Never mind for

1) Altering the mouse USB polling

USBHIDF also works for Vista64, since the author kept updating it! :D

1. To load driver under Vista x64 SP1 you can use "Test Mode" method.

1. Setup now aware of Windows x64. Don't forget - under Windows Vista 64 bit
driver will load only with disabled driver signature enforcement.

1. Windows Vista 64 bit checked and work (with disabled driver
signature enforcement).

So its required run in Test Mode, which will state this on the desktop. To remove this "watermark" you may want to use this.

Or, you could create a bootscript using ReadyDriver Plus to disable the Driver Signature Enforcement automatically. But altering your boot records can be risky.

I havent tested all this, yet!

2. Yes, yes
3. Yes, no
4. No

Thnx, but do you also know which fix works for #2 ?

aion's wcafix

http://razerblueprints.net/index.php/componen...ic,6898.0/

if you have an nvidia video card and multicore cpu you may have to disable threaded optimization in your game's settings for the fix to work properly as i have found out from experience

cpl mouse fix works for me also but it's not as good of course

Thanks dude! Have you tried it on Vista64 SP1? Well I will anyways.

no but i use it on 32bit sp1

64bit vista the future.. good one! B<

at least 64bit is, Windows 7 this year will better than Vista

surely can't be worse >:o

What is it you dont like about Vista?
Or havent you tried it at all? (thats what I think).

I was very skeptical for Vista too, but now I've tried it, I actually like it! Been using it for about a month now, my experiences so far;

Positive:
- Makes much better use of RAM, precaches alot so it saves loading time
- Better leveling/priority of apps, efficient in balancing the machines power.
- Good S3 support, I only reboot once in a while, for the rest it "sleeps" when not in use. Only a little power on RAM remains, saving the workspace, so its ready for use almost instantly.
- DirectX 10 and up
- Better video rendering and no more tearing issues with EVR/Aero
- Alot more stable and secure
- Better looking

Negative:
- At some points, the GUI got less logical/efficient, so you'll have to get used to it (or use the classic theme).
- Only thing that bothers me: "SPDIF (digital) out" and "analog speakers" are seperate "audio devices". I have to make "SPDIF" as default audio device for AC3/DTS passthrough and "analog speakers" for using my headphone.
But there might be a solution for this, havent looked into it yet.

I admit I never really tried it, but all I've seen so far from mates hasn't looked promising at all. In return you get hardware requirements that are just completely bullshit, it's already bad enough that you're expected to upgrade regularly to play latest videogames, but now for an OS? Jesus motherfucking Christ. I just never saw a single reason to upgrade to an OS that doesn't really improve things for me in any way, while demanding a lot from me. Instead I made the switch to Ubuntu Linux successfully, it does the job for me (Q3/WC3/normalstuff) and is actually performing and easier to use than WinXP that I had before. Now that I got a better OS (for what I need) with less hardware requirements, I see even less point in buying Microsoft's next gen piece of shit. It must be for a reason that they still give you an option to downgrade to WinXP if you buy Vista these days? ...

Its all a matter of compatibility and hardware being compliant with software, like you will certainly notice while using Linux.

They still offer a downgrade cause of people unwilling to adjust and bad support from brands, who refuse to keep supporting their already sold products (writing drivers or updating apps).

well vista is pretty good at this point, it just had a lot of problems at launch mainly caused by terrible drivers by companies like nvidia

i bought vista when it launched and gave it a few tries and it sucked

however when i installed it about four months ago it was a lot better and has been my main os ever since

there are still a lot of people that say things like LOLOL VISTA BLOWS just because they like to hop on the vista bashing bandwagon
