I can give you a couple , Final Fantasy 11 , and the annoying security pop ups I can never seem to get rid of . I found XP Pro faster on my system .


I'm D/L Vista 32bit Black Edition 2009 SP1 as I type , thought I'd try after my failed XP 64 experiment .

All the error which the user faced in vista ultimate are fixed and tweaked. New hot fixes, updates and the Vista SP1 package are integrated. All the dream scene packs are activated. The Dolby digital plugins are also integrated for more fun with musics. New windows sounds, New Gadgets, New Login screen, New Default theme and more….

Although I'm not familiar with the game, within five minutes Google turned up any number of workarounds/patches to enable FF11 in Vista.
Disabling UAC seems to remove the security popups...I haven't seen one in months.

About "annoying security pop ups" u can disable it from control panel the go to accounts/users , from their choose ur acc , I think u should turn off the last option (I don't remember cause i deleted vista and re-installed win XP sp3 ).

I think ur problem will be solved after doing that. And by the way , windows vista is so much complex .

@ clocker , ya I tried a few patches . It was for a fellow member Redhead68,my workmate . We tried everything to no avail and she is so impatient . She formatted three times yesterday , Win XP 64 , Black XP and a clean XP pro w/sp2 . She thought the last one one worked best out of the box with new ATI drivers .


Hey what are you going to do , if a gamer you have to jump thru hoops . Luckly all I play is old card games or some Gamehouse puzzle type games .



@Palestian, yep tried that but after a win update it still bothered me . Good be I had a dodgey install disk .....

Hey peat, try the reg hacks in this attached rar.
UAC_off.reg and UAC_on.reg do what you'd expect and Uac_Notify_OFF.reg turns off only the notification bubble for UAC being off (so other notifications still work).

Ah thanks for your trouble friend that's awesome but just installed Win XP Black again . Still waiting to finish my Vista Black D/L so will save this .

Peat all you need to do, and I've done this on every vista instalaltion i've ever done and it worked fine, is go into control panel -> user accounts -> and click disable user account control, then restart.

my opinion, wait for windows 7; they say it's vista, just better speeds and stuff. XP runs all apps too so yea. Did you buy vista though? have you tried dual booting?
