My Vista test run so far

Ok so i Loaded Vista Home Prem and i like what i see so far as far as eye candy. It sometimes seems a little more sluggish than xp and at times its seems faster. One note so far is im using Nero to recode a movie. I tried to play an online flash game while recoding and my cpu usage shot up to around 98%. the flash game screen kept blinking. Other than that i like what i see but that may be because i have something new to play with. I didnt have any install issues i made sure i download all the vista drivers for my hardware and although i at first i couldnt find drivers(vista) for the mobo ethernet prot vista took care of that itself
My specs are

Asus P5w DH Deluxe
C2D E6600
Evga 6800 vanilla
2 gigs of ram

Now that im thinking about it i wonder if thats either

Vista or My 6800 graphics card or if i need more ram?
 
I can play flash games on miniclip.com but when i try to play this

The screen just blinks it will show the image for a second then go black. Can anyone else check who is using Vista if this site works for you? I do have the plug ins installed.

ps if you check this site make sure you popup blockers are on because a pop up add will try to open

Seems ok for me(using Firefox),you got Shockwave installed?...Also try this site for checking updates link ,it's recommended by mechBgon and I also use it.
 
Yes ive tried Ie7 and firefox they all do the same thing. screen is black with it blinking every so often and my cpu usage goes to 98%
 
IME Nero does terrible things to Vista. However Nero lite works good just for burning DVD's, but the codecs in other versions of Nero really mess up Vista codecs.

Nero is poorly written for Vista. I suggest you try another alternative to nero. I am currently using Vista's built in burning tools and ImgBurn for burning ISO's.

As soon as CDBurnerXp Pro 4.0 is released, I will probably switch to that since I do not see spending $80 dollars for a burning suite with a bunch of options I never use in the first place.
 
Ok sorry about that i thought that because i played the same games un xp with the same hardware it was a Vista issue. I decided to check my screen res and saw that Vista Home prem set the display to color highest 32bit and the screen res was 1600 x 1200. When i bumped the res down to 1280 x 800 the game played fine. So unless someone tells me something different its a video card issue. The 6800 needs to be upgraded
