A SAD SAD REALIZATION

[john]

You did not understand the UA. It said your hardware was fine and it is.
Once proper drivers are released.

ROFLMAO'
I guess I missed that little nugget in the UA
"Sure, your hardware is just fine.... NEXT YEAR"
Pffffft, nice try kid

 

[Adam Albright]

I noticed. <giggle>

 

[john]

Why? Because my Vista machines all run fine? It's not imaginary.

Well yea, so would everyone else's is all we did was stare at an aero
desktop all day and watch the pretty screensavers.

try installing some apps (and no, Leisure Suit Larry 1 doesn't count)

 

[john]

Dont mind Justin.. he is the imaginary nephew of Bill Gates...

He is something like this newsgroups pet....

I bet he gets his lunch money swiped every day...

ok well sound card even after uninstalling the one on the system,
redownloading again, reinstalling, only sound is the cursed start-up jingle,
and graphics well no overclocking, open GL

If you hear ANYTHING that suggests the driver is working. Could be a
file association problem. Could be a slider that plays a certain type
of file like .wav is way at the bottom of its range. Could be one or
more settings are mutted. Sound cards and built-in sound on some MB's
can be a pain to set up. Do you see a little sound controller icon on
the Task Bar at the extreme bottom of your desktop? Almost always
shows as some kind of speaker icon. Click it and start snooping
around.

Also if your system came with a build-in sound feature AND you
installed a seperate sound card make sure in Device Manager only one
is active. Also be sure any built-in sound is disabled in BIOS if you
install a seperate audio card.

In fact even if you only see one listing in Device Manager under Sound
Controller, right click on the driver line then uninstall, then
immediately shut down. Do NOT pick restart. Wait a few seconds, now do
a cold reboot, now watch and see if Windows comes back with "found new
hardware".

If you did all these steps and it was a multiple driver issue or some
IRQ mix up you just gave Windows a second chance to install it right
since you forced it to find and reinstall the driver again by deleted
whatever driver is listed. If there are more than one, uninstall them
all from Device Manager. This actually does nothing to the file, which
is still on your hard drive. It just blocks Windows from loading it so
don't be afraid to unistall any driver. By doing this you also change
the mix in how drivers get loaded at start up and often which IRQ gets
assigned. That alone often is enough to fix weird problems.

You're confusing Justin. Thousands? He can't count past ten unless he
takes his shoes and socks off.

Your lost as usual.

All you do is build strawmen so you can't knock them down. Typical of
know nothing trolls.

Your lost as usual.

How generous of you Justin! You actually let somebody else have an
opinion without you needing to pontificate.

I always do. I just don't swallow your garbage.

As it has already been pointed out many major vendors have already
stated they will NOT automatically update ALL their drivers to support
their full lines of hardware to support Vista.

So? That has nothing to do with this conversation. As usual.

Go away troll!

 

[Justin]

If I, a simple end user, is outraged that Microsoft could launch a
product before the proper drivers could be developed or even the proper
peripherals developed (FYI, there's only ONE USB memory stick available
that's Vista capable), others will be and are too. This is just a fact.
Microsoft should have at least let the hardware companies attempt to
develop
the proper drivers for products before the OS was released. Bad planning,
bad judgement, and even worse timing.

What's the alternative? Linux? They have worse driver support then
windows. Mac OS? New "major" versions are the same, they lack drivers.

When a new OS is launched you simply have to wait for new drivers.

The fact that NONE of your hardware works with Vista is a bit extreme. Not
the norm.

Who said next year?

List your hardware. Mainboard, audio, video.

 

[Justin]

You mean the 800+ compatible ones? Done. Not all, but just what I need.

 

[Justin]

I bet he gets his lunch money swiped every day...

Wow, that's great! Lunch money... the fact that's on your mind tells us all
what we need to know about you.

 

[Adam Albright]

You mean the 800+ compatible ones? Done. Not all, but just what I need.

Now you want us to believe you installed 800 applications?

ROTFLMAO!

 

[Justin]

jingle,
and graphics well no overclocking, open GL

Video:
1. Correct, no overclocking yet. It'll come. It's not a high priority from
them.
2. The current driver is supposed to support OpenGL for both a single card
as well as SLI mode. What exactly is not happening and with which
application(s)?

Audio:
Does your volume mixer work? Did you check your event logs? Device
manager? Do you have any apps that start with windows?

 

[Justin]

Now you want us to believe you installed 800 applications?

ROTFLMAO!

WOW! I just love it when adam makes himself look like an absolute FOOL!!!!

Let me explain something to you adam. The words "not all" directly relate
to the fact that I DID NOT install them all.

OMG!!!! I can not believe that EVEN YOU couldn't understand that.

If that's what you got from my post then you truly are at a second grade
reading level!

I need to just ignore him. I'm disrespecting all those people that kill
file him.

Sorry folks!

 

[Richard Urban]

Yes. I can't answer him directly, but he is so funny. He can't remember what
he says from one thread to another.

Justin,

Why you continue to communicate with this troll is beyond me... waste of
bandwidth. And your time.

Lang

 

[Lang Murphy]

HP... if you will... I must admit I'm somewhat surprised that you would
subscribe to the views of an obvious troll... and not just any troll, but a
self-aggrandizing, in the worst sort of way, troll. That guy adds no value
to this group, unless one considers FUD a value-add.

"...you would have listened to my cries of warning against using Vista to do
anything serious..." Yeah, right, no one is using Vista for "serious"
computing. Only Notepad and Calendar.

"...nothing works and nothing is compatible..." Well, obviously, he has a
unique view on what the word "nothing" means.

"...the GUI is a distruction." Is that French?

Not implying that you don't have the right to agree with the dude... just
surprised, I guess.

Yeah, I plonked the guy last week... so don't expect to see any replies to
his posts of "Lang Murphy is [insert moronic name calling insult here]."

[Justin]

Yeah, right, no one is using Vista for "serious" computing. Only Notepad
and Calendar.

Oh really? Please explain how you know this.
