Windows Vista Discussion

I successfully installed the 32bit version of Vista with Daemon Tools. Gaming is far from smooth at 30fps, so I will be booting back to XP for that unless anyone has a solution?

that is probably because vista still has all the fancy effects in windows running in the background when you play the game so it runs at a lower framrate. did you try using the basic ui when you want to play games?

 

[Trifid]

Err... Whats UI? Where can I find it?

sorry i don't feel good today...... it means User interface you can change ro the basic theme the same way you swich themes in xp and that should fix the gaming lag.

Yeah, I will admit that.

Can I make it to turn off when I enter a game, or do I have to manually do it myself?

 

[mikee]

For now you have to turn it off manually for now. But when vista comes out they say it will have a "game optimizer" to improve gaming

 

[Trifid]

So when I enter a game just set it to windows classic view? I suppose it isn't too bad having to do that.

 

[mikee]

you could set it to classic then save the theme as an icon on your desktop so all you will have to do before a game is click the icon

 

[Trifid]

Ahhh, clever. I managed to do that.

does anyone know if the Vista beta will run with 64 bit? or 32? which one? or can the beta work with both???
