then why dont you just try xp on that rig and see if it sorts it out? if it does, just keep vista around until you need it like if you plan to play halo2 or something
Yar. You're likely having issues with Vista Drivers and DX10.
DX10 basically did the same thing to me with FFXI, I would get flickers, and I would get massive framerate lags from random things. Going back to XP and DX9 solved this problem.
well, this seems to work, Looks like the SPECIAL version of vista just isnt ready for people that wanna use their systems to their full potential, I probably should go with linux, but oh well...
