I'm really getting sick of Vista. There are lots of issues I am running into. I'm lucky enough to have just built an inexpensive yet high-performance machine (generally speaking)--much faster than my previous Prescott 2.4.
But, here are my current issues:
1) File transfers take forever. That stupid dialog box says calculating time remaining for 3-5 seconds when I delete a 2 KB file.
2) Network transfers are terrible when initated by Vista. I can pull files from Vista and get normal speed, however.
3) None of my 3 different model Minolta printers work (5 total all on print servers). When I try to install the driver, it asks for a file that doesn't exist in the directory but XP doesn't ask for it.
4) All these annoying warning messages. Can I disable them completely? I don't want the security! I don't have security issues and don't like wasting my time.
5) I want Alt ctrl delete to bring up the process list...not that annoying full screen message that can take a few seconds to load!
6) Boot up seems slower.
7) Sounds aren't even impressive...just little dings, lol.
I liked the old start menu better just because I categorize all my start menu's so I don't need help w/ search...although it does let me open with keyboard only.
9) Various online apps don't work like Logmein and I am forced to use IE until they fix those.
10) Sidebar is a joke! I can't even configure lots of things! The weather app only shows the current temp...I want the sidebar to be on top of other apps (great), but it can't be on top of other apps & transparent! It's opaque then. If it's not set to be on top of apps, it is transparent but a click puts it in the background! I want everything overlaid but if I click, the click should go to the underneath app if one exists below the sidebar.
11) VLC gave me a video problem with white video until I read that I need to switch the video output mode to OpenGL...which did fix it but that's another step!
12) ...more to follow.
