If you were brave enough to install Vista yesterday, how did it go? My experience has been a bit of a mixed bag. Although Vista itself is running fine and was installed installed within 25 minutes, getting my software and hardware to work has been a real pain.
The really annoying piece of kit I can’t get to work is my Hauppauge Win-TV Nova T-500 TV card. iTunes has also been acting a bit strange with Vista, and some of my tracks seem to have disappeared from my library.
My mouse also doesn’t work properly with Vista. I really need to get my mouse working as I love it as it has volume, play/pause and FF/Rew buttons on i, which are essential for listening to music or watching TV, and it’s also moulded well for left-handers. In fact, I love it so much I bought 3 of them so that I would have spares just in case it isn’t available for sale in the future!
Here are the items I haven’t been able to get to work with Windows Vista so far:
Software (haven’t installed most of my apps as I wanted to focus on hardware and tuning):
- iTunes – buggy
- Speedfan – support coming soon. Need this ASAP as my machine sounds like a tornado with all the fans running at 100%
- 3DMark06
- Â ATITool
- KazaaLite Codecs
Hardware Not Working With Windows Vista
- Logitech Pro 4000 Quickcam (Logitech not even working on driver)
- Logitech MediaPlay Mouse (Vista support coming)
- Hauppage Win-TV Nova T-500 TV Card
