So I tried it...

That's SOP for all video cards. To avoid conflicts you MUST uninstall
any prior video drivers, then install the new video driver. Again, the
reason falls on Windows being dumb.

Yes it is, I wasn't 100% sure if there was something additional showing
up on mine or whether it was from the manufacturer's driver disk.

Facts? Here's one for Frankie to choke on: Just a few days ago

Frank and Adam, here's a suggestion. You two obviously don't agree on
anything or like each other. We get that. We really do. So how about
from now on you take your insults and your petty arguments offline and
restrict your posting in this forum to on-topic Vista-related material?
I know that I for one would really appreciate that.

Little Frankie replied:

Good idea!
I've laser fried up his stupid as* so many times I'm starting to get
really bored.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I'll take it.
Frank

I would have said we cold add liar to your lists of misconduct, but we
already knew you're a lying sack of wet shit so keeping your would is
be expecting too much.

Love, Adam.

1. Buy a toaster....but do not put bagels into it.
2. Get a brain.

Bye.

To be fair, Microsoft has to provide enough resources and "incentives" for
vendors to do so in the same way that Linux community has to do.

A 'community' is too kind. A loose rabel is better, and THAT is why it is
really not worthy of reliance.

Who gives a rat's ass. If it doesn't work - it doesn't work!!

Then never buy a car.

 

[Adam Albright]

Stephen;
Your comparisons with a car, toaster and fridge are not valid.
Those 3 items are complete systems in themselves.
Windows is nothing without a computer.
For your car analogy, Windows is like the engine.
If you buy another engine, you should first check that it will work
appropriately with whatever car you have.

You mean like buying Vista certified hardware that supposedly passed
inspection and rigid testing that still doesn't work correctly?

I asked you at least a half a dozen times why you always have a hard
on for Microsoft. I'm still waiting for an answer. What's in it for
you that you daily disgrace yourself being an unpaid apologist for a
multi national company that doesn't give a rat's ass about it's
customers and release after release spanning over 21 years still
hasn't been able to give the public a reasonably bug free version of
Windows prior to the endless parade of service packs.

WHY do you do it Jupiter?

Why don't you ask you mama Adam Hopalong, you piss ant, since we both did
her, maybe you're related?

You stupid *piss ant* in your size to shoes trying to kick some behind can
you at least try to be creative? You have already used that one, piss ant.

Show me some nut case that needs to put "Mr." in his reply line and
I'll show you a fool. Hello fool.

Did you do hardware compatibility check? Did you do your homework?

You know the bottom line is about who is setting behind the keyboard and
mouse with your tail between your legs yapping.

I've seen top posters and bottom posters but rarely idiots that delete
everything and are so full of themselves only their own comments
remain. Well if the Bozo needs to put Mr. in his posts I guess I
understand what a loser such a guy has to be.

ROTFLMAO!

In the future you may respond to me as Mr. Albright or sir.

It's not read. You little piss ant, you need to hop back under your rock and
hop around in the coffin dirt you sweep under the rock with your little
broom, and you kicked around with your size two shoes, you little piss ant.

You are nothing but a low-life rolling in coffin dirt piss ant. I don't get
into conversations with low-life rolling in the coffin dirt piss ants like
you, live with it.

<PLANK> that's a soft logical <plonk>, and you don't deserve a hard <plonk>,
because I always got to keep an eye on Adam Piss Ant Hopalong a NG
*clown*, hopping up and down threads. <g>

<bye>

Nothing more juvenile than a a-hole using Mr. needing to announce he
plonked or planked somebody. What a wack job. You ARE related to
Frankie!

You have my apology.

Anyway, when you whine like you have whined, I don't have time for you
anyway.

Yet you have plenty of time to make an ass of yourself. Amazing!

Crawl back to you little hole, you little piss ant

It's not read you little piss ant crawl back to your little hole, piss ant.

Drivers - Drivers - Drivers

You have a one track mind. This may come as a shock to fanboys, but
not all Windows problems are related to drivers. Otherwise Microsoft's
KnowledgeBase wouldn't be a monument to the countless thousands of
blunders Microsoft made, they had to own up to was oops... sorry, our
mistake.

The fact remains though that nothing in the ads indicates these
potential problems, and no doubt retailers are happy to sell without
asking, so off goes the customer and tries to upgrade his system which
gets trashed.

Now, I have invested in drive trays so a new hard disk is not something
I even think twice about, but the average user probably doesn't find it
that easy to back his stuff up. I do this sort of things quite often, at
home and at work, but can we call someone careless or stupid because
they were not fully aware of what they were risking.

 

[Adam Albright]

Yes, I agree with you.

For newer models, hardware and software vendors do get benefits (or at least
try to avoid penalities for not being considered) by providing compatiable
drivers or versions so they could push sales.

And..


I also resent the above attitude and those persons simply don't know what is
compassion.

You are describing fanboys and MVPs. There isn't one of either camp
that isn't guilty of using this lame excuse over and over.

THAT is why I make fun of them. They richly deserve it.

 

[Frank]

You write them down?




You give lessons on how to be a stupid fool? You'd be a great teacher
Frankie since you obviously had lots of practice.

Drunk again you slobbering idiot!
Grow up! Sober up! Then you might make some kind of rational sense in
this ng.

Hey Frankie, do you constantly argue with you wife like you argue with
everybody here? If so, and I bet it's a yes, she has my sympathy.

I only argue with drunken loser as*holes like you georgie
