Now it's my turn...

Look here for screenshot. This is the style on DeviantArt.

I don't use the sidebar or top dock thing anymore, I was just experimenting with what was possible. I sometimes use the sidebar when I'm not playing games because it's kinda neat. I still use the same style though, and apart from wallpaper that's pretty much what it looks like. Easy to install too.

Nah, I kinda prefer the orig Vista theme.

Anyway, am I right in that thinking about monitor connectors?

[Calneon]

Yeah, using a converter will be fine.

[D_K_Head]

is that widescreen?

[Calneon]

DK, If you're on about mine, yeah it is (check my photos). VoX's proposed 22" is widescreen if that's what you meant.

[ez64]

very unlucky. and you've listed most of the things i hate about vista :P

maybe its just because i prefer older games...

Or maybe its just every older game I play including ones before you or I were born work exactly the same in x64 vista than they do in xp.

Made another £15 today so I'm getting closer all the time!

Very true, Planescape Torment, Baldurs Gate, all those lovely infinity engine games, work perfectly on Vista.

The main games with the most problems tend to from 2004 onwards, and even then 99% can be fixed by turning off UAC and the freakin' sidebar.

I actually like Vista tbh, the only problems I have ever encountered (and I used the Vista BETA before it was released) is where GT Legend's already stupid and broken anti-piracy didn't get on with Vista (yes.. it was a legal copy phantom), and Dungeon Siege didn't work with SP1 for some odd reason, easily fixed with a patch. Vista looks better, generally runs faster in my experience, has DX10 (legally), and is much more customisable than boring old XP.

Anyway, looks to me like a good setup, then again I know nothing about hardware do I lads ;D

Just saying this now - two points;

1. @DK - I'll second this. I don't like to see people turn into smacktards and thus banned. Please don't become one. Plus, not calling me V-Bewbs might be a start to getting me on side.

2. @VH - I quite like the fact you used stars for He Who Must Not Be Named. Was that you, or is it the forum that does that?

[Vicious Horizon]

It was me

[VoX]

It was VH, AFAIK there is nothing like that installed in the forum.

Let's try and not start a flame war, mkay?

[Calneon]

Haha, I'd laugh so much if Chalex has filtered the word Hutch.

[Isphera]

It would be quite funny. And VoX, it's nothing but a bit of harmless banter/telling people how it is

[VoX]

Ok, just don't let it escalate from the "Friendly banter" stage into the "I'll bust a cap in yo' ass fool!" stage.
