VISTA Acronym
woe is my PC
Saturday, February 17, 2007 by Phoon | Discussion: Bugs
Well, this afternoon I decided to give vista a try outside of my virtual environment and actually peform a fresh install on my PC.
First step.. I ran the upgrade advisor and obtained proper drivers which would be needed. ( Sound Card )
Last night, I purchased Trend Micro AV 2007 as my new anti-virus solution as well.
So I pop the CD in and begin the process.
Everything was going fine until I went to choose my time zone. As soon as I clicked on it.. BAM! A rock solid lock up which required a power off.
I repeated this same proceedure about 3 times with the same result. To move forward, I just stuck with Pacific Time and moved on.
In short, even after I was up and running, hard lockups were more normal regular than stable behavior...
I started anew with a fresh install and got everything installed properly. I was up and running for about 15 mins when ( I bet you can't guess.. )MORE LOCKUPS.
After a hard reboot, I ran Windows updates and flagged my C drive for a check on next reboot.
So that is where it stands at the moment. I am watching CHKDSK count and verify the massive amounts of clusters at this point.
This is the most disgusting adventure into a new MS Operating system that I have ever encountered. My system is no slouch at all and should be flawless at running this.
All I can say at this point is that to me the word VISTA has taken on a whole new meaning...
V - vile
I - irritating
S - system
T - transformation
A - adaptability

Gotta agree with y'all here... installed Vista on my work computer, then looked for a program to kill the shortcut arrow on the desktop shortcuts.
BIG MISTAKE, stupid app crashed the OS, and I gotta watch the system yo-yo b/w powering off and the loading screen for about 5 minutes.
Had to pop-in ERD commander, kill the reg keys & delete the files, then re-install the program, so I could uninstall (to delete any hidden files...).
Vista Is Something Terribly Asinine
