notebook. It's much faster and more responsive than Vista, but there are a few things about it I'm not crazy about either. SC Tom When the same computer has mega problems on Vista and very few problems on XP, the problem is Vista. |

Laptop upgrade to Win 7
In article ,
says... When the same computer has mega problems on Vista and very few problems on XP, the problem is Vista. Actually, the problem is not Vista, as not a single person has told you that Vista is suited for any specific computer that was running XP and not certified for Vista. Don't get me wrong, while there could be issues with Vista, the vast majority of them are bad drivers provided by third party vendors, bad implementations of hardware interfaces, and people trying to install Vista on machines that were not specifically designed for Vista - oh, and people trying to move from x32 to x64 that don't understand the issues that move brings. -- You can't trust your best friends, your five senses, only the little voice inside you that most civilians don't even hear -- Listen to that. Trust yourself. (remove 999 for proper email address) |
