Hi. I just tryed my vista machine out durring the past couple of days and I like it, but sort of don't.
My games I made with auto-it work, but verry slow, and my audio games I downloaded don't work at all.
Does anyone know a way around this?
I also thought of downgrading to xp, but my sound card has drivers that came on the recovery drive that came with the machine. It's one of those built-in ones. If I can't get those audio games to work, is there a way I can find drivers for the sound card?
It's one of those realtech hd cards or something like that. Thanks
Bryan.
You can find sound drivers from the manufacturer of the sound card. You can also try putting your vista machine in compatibility mode. I don't think it will work, but you can try.
Does JAWS work with Vista and if so what version?
The latest version of jaws 8 will work with Vista however if you can stay with XP do it. Vista is just a crawler um, slow I mean.
Hi all. I found my sound drivers and I'm going to downgrade my vista machine to xp. Vista came on the machine, but I'm not sure the machine will let me do it or not. Is there a way to tell if I'm running a 64 bit edition of windows?

not a reply to the message above.
I recently went to bestbuys to pick up a machine. All of their machines are vistas. I specificially ask whether or not I can wipe the hd clean and install xp. The geek squad there told me that it is highly not recommended as the hardware they are installed may not even work with xp, not backwards compatible. Efforts of searching for the drivers may be greater than just getting an xp stock machine, or building your own.
Just a warning for those buying computers off the shelf and wanting to downgrade "so called" to xp.
I haven't really noticed a difference in connection speeds when I got this Windows Vista laptop. Yeah, it's a bit slow, but believe me, XP has it's incredibly sluggish moments, lollol. Also, FS has just this minute, released the full build of JAWS 8.0. It's absolutely brilliant.
