it aint pretty... but I'd rather have a functional OS, then a crippled one.
Man this thread is an off topic hailstorm.
What, EXACTLY, are you having problems playing back? I've got 10+ years worth of movies, music, etc, that I have zero problems playing back... I don't understand the issue here.
As for HD-DVD; that has nothing to do with Vista. The behavior would be the same in XP. (before anyone chimes in that you can playback in XP, check your output resolution, it's not HD) The fix is AnyDVD HD. ( http://www.slysoft.com )
i have vista 64 installed in a dual boot with XP SP2...i use XP for my main applications that are not compatible with vista...vista has definite draw backs and frustrations.
i have a 8800 GTS...tried to install the latest nvidia driver for vista 64...when i do that, i lose functionality like i can't get in the control panel the normal way and can't access the system properties...fortunately, i did a restore point before installing the nvidia driver...reason i knew to do that, i had already installed the freaking 64 bit OS 3 previous times because of losing this functional control.
the OS is really trash IMO!...maybe the 32 bit is slightly better towards working with apps...but all this BS that i read in the thread has further convinced me that i wasted my money in buying a "genuine" vista disc!
in fact, I LOVE THE MAC commercial where "PC" has a woman press agent who deciphers's PC comments about vista; like going back to XP which is referred as upgrading!...LOL:D
