Last night my wife complained that a dialog box popped up 3 times while
she was surfing the net, regarding the power settings. It seems that
every day is a new adventure as a Vista user. I'm losing count of all
the anomalies that have occurred with our 2 laptops the past few months.
Windows notifications that won't go away in the 7 seconds they are
supposed to (only my laptop had that issue at first--now hers has the
same issue),
indexing doesnt return all files it should,
my laptop's keyboard repeat rate is very fast and won't adjust.
sometimes resume from hibernation results in shutdown, sometimes it
works ok.
Her laptop won't work with a 2GB SD card (dunno if that's a gateway
issue or software).
No info screen when hibernating as in XP, and I could have sworn that
the first time or two, when my laptop was brand new, that I did see the
info screen a few times.
Vista doesn't drop deleted virus programs from it's list of installed
programs in the Security Center.
Tomorrow is another day--wonder what it holds for our Vista experience?
Wish I could say "never a dull moment" with Vista, but it's way more
frustrating than exciting. dammit, Bill get those boys to fix some of
this stuff, eh????
oh, almost forgot, adjusting the blinking cursor's width doesn't work in
any program but Word, as far as I can tell. It's supposed to be a global
setting in Vista.
"Shared by Me" searches are useless, with or without the index enabled,
on both laptops. and it's NOT a question of ownership. It seems that
search feature just refuses to work on either machine despite trying a
variety of suggestions.
Please list your unsolved issues with Vista.
