First off I want to say Vista is NOT slow and shitty... unless you have a slow and shitty PC

Yup, pretty much any new FPS game, the only somewhat recent big FPS game that doesnt use DirectX would be Doom 3, which is OpenGL
Counter-Strike: Source
Crysis
Need For Speed ProStreet
Unreal Tournament 3
So far I've played all of those 100% smooth and perfect on Vista....... There may be a few games that have minor bugs or a few small games that have some problems... but for the most part its not a problem. This shouldnt be a topic of whether Vista owns or not, it should be a topic trying to fix Red Chaos' problem.

All I'm going by is facts and personal experiences, I don't know what you're going by
Facts and personal experience. I have reformatted over 10 computers with Windows XP, over Vista. People hate it.
And since when is standing up for Microsoft mature?

Im not standing up for Microsoft "just because", im standing up for them because Vista is fine, the problems are way over hyped and people act like a bunch of sheep. Also people hate it because they dont want big change and a lot of average computer users dont use google to help solve their minor problems.

Reccomended RAM: 256MB*
*If Running on Vista Add 2GB
and by the way....everyone screaming that Windows ME sucked hard...were they sheep too?

Actually they were, and Paul Thurrott agrees with me, I never had a major problem with Windows ME either.. but thats not the topic here, the topic is to fix the OP's problem, you should make a new thread if you want to flame vista/me

thats just like asking any of the members of this board...what neopets cheat forums is the best. most of them will say Neocodex. whether right or wrong its still a biased opinion

On a side note, I have a desktop I used to play Lineage 2 with. This desktop has vista on it and Lineage 2 still lagged a bit when I played it. It may just be the game, not your system.

Fanboy for what? I never said Windows is better or worse than Linux or Mac. Vista and XP are made by the same company.
fanboy:
1. A person who is completely loyal to a game or company regardless of if they suck or not.
2. A person who loves something without question.
I've never said anything is better over anything, making me NOT a fanboy

Thank you for actually trying to contribute to the main purpose of the thread. +1 Yes I've heard its bad support from the creators of Lineage to support Vista properly. Not a Vista issue. If I program a game very shitty and it doesn't work properly on Vista, my fault. When I heard this it was a while back and apparently they were going to help support Vista better, but maybe it never happened

There is no way possible that you have NEVER had a problem with Windows ME, unless you (what it seems like) have never used Windows ME, since even moving the mouse on a fresh format would BSOD you and reboot and repeat.
To keep on topic, what are your computer specs? What quality are you running the game at? Try to lower the quality to the LOWEST settings and see if that fixes anything.

First computer was 98, went to ME, then XP, then to Vista and I have Linux on my laptop. Of course I had a few problems... but nothing too horrible where the OS was unusable or anything, IMO it was still much better than 98. but seriously I want to be done with all this, I hate being offtopic
