WTF w/Vista ?

[DasTeknoViking]

Ok my only problem with Vista.

Sometimes the task bar icons/windows get messed up. If I try clicking on one window, the other one pops up. Does anyone have this problem ?

My computer is a Packard Bell P1 120mhz, 8mb ram, 40gb hard drive, 14.4kbs modem.

The 40gb hard drive is your problem. To a Packard Bell, a 40gb hard drive seems ludacris.

what's up with the huge hard drive?

[nismo3112]

Still got my baby btw....

Pentium w/ MMX technology
166MHz
16mb ram
2.0gb hd
56k modem

Got it for a steal at $2100 back in 95..:banghead:

nahh I am messing, its not on that bad ass machine. Its a Dual Core Intel 2.8ghz 3gig of ram, 250GB SATA etc.... the friggn thing is acting really weird. I was wondering if anyone else has this issue ?

[SuperNet33]

I think it might be user error when he's drunk :)

[DasTeknoViking]

HAHA, no.

It seems as if the task bar gets all jacked up after the computer comes back from sleep/screen saver. It seemed to do it every once in a while, and now it seems to do it alot. Kapersky anti-virus software on it, maybe I got some spam or trojan on the computer ? I dunno how I would get a trojan, I'm a Durex man personally.

[Brian]

did you run any other anti-virus programs?
how about spyware programs?

[Mr.Duck]

i run vista on both my computers, dont have this issue... like brian said, try running a different anti virus and spyware programs

[isakakfi]

:ninja: virus

[Mr Grey]

He told me last night he ran an new anti virus program. It seems that it was only 30% done scanning when he last checked and it had half a screen full of possible viruses.

[Brian]

:noes: :nervous:

[NIGHTMAREuki]

vista will need 2 service packs to be as safe as even xp

[50 Percent]

i've had vista for two months now an no problems....

Hope you dont use the same computer for your vital transactions, I mean like you dont use youe ss# or bank information etc.. man these fu**** viruses
record all the key strokes and other info and send it right out.carefull n good luck cleaning them.

[DasTeknoViking]

I still havent found an answer to how to fix it. I really do not want to dick around with the XP install- if its even possible to do it. I got too much crap to back up if thats the case.

[nismo3112]

My next PC will be a Mac.

[DasTeknoViking]

I'm with you on that one.... I think I will get one soon. Mac MINI because I wanna keep my monitor etc...

[TheMuse]

Anybody know about the 'Ubuntu' which is supposed to just be a free and easier version of vista? I would like to know more about it if anybody has tried it ..

[DasTeknoViking]

I tried the CD RUN version.... affraid to get away from Windows. Most of my programs might not wanna run.

[Brian]

I run Edubuntu (educational version of Ubuntu) at home on the desktop.
it runs perfectly fine with 99% of non-microsoft applications that I've tried
it also comes with a boatload of it's own software that is usually compatible with the wintel equivalent.
I don't recommend it for gaming though.
