  Beware: VISTA !!!

  Posted by Chris Lamela on May 28, 2010 at 11:22 pm

  I posted yesterday that I was having trouble with corrupted video that I wanted help to overlay frames to correct.

  I was using a computer with VISTA, Nvidia graphics controller, and AMD Turion 3.6 Ghz dual core processor. I got frustrated with the computer constantly going to the Blue Screen of Death, and so moved the project over to a machine with XP, Nvidia, and Pentium 4 2.6 Ghz processor. And guess what …

  The video is not actually corrupted! I was CHASING GHOSTS (very repeatable ghosts, mind you) that weren’t actually there! The video now plays all 14 minutes flawlessly with no tricks.

  So was it VISTA, the Nvidia controller, or cosmic rays? I have had so many problems with VISTA that I am laying all those frustrating hours at Bill’s feet.

  So thank you that responded, and sorry to lead you on a vacant errand, but maybe this will help someone else. Thanks again.

  No one should be using Vista now that Windows 7 is here. Vista is a dismal failure. Microsoft did a great job on Windows 7 and there is no reason for anyone to spend another day fighting Vista. I for one couldn’t wait to format my hard drive and install Windows 7 and I’ve been extremely happy ever since. Vista was a very bad experience.
