Vista problems

by matt 27. October 2006 07:35

I should have mentioned this in my last post, but I got all carried away about how nice it is.

It's not all a bed of roses. You can still tell at points that it's a beta product. Or at least, I hope that's why it's not working properly.

My biggest problem is power management. I can't let the computer go into sleep mode, because it never really recovers. The lights go and the disk flashes, but there's no screen. I guess I need newer display drivers (that I can't yet find on the interweb). Battery life doesn't seem brilliant, either - I guess the graphics keeps things busy.

The only other real problem has been trying to get Visual Studio Team Explorer installed with User Access Control. It just wouldn't do it. I had to disable UAC, reboot and try again. Unfortunately, when I was trying again, I ran a different setup program that worked first time, so I don't know if it was a compatibilty problem with the setup wrapper, or UAC (which is back on again - it's actually quite a nice security blanket).

If those are my only problems, I'm sorted.
