Many Vista problems

[scandog]

Hi,

I just installed Vista Business about a week ago. I am finding and
having lots of issues.

1. Scroll wheel not working right.
I have a Microsoft wireless 6000 mouse (latest drivers from MS)
I have only install a few programs and all of them seem to have
problems with the scroll wheel.
1. Blender 3d (scroll wheel should zoom in and out. Just
zooms out)
2. Xara Extreem (have to spin scroll wheel to get 1 line
movement)
3. Open office (same as extreem)

2. Remote desktop
I remote in from school all the time. Since I have made my task bar
taller and have icons on the bottom, when I remote in I get only the
cirlce start button. Even after I get home and logon locally same
problem. I have to reboot to get the task bar back.

3. Transparent menus come and go at will. I have a Geforce 9700GS.
Areo is turned on, sometime things are transparent and sometime not.
Latest drivers installed from Nvida site.

As a power user of Windows I hate that they have changed names and
locations of so many things. (venting)

Does any one have any suggestions. Besides going back to XP or Linux
(xgl makes Aero glass look like a kids toy)

Thanks

This is a known driver issue. Wait for new drivers.

Ya got me. Maybe related to #3? Try turning themes off from within RD?

3. Transparent menus come and go at will. I have a Geforce 9700GS.

I would start a support request with NVIDIA. Let them know what you are
seeing. Screenshots will help.

Many have said the same.
