Hi,

I replaced windows xp with vista yesterday but I've got a lot of issues now.
When Vista starts the computer 'freezes' and after some time I get a blue screen error and it reboots.

I'm using genuine vista 32-bit but also tried with a not so genuine version. Same problem here.

What's the problem?
 
My suggestion would be to go back to XP. I hear that windows 7 is even better than XP..... just my .02
 
Sure, I've run it on my iMac without any problems, but why do you need Vista, exactly?

All I can suggest is reinstalling Vista. If that doesn't work, use Boot Camp Assistant to delete and recreate the partition, then do another install.
 
i can't get gta iv to run on xp, that's why.
Anyway, I have tried everything but it doesn't work.
 
Is what the 256 MB MacBook Pro? I'm using a new iMac.

GTA annoys me because it refuses to run with a resolution higher than 1024x800, even though it gets roughly 50 fps at that size.

Click to expand...

Won't run any higher than 720p on consoles natively either, you have to force a dodgy upscale (which some say looks worse). That is about the only dissapointing aspect of the game though!
 
I'm enjoying it, but I'm not convinced it's better than San Andreas. Driving is a little less fun, the protagonist is whinier, and there are no flyable airplanes. I realize there is only one airport, but I still wouldn't mind being able to take one of those 737s for a spin.

Sorry, not the thread for that sort of discussion, though.
