RE: [Flashcoders] OT: Upgrading to Windows Vista
Thanks for all the advice on upgrading to Vista. I ended up buying the Ultimate upgrade version from PC World due to the urgency and 24 hours later after beginning the install, and another trip to PC World to get a new graphics card due to my old GeForce FX5200 not working with Vista, I have a really slow PC now but at least it has Vista... Either my PC is ill or Vista requires a beast of a machine. My spec is Dell Dimension 4600 Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.06 GHZ 2.5GB RAM 250GB HD GEForce 7600 GS 256MB AGP And it gets a Vista Windows Experience Index of 4.2 And boy is it running slow!!! -- Paul Steven Mediakitchen Limited 6 Crown Mews Wellington Somerset TA21 9SZ Tel: 01823 668 648 www.mediakitchen.co.uk Mediakitchen is a limited company registered in England and Wales.

Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Upgrading to Windows Vista
Hi Paul, I just realised this comment was kind of irrelevant to your upgrade. Hopefully it'll make more sense when you're actually trying to debug what's wrong with your CR-ROM! Give us a shout if you need to, we've just had to jump through all the hoops of getting Flash products working on Vista. With regard to your speed issues - a machine of those specs shouldn't be running slowly. You haven't got Vista Ultimate's stupid 'full-video-desktop-wallpaper' turned on, have you? I'm now using a machine with about the same specs (getting Windows Experience Index of 3.1) but it's perfectly acceptable for day-to-day development work.

Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Upgrading to Windows Vista
Should not be too slow, I only have 1 Vista install but it is on a notebook with only 2 GB of RAM and of course a much smaller and slower disk. It is used to 3D CAD and it very snappy rendering moderately large models. It keeps up with the mouse when the model is being dragged or rotated. Your PC sounds a bit more powerful and the disk will definitely be faster. Ron Paul Steven wrote: Thanks for all the advice on upgrading to Vista.

Thanks Ron and Ian - that is reassuring to know.

[Flashcoders] OT: Upgrading to Windows Vista
A client is reporting problems running a flash CDROM (packaged with Zinc) on windows vista so I need to upgrade to Windows Vista to enable me to debug the problem (I am currently on Windows XP Home edition). Just wanted to know if there are any general problems relating to upgrading to Vista I need to be aware of and what version of Vista is recommended. Also where is the best place to purchase Windows Vista?

Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Upgrading to Windows Vista
Hi Paul, The main problems we've had in migrating to Vista have all been to do with installation - where you can (or more specifically can't) write files to during the install process, and where you can write files to at application runtime. The latter is very restrictive. (Our disks write logfiles etc. and store settings during use). We've as yet had no problems with Flash itself.
