In Reply to: VISTA OS - Kyrie
My computer crashed about 1.5 months ago. I was in need of a computer and quickly... ended up with a HP that has Vista. So far (knock on wood) I have not had any problems. all of the programs that I use work just fine. The only thing that I did differently was uninstall the Antivirus that came with it and installed a different antivirus and a different spyware. I did find the new Microsoft Word that I installed to work just fine, but it was really different than the old version that I was using.. some good, some bad! I am not much help I suppose, but I haven't had any trouble with mine and I pray that I don't either!

Anyone using Vista how do you like it. It seems
as though XP is being discontinued very shortly so not sure how that will affect all of us with companies that arent compatible if we need a new computer.
VISTA OS
Has anyone an opinion regarding VISTA OS?
Vista
If I wasn't in such a hurry then I would have "shopped" a bit, but as it was I had to buy what was on the shelf so that I could continue working nearly uninterrupted. I know when it first came out it was horrid. I am hoping that with the updates and such that it will continue to work well. I did love having XP, but it wasn't on the shelf at the time and I didn't have time to do any building of my own. Still hoping that it continues to do well for me! Good luck to you when it comes time.

 Does anyone else have Vista? My new computer has it and I keep getting that blue screen and lose everything if im in the middle of a report. Dont know if it is medical software such as QuickLook that or other Stedman's products or not. I have had to reformat the hard drive twice. Anyone else with this problem? dont know if i should post here or on Medquist site.
Vista is garbage
My husband is in IT and he installed Vista when it first came out. He very quickly uninstalled it. It has so many problems, causes so many problems and he pointed out that there are security issues with Vista. I don't see XP going anywhere as many people who are in positions of powerin companies, like my husband, refuse to use it. I wouldn't bother wasting your money.
Vista versus XP
Hi,
I am an MT looking to purchase a new computer, and it seems like unless you special order all the computers have Vista on them. How is Vista compared to XP? The companies I work for do support Vista, but I have heard more negative comments about Vista as opposed to good from people I know who use Vista who are not MTs. I am hoping that this will be a smooth transition for me as I am not that computer savvy.
Thanks!
my grandmother has Vista on hers and
I don't like that everything is black instead of blue. I could not find anything i was looking for when i have tried to help her fix her computer. Her printer will not work now and I cannot figure out how to uninstall it. I am having her bring it over tomorrow to see if I can install it on my PC to see if it's the printer or her PC. if you like change you may like vista but it will be a very sad day indeed when I am forced to buy a PC with Vista. Luckily I just had this one built in December and they still had copies of XP to install on it!!!
Blue Screen for Vista
1 - First Check for the Vista updates.
2 - See your power settings, like auto turn off hard drives, monitor, hibernate, sleep etc.
3 - Run Spyware & anti-virus.
4 - There are few reports that Adobe Reader causes the Blue Screens in Vista, you should better uninstall it.
If not solved, then it's hardware issue, consult your vendor.
HTH,
Sara.
I have Vista on my home computer, XP on 2 others.
I cannot stand Vista. I now only use that computer basically to print things or run a simple Word document. I never had problems with it before having Vista installed. I tried to load my transcription programs to that computer and never was successful.
My other 2 with XP, never have problems with anything. I bought a used laptop for remote use simply because I could get it ith XP and not pay more since all the new ones start with Vista.
