I have a clean install of Vista Ultimate. The only problem I have had with Flex Builder is that I get dumped into Windows Vista Basic Color Scheme when I launch any designer pages. Since the Aero look is pretty much the only neat thing I have found with Vista, it does make the upgrade somewhat worthless (unless you care about UAC - which i promptly turned off).
Additionally, I am experiencing memory parity bluescreens with Vista occasionally. This is probably related to some additional RAM I added prior to the install, but it has been a looong time since I had a PC bluescreen. mitch ----- Original Message ---- From: Mike Morearty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, February 16, 2007 11:27:18 AM Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Windows Vista & Flex Hi Bryan, I'm not sure if this will help me, but I would be interested to see the Eclipse log file.
