When did the ticket system ever work? b:surrender

Hey Ajiuo, I'm not seeing any PM's from you from the past few months; when did you send it?


Also, can you describe exactly where the ticket system isn't working (with screen shot if possible)?

Avatars are mainstream anyway. Who needs them. b:chuckle

Oh I guess my pm didn't send either. xDD WTF frankie.
Also, I can't post a ss cus it wouldn't show what's wrong, but I can describe it.
I'll go to select the "game" or w/e it's called, first drop down menu. When I click on it, it won't stick or w/e. Like, I can keep clicking and clicking but it doesn't do anything.

Also, do you know exactly how much space this game will take up on a vista operating system? I'm getting a new comp (well not new but better than this POS) and i believe it has 3GB of space on it, altho might have more once i uninstall the Sims/all my custom content. b:laugh

It will take the same space as any other but vista? go buy urself a huge chunk of metal, works the same.

If you're getting a "new" comp, why would it have Vista?
Vista quit shipping with new PC's a couple years ago.
Microshaft probably set a record for fastest mainstream OS changeover.

The changeover from ME to XP wasn't faster?

if your comp will have 211 GB free, then that should be more than enough for PWI. And if you can, try and get a hold of a copy of Windows 7, it`s a lot less of a headache and a lot faster than Vista. b:victory

Vista SP1 and later is amazing. I've been running both Vista and W7 since they've come out. I've had less issues with post SP Vista than with W7. I also like Vista better because it's less simplified. b:victory

Unfortunately, in the near future that will prevent the patcher from updating properly due to outdated java. Besides, IE9 is out and it's way better than 8 was. Sure it's not Chrome, but it's like comparing Vista (IE8) to Windows 7 (IE9).

Yeah, except (at least for me) the forums are completely broken in IE9.

I've had so many problems with IE9, it's not even remotely funny.

So you're saying IE9 is worse than IE8? lol

how is Vista better than Win 7?

IE will never change as long it is a part of the operating system

My W7 machine has a random app pause problem and maybe once every 3 months will blue screen. Vista on it, absolutely no issues.

On this computer, I bought a new hard drive and W7. After the installation, while I was installing applications, I turned off UAC, but I still had to run some install programs as admin, and sometimes had to try reinstalling several times before it would take. Also, Windows Live wouldn't display youtube video in the messenger window, no matter what I tried to do. I gave up and went back to Vista because I was tired of the issues I was having just trying to set up a new installation.

Also, I've run Vista since it came out. I ran that Windows Experience program for 3 months on XP and recieved a free copy of Vista Ultimate when it came out. It had the initial file transfer bug and other common issues that went away before SP1. It's now running SP2. This installation has remained on 24/7 for up to 3 months at a time. It's almost as stable as my old XP system.

But that's just for me, a home computer junkie who even built an Elf 2 with my dad back in the early 80's.

Sheeple think Vista sucks because when it was first introduced, it did have a couple of major bugs. It was also the first version of UAC which hadn't been fined tuned and was really horrible. Also, just like XP, Vista at launch, was preloaded on a whole bunch of OEM systems with extra added bloatware that barely met system requirements for it so many people's first experience with it was that it was buggy and slow because it was put on so many low end machines.


I've always had Vista on high-end machines. Even from the beginning it was pretty great once the file transfer bug was fixed. UAC was still a problem for most people, but of course I turn that off... who doesn't?

BTW, there's really little difference between Vista SP2 and W7 SP1. With the exception of a few kernel changes and a few UI changes and reworked system configuration menus for some Control Panel items, they're basically the same if you have UAC turned off.

W7 is only a minor revision of the Vista code base and probably should have just been a Service Pack. The only thing is that Vista was hated for the reasons I outlined and they wanted to sell "a whole new, better and different OS". So they made minor UI tweaks and gave it a different name so they could re-sell the product everyone hated with a name they didn't hate. And it worked.

This proves my point:

Vista is complete garbage in comparison to....well everything except ME. Win 7 is the best OS Microsoft has put out to date. Don't get me wrong i loved 98 and XP as well, but Win 7 is better.

W2K was the most stable operating system next to NT4. Thank you for proving my point though.

BTW, almost everyone hated XP at launch. And SP2 hosed many thousands of people's systems. Most IT departments refused to upgrade from NT or W2K and many of them still run W2K to this date.

If you like Vista better, go to Win7. It's Vista, turbo boosted, and actually working properly.

Remember Windows ME? Yeah, Vista is kinda like that. Comparing Windows 7 to Vista is like comparing XP to ME.
Vista was the rush, "we need something new out there" release. Windows 7 is where they fixed the majority of the bugs and cleaned up the interface.

Comparatively, IE9 is where Microshaft finally got a clue and started copying from Chrome and Firefox. In the initial rankings it actually scored higher than Chrome and Firefox for speed and reliability.
