windows vista problems

[Wolfgang]

today when I tried to get online  my computer said that windows didn't start up correctly, so I went through the repair sequence and it shut it down and started back up, once again windows vista is screwed up. Is anyone else having these problems.

the only problem i have is that 64-bit doesnt work. My brother hates vista though because he wants to do proper computer stuff. I just want to write, draw and play games.

lucky, my compter doesn't work at all.

Do you have another computer available?

[Wolfgang]

my mom's computer, that's it.

My Scanner is to old for Vista. Vista told me they don't make drivers for my scanner. Other then that, my laptop with Vista on it is currently fried. *Shakes fist at HP*

my dad managed to fix my laptop now.

You use Vista? You poor soul, I really pity you. In my time with Vista as my OS I've had more errors and problems than ever other OS I've used. (Ironically many of these issues worsened due to official Microsoft updates and things Microsoft recommended me to do.
If you have an old disk lying around I highly recommend "downgrading" (although I see as an upgrade myself ) if you want a stable OS with less issues. If you're okay with Vista then stick with it, but I can't say I'd recommend Vista (or windows as a whole really) to anyone >.<

it came with my laptop, and I don't want to downgrade because I'm just to lazy to actually do it.

Fair enough. I was going to suggest that you dual boot but to each their own ^^

I'd had Vista since it was released and I've had no major issues with it at all.

Bah <_<
I expected better from you Tweak. You call yourself an admin and you're using a) Vista and b) Windows?

I use Vista on both my laptops, my home server runs Fedora and the dedicated server uses CentOS. I've used all the versions of Windows, MacOS and various Unix distros.

Windows has better compatibility with everything, it's easier to find drivers and for software to work on it as it's more widely supported because it has the major market share.

.my friend uses fedora as a backup on his laptop, he had issues after he installed windows 7

A valid argument and one I won't uselessly go against (although support is improving). At least your server is on Fedora, good choice if I may say so. Unix-based distros are still top dogs when it comes to servers and embedded systems.
But uh yeah...enough OS discussion, sorry everyone >.<
