I had two complaints about Vista, though my machine is really too low to be running it. Creative drivers never seemed to get surround sound right. They crash and cause problems with my XFI gamer card. Video did not play as well, especially Quicktime. It works much better back on XP. With a computer capable of 64 bit processing, I would likely have been fine. If they had left it the way it was at points in beta, it would have been fine...

Here are a couple of questions for anyone who can answer them: Is there a fix for the Vista (I have the 64-bit) problem of not going into screensaver mode if you have a wireless mouse? No problems on the XP. With the wired mouse plugged in, the screen saver works fine. Something about the human interface device, but I can't get update to fix it.

Also, my speakers emit a popping sound at about a 80 pops/second.

My speakers and mouse are 5 years old and came from my old XP machine. Neither problem existed on my old machine.

My wife went through hell on printer drivers for Vista. It seems HP collaborated in the creation of Vista to make sure people had to buy new printers.
