Windows Sidebar

[NewbieChris]

I'm getting pissed off at Vista because when I restart my sidebar programs sometimes show up in a different order than they were in when I shut down. Thats gay. Anyone else having this problem?

it dosen't change the order of mine but if i have to restart my computer it dosent pull up the sidebar at all. i have to go in and open the program.

are you running vista SP1? i downloaded it last week. seems a little faster.

[NewbieChris]

Yes, I am. I have noticed no difference though.

While I'm on the subject. Has anyone had problems with Real Media Player stealing components from Media Center?

This is why no one in the business settings has switched to Vista yet. It's still too buggy.

can you lock your toolbar?

I have been using Vista since October on 1 of my office systems and had a lot of trouble with my VPN connection. I still have some issues but I have gotten by most of them. I went and bought 2 Dell XP systems for work just before the stopped making them. I also have 2 Vista systems at home. 1 lap top and a desk top as well as an XP laptop. With all the problems I had with Vista I have to tell you I rather like it now. I have all my employees using the XP systems and I use the Vistas. The reason is Vista is the system we will all be using like it or not. The 1st thing you have to do is stop using it like XP and learn how to use Vista all by itself without referencing XP .They are different animals. The more I use it the more I like it. The biggest piece of advice I can give you is do Not get busy with clicking the mouse double click and let it work. Vista is a long distance runner not a sprinter. How many power tools are you running & how much memory do you have in your system. Are you running a clean system or an XP upgrade?

Nah haven't used it lately. I don't doubt that it's getting better. Hell XP still has it's problems.

I just don't like the fact that the released it so early because they felt Apple was giving them a run. All they had to do was sit on it for a few months to get more of the bugs out.
