Vista dosen't work with Nvida 7 GPU's rgharper January 6th, 2008, 07:21 PM :devil: Hmmm ... maybe I should tell my two computers with 7300 and 7600 cards they should not be working? slgrieb January 6th, 2008, 10:35 PM :devil: Hmmm ... maybe I should tell my two computers with 7300 and 7600 cards they should not be working? I tried that earlier today, RG, but just like my kids, my 7600 GT ignored me and continued to function. Matridom, I didn't have such good luck creating or burning images with Nero either, but I have Alcohol 120%, and the newest version runs just fine under Vista. And I have to say Easy Media Creator 10 has been trouble free. This is the first version of the software I've owned since Easy CD 5, but I'm very happy. Never thought I'd dump Nero, but... RE: whining about Vista. You know, I remember the same complaints about every single version of Windows ever released. "I don't like the interface, it's too slow, it needs too much memory, it really needs a fast processor to run, there aren't any drivers for..." In fact, I bet if I put my mind to it, I could remember some gripes about newer versions of DOS during its history. sunrise January 6th, 2008, 10:59 PM There are two kinds of people in this world. Those that swear by Vista AND those that swear at it. slgrieb January 6th, 2008, 11:14 PM I just don't get very passionate about operating systems. They all have warts. My first computer back in 1980 ran C/PM 80 for an OS. For its day, it mostly worked OK. As do most operating systems from the Mac OSX to newer Linux distros to Vista. You know, sunrise, it occurs to me that perhaps the cheapest solution to your burning software issue might just be to go buy another DVD burner. Most likely, you can get one for $40 bucks that would come bundled with Nero 7.x Essentials which may do everything you need. New drive, better performance, Vista-compatible software; sounds like a deal to me. sunrise January 7th, 2008, 12:20 AM We must be on the same wave length slgrieb cause that's exactly what I did. And I only paid $30 for it. I'll admit that Vista's not that bad, It's got some worts that drive me crazy, but then so does XP, only difference is I'm use to it's worts . One thing I don't like is all the EYE CANDY, so I turn off as much as I can. I did find this interesting though http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,140583-page,5-c,techindustrytrends/article.html And this http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,140283/article.html OMGmissinglink January 7th, 2008, 01:00 AM :devil: Hmmm ... maybe I should tell my two computers with 7300 and 7600 cards they should not be working?

Everyone was clinging to 98SE.... Vista is nice, it's just new.... and it would help if the manufacturers would get their act together, after all, they only had 5 years notice that new drivers would be needed. Even the bigboys only produced Vista drivers AFTER vista was released to market. No one is forcing you to buy Vista. I can order 10 copies of XP and build you 10 machines tomorrow, no problem. In a year's time, it's going to be a little more difficult because the new hardware may not come with XP drivers! Kodiak January 8th, 2008, 11:11 AM Basic function's yes try them on intense 3D gaming. I have a 7900, Vista Ultimate and I play Battlefield 2142, Call of Duty 4, Crysis and it plays as fast as XP so if your having problems there must be something wrong with your install. Heres a good one I heard. I don't like Vista cause everything is changed around and in different places and renamed. Its a piece of crap. Now there is a reason to hate Vista. I have had it on my machine for quite some time and it's not slowed down and a while back I went back to XP for the heck of it and XP seems very dull now. Just like going from XP to 2000.

Well my kids PC I built for him has a Nvidia 7900GT all though its been a few months neither Nvidia or the manufactures drivers did not work under Vista the screen became almost completely white so I reinserted the XP hardisk in his PC and his games run fine. I've noticed Nvida has come out with a newer driver and have yet to try it again thus I guess when I have some spare time I may give it a shot again.

Have you tried taking Dramamine a half-hour before playing? rgharper January 13th, 2008, 06:24 AM Have you tried taking Dramamine a half-hour before playing? Naw. I figure any game I have to be medicated to enjoy playing ...:devil: OMGmissinglink January 18th, 2008, 04:18 PM Had some time to spend on his PC and same problem, fresh install Vista, latest Nforce driver set, latest Nvida GPU drivers. loaded his game you open the sign on screen the mouse pointer disappears as it did previously so I reinserted his XP Pro drive and set the Vista drive on the shelf. His PC spec. Athlon 4400+ 2GB Ram 300GB Sata drive Nforce chipset Nvidia 7900gt gpu. NooNoo January 20th, 2008, 08:41 AM It sounds like it's nvidia's problem, not Vista. OMGmissinglink January 20th, 2008, 05:36 PM It sounds like it's nvidia's problem, not Vista. Thanks NooNoo who to blame on this issue is odd Nvidia drivers says it supports Vista I''ve even tried older Nivida driver versions, MB is ruled out I've upgraded his board before this install the same problem persists on two brands of boards, both flavors of mouses, tried different mouse settings in control panel etc. when I have some time again maybe I'll try sticking an ATI card in I I'm kinda doubtful the graphic card is the problem though. NooNoo January 21st, 2008, 04:38 AM I agree, it's an nVidia driver problem. OMGmissinglink January 25th, 2008, 01:56 PM I agree, it's an nVidia driver problem. NooNoo on this issue really Nvidia's website says their driver supports the GPU with their driver, thought I'd give a shot uninstalling directX 10 and installing directX 9 no change the mouse disappears opening his game, sent email to Nivida no reply as of yet.. 32bit Vista improvement over XP Pro. OMGmissinglink January 27th, 2008, 02:27 PM Short to the point Pulled the Nvidia 7900gt GPU, tried an Nvidia 8800gtx GPU updated GPU drivers / reinstalled directX10 / updated Vista SP1 / disabled DEP / "no help" the mouse disappears as you load his game. are there any suggestions what might cause the mouse to disappear its it a Nivida driver problem or Vista OS problem. CCT January 27th, 2008, 03:03 PM OMG - 1 fix I read about was to turn of the 'mouse trails' option that had been set to 'on' by default. OMGmissinglink January 27th, 2008, 03:22 PM OMG - 1 fix I read about was to turn of the 'mouse trails' option that had been set to 'on' by default. Thanks CCT: tried that option also. "no help". CCT January 27th, 2008, 03:35 PM Apparently CoH/V had this problem and there is a fix - have a look at their site. OMGmissinglink January 27th, 2008, 03:53 PM Apparently CoH/V had this problem and there is a fix - have a look at their site. His game is not CoH btw please if you've any other fix ideas/suggestions by all means post a reply. Tried both PS2/USB mouses 2 different brands of each flavor all mouses disappears. CCT January 27th, 2008, 04:02 PM Well, since you haven't as yet said just what game it is that is involved in the problem, that was the best I could do! :) OMGmissinglink January 27th, 2008, 04:10 PM Well, since you haven't as yet said just what game it is that is involved in the problem, that was the best I could do! :) He plays several games online games not PC games off hand I don't recollect the names though the problem persists on all his games. CCT January 27th, 2008, 04:19 PM You could always try the shortcut edit on one of the game shortcuts and see if it works - just change the target info/name: "1-Right click your desktop shortcut for the (game). 2-Select 'Properties'.

OMGmissinglink January 27th, 2008, 06:43 PM Or add mouse trails and make them short. As I've posted I've tried every mouse configuration possible I'm starting to believe the problem resides within Vista/other forums suggested disabling DEP done that also so I've re enabled DEP. I know ATI cards have issues with gaming and Vista also most our PC builds we use Nvidia's GPU's very few customers want ATI cards for gaming, thought I'd try removing directX trying reinstalling both versions 9 and 10. NooNoo January 28th, 2008, 06:08 AM CCT's idea of the compatible pointers switch may well be valid for other games. Have you turned down hardware acceleration? OMGmissinglink January 28th, 2008, 01:08 PM CCT's idea of the compatible pointers switch may well be valid for other games. Have you turned down hardware acceleration? NooNoo, No haven't tried that besides that might or might not work, thought about trying ATI GPU card but I know ATI cards have issues with Vista and gaming also/ I'll try your suggestion though. CCT January 28th, 2008, 04:45 PM Time to get specific - what kind of mouse, what software (ir any)? If it is a USB and runs software (like Intellimouse), try installing one with NO software, just the HID driver.

Had he not misinterperted what I posted in post #47 then he had no reason insinuatuatin and making senile remarks about my postings!!! Now either you can or cannot control your moderators and posters in a fashionable way and I'm not about to go through every thread CCT "troll posted" NooNoo posts this is not reguarding NooNoo's posts its reguarding CCT's posts. NooNoo January 29th, 2008, 05:16 AM OMG, it is one thing to get into a technical discussion and disagree, it is quite another to tell the Jupitermedia Online Community Manager that he can't control his moderators in a "fashionable" way. JP is in charge of all the forums that are part of JupiterMedia - JupitermediaOnlineMedia Networks: internet.com | EarthWeb.com | DevX.com | Mediabistro.com | Graphics.com Windrivers is a part of Internet.com which own alot of online forums. I am pretty sure he understands the meaning of "trolling" and what posts constitute "trolling". By the way... what do you mean by fashionable? I have never seen "fashionable" used in this context before. NooNoo January 29th, 2008, 05:52 AM I have split this thread off from the original since the original thread was about Nero 7, not NVidia 7 series. As a result, CCT's reference to post #53 above needs to be viewed as #post 30 (http://forums.windrivers.com/showthread.php?t=81254) It occurred to me that it would unfair on Sunrise and others who had a problem with Nero 7 and Vista if the thread had to be locked because OMG has a problem with a mouse and Vista. JPnyc January 29th, 2008, 07:15 AM Sorry, there is nothing remotely insulting or troll-like about his post. He made a claim, you made another. That isn't trolling. It isn't even rude. It's disagreement. CeeBee January 29th, 2008, 12:08 PM I can confirm 7800GT works with Vista, both 32 and 64 bit. Yes, for games...

In XP Pro, the Mouse settings access in Control Panel has a Pointer Option called 'hide pointer when typing'. Is it similar in Vista and if so and it is checked perhaps un-checking it is worth a try.
