Lol. I've had issues running built in-software and hardware. Let alone third party stuff. God-forbid we should run anything else than a Microsoft product...
Seriously. Lab-view has issues (USB-Serial port not recognized. Not sure why.) Everything is such a pain in Vista. Why can't it just work? [SarcasticEDIT] Oh yeah... Answered my own question. It's Microsoft.... [/SarcasticEDIT]
That's probably pretty mean, and Microsoft is a FIRST sponsor, so I'll shut up now. My advice is: get a new laptop, downgrade to XP and sell your Vista key for half price. Someone out there wants it. You don't.
After you have XP loaded, you should be all set. I mean, what advantage does Vista have over XP, besides hogging more resources and not being compatible with anything? Until they fix it, it's not worth the headaches. And by then, who knows... Maybe Vienna will be out...
Just my advice.
