Vista, again and again...

[GoldenRivet]

some folks here are all too familiar with my vista problems... The problem is that vista likes to hang on to some slightly hidden files associated with games when you uninstall them.

An easy fix is to follow the advice above and when you reinstall... Do so OUTSIDE of program files directory.

For example, my SH3 path is directly in the C: in a folder entitled "Kriegsmarine" and is not installed within program files.

Since adopting this method of installation/ uninstall I have had ZERO CTDs in Sh3... And I used to be a CTD king when it came to GWX!

Good luck with your problems.

Shure, finally SHII will work under Vista. But from my point of view Vista a piece of "peep" and nobody really needs ist.

I cannot see any advantage except the fact to use more powerful processors, to achive the same performance.

Intel recently thanked Bill Gates for his unbroken effort to make software slower and slower.:rotfl:

To be honest, this is just getting tiresome. Someone is using Vista - and the reasons do not matter - and posts here for help. Instead they get someone's negative opinion of Vista over XP, and absolutely no help with their actual problem.

What is the point of such posts? If you cannot help the OP, then just don't post.

Maybe they bought a new system that shipped with Vista and they don't have any copies of XP to use even if they wanted to go that route. Maybe they like some other aspects of Vista (eg. it will wake from sleep to run software update, then re-sleep the system).

Maybe they just don't see the point of completely uninstall the OS, and installing another, just to fix an issue with a piece of software that many here can tell you CAN run just fine under Vista.

If you want to post opinion comments about Vista versus XP, there are already threads in the General Topics forum.

Sorry, but these anti-Vista posts in response to specific posts for help have just gotten very tiresome over the past year, and they do not help the OP anyway.
