I. Hate. Vista

[hawtpawkithero]

So, I just recently went through some issues with my computer, got it working with vista. Now, I reinstall the drivers for my Wacom Intuos3... Nothing works right. First off, my normal mouse now feels completely off. It's too slow, but if I put the speed up a notch in the windows settings, it's way to fast.
Next, every time I try a single click with the pen, I get a double click. I've scoured through all the different options and services and alternative drivers and google searches I could possibly do, and absolutely nothing can resolve this issue. So, I'm asking you all: Halp?

I saw the title and thought Surf started this thread.

same, although for very different reasons.

I uninstalled the driver, and now everything works fine...

Another problem: Every time I boot my computer, I have to refresh my IP before my internet works... I'm pretty sure it's not my router because this never happens when I'm on XP or Fedora.

Hmm...that is strange. When you refresh your IP address, are you getting a completely different one? If so, try giving your computer a static IP address, I'm assuming it doesn't already have one.

I know that sounds weird, and sounds like it wouldn't do any good, but I had some weird issues with Vista networking as well. My motherboard has two ethernet ports, but the bottom port would not work in Vista. It works fine now in XP. I just had to use the top one...weird...

All of this is assuming that you don't have any adware and/or viruses on your machine that are screwing with your registry settings, though I think you would know if you did.

If you can't get it working, however, you could always create a batch file that would release and renew your IP address on startup, since that seems to be working for you anyways...

I've got a funny problem.  Everytime I quit tf2 it says "HL2.exe has quit functioning, would you like to check for a fix?"

Well no shit it stopped working I quit it.  Anyone know how to fix that?  I literally have pages and pages of error log with just that problem.

I think that happens to most people with Vista. Happens to me, happens to my friends that run Vista.
