From what I heard, vista was a long time coming with much turmoil in the management and execution of the project--with some indications that their code base may have gotten too large for them to manage anymore. I heard they shut down the project once for a couple of months just to figure out what they were doing wrong and might have started from scratch again. But who knows, talk is talk... I got a free vista enterprise at a microsoft product kickoff and tried it. Within an hour I had a problem playing movie dvds and couldn't fix it, so I went back. In any case, the windows 7 is the one folks are really thinking might be a good move when it is released this fall. If it works for you, great. Its all about a good software experience. Personally, just upgraded my mobo and it can't recognize some usb devices, so the fun never really ends. |

i do remember alot of horror stories from vista when it first came out though, i avoided it like the plague, but i think all the kinks are finally worked out now, which is right before w7 comes out, right on cue with how microsoft usually does |

Re: just updated to vista, now pro tools does not work
Pro tools does seem like its quite fragile regarding the environment it runs in, and avid seems unable to update it at the speed the marketplace demands. It is a concern to me as well.

i followed that verbatum, except when i went to install xp, it didnt find all my partitions..and the ones it did, it was reporting at 130gb not 117 and the actual sizes..and when i would choose, e for example, it would say "are you sure you want to install on drive c?". that kinda scared the [bleep][bleep][bleep][bleep] outta me, and i decided i would jus cancel the process and install it on a fresh drive to avoid corruption, but apparent just from windows checking my disc, and me hitting "cancel" that [bleep][bleep][bleep][bleep]ed up the mbr, and the hard drive itself. i cant boot into vista, xp doesnt exist, and now, the hard drive comes up as unformatted. worst luck. only thing good out of this situaton is i replaced that slow drive with a 7200rpm 32mb cache one now, i had to, to install vista, again. now i just have to get a ubuntu disc or somthing to try to recover the data off the original drive, and install xp on a seperate dirve this time. this is exactly why i really wish pro tools just worked with vista without a hitch in the first place, now ive spent another $150 on a hdd, possibly lost data, and have to reinstall os's again Quote:

Re: just updated to vista, now pro tools does not work
yea i got vista reinstalled and up to where i had the last install at on the new faster hdd now, im wondering if i should emluate xp instead of trying to dual boot this time, or if i do dual boot, install it on a completely serpate drive with the vista drive temporarily disconnected. i dont know if pt will run on an emulator though, with how touchy it is
