Rudda frudda~! (Wacom and Vista)

Thu Jul 30, 2009, 11:38 AM

I just spent the better part of the afternoon getting my system restored to a point where I could use my new Wacom Bamboo tablet again. Apparently Vista in all it's wisdom decided the driver was a threat to the system and would repeatidly shut it down, preventing me from using the pen outside of Photoshop (rather irritating when you're juggling between messengers, Photoshop and Explorer).

I think I've about had it with Vista. Along with logging permissions, installing older programs and now this, I think I've had just a much trouble as I had with my parent's Windows ME computer. A bit of a shame as I'll admit it's acctually a stable system... when it decides to acctually run stuff.

I just wanted to throw out there, anyone using Windows 7 yet? Think it'd be worth it to upgrade to that? Or should I in fact downgrade to XP? (Since it seems my old computer won't be comming back from the grave any time soon)

Ryan is using windows 7 on his mac :/
I'm using vista and have never had any trouble, and I use a wacom bamboo (I have some old programs that are not 'vista' that work fine installed too)

Tru fax, I use a macbook and it crashes/freezes every day, but my desktop with the vista runs like a dream.

Well using Trillian it would block it from creating or even updating Log files because of some other security protocols :/

And I did say Vista was otherwise a stable system. But introducing it to new things seems to involve more conjoling than should be nessesary.
