  • Well, no vista for me. Yet. My computer is failing right now.

Well, I formatted the hardrive, tried to boot vista. No worky.
So I went back to Windows with the recovoery disk ( yes it is real, unlike vista ).

Now I have it installed, completely clean etc etc etc.

But the performance of my computer has gone down dramatically. Truly.
It takes forever to load a DVD-R; it is like the world ends when you try and open a large file; AND THE SCROLLING! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't scroll. The whole computer lags when I scroll over the internet. The page appears in lines, not smoothly like before.

I need to fix these problems. Now and fast.
There must be a way as I never had these on my virus/trojan/shit infested old hard drive and OS.

Cheers.
I am back.

Problem there. No program can detect the sound card as it is not working because of the missing drivers.

Lack of video drivers make you have shit scrolling.

I just installed Vista, had a few problems at first but all were easily rectified.  TBH its really not much different.
Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.
