Win Vista & Casinos

[Sodax77]

Because my old PC said goodbye, i bought the new one,
with Windows Vista Home Premium. I like it.

- 3Dice Casino = problems corrcted, works with Vista
- Microgaming (some) = Need to install under UAC (User Account Control). Old Flash object problem, but you can play. Need to launch under UAC! (if enabled)
- Rival = Do not work (March 2007) - But, it will work, if you use
"Win XP2"-mode
- Wagerlogic/Intercasino = Weird delays with some games. Graphic issues. Some problems are corrected (after march 2007).
- Grand Virtual = After i got a free F-Secure Internet security license (16 months) - Grand Virtual is labeled as a virus/adware.
-Playtech - No results
RTG = Works fine - some (small) graphic issues. Nothing big.

...or Casino Elegance

Anyway, i like Vista, but since they build Vista "different way", there is so many conflicts with some programs. Ok, it is quite new and Microsoft is Microsoft...
Oh yeah, we love ya Bill Gates...

I used to work in PC support years ago and if there's one thing I learned it's never upgrade to a new o/s 'til everyone else has debugged it for Microsoft

Just format the new laptop and install XP off the disc you already have

Actually, that's probably not an option nowadays...most systems only come with a "recovery" disc, with all the BS shareware that just clutters up everything.

This could be useful in removing all the unwanted crap that comes on a new PC.

Noted with thanks, the DELL I bought for Mum to use has given numerous headaches, many down to the "crapware" rather than the PC.

I have recently bought a better DELL, and have noticed too that if you ask for "none" for the software trials you still get them anyway.
I have subscribed for my "free Vista Upgrade CD", but I have no intention of installing it until Vista has been around for a while.
It would be interseting to know if the Vista upgrade is crapware free, and can be used for a clean install rather than an upgrade. Pity I have not got it yet, despite ordering it over two weeks ago when they were all "ready to ship".
