Jeeeeeez what a total load of crap..Vista and Nvidia work
perfectly...always have, who gave you this information?
I DID, nVidia SUX! (Joking...)
It's not a load of crap nVidia has some issues, but usually on the SLI
front, (and most of that stuff is fixed now) but not with SOLITARE. nVidia
cards and chipsets are on a "vast" majority of PCs (I don't know exact
numbers, that's why I said "vast".) If nVidia was really having problems
we'd hear about it. Not to mention I wouldn't be typing this to you since
all my Vista boxes use nVidia cards.
Whoever told you nVidia cards don't work with Vista probably works for/gets
paid by ATi or AMD. Don't get me wrong, ATi cards are good, the x1550 is
prety cheapo, but for Solitare it should work fine.
As for the message, if you spent "months" working on this problem what
suggestions did you receive? I mean if you did the driver troubleshooting,
did you ever replace the card? Probably was simply a defective card.
Replacing the card with a new one would of resolved the problem.
Sorry you had problems, but whoever is your IT guy, fire him/her and hire
someone else. He/She's only making you look like an ass.
Also, Vista runs "ok" with 512 Ram. If you can't get Solitare to run in
Vista it's not the ram. Yes, programs borrow ram, it's called multitasking.
Yes, more ram means less waiting and less swapping from RAM to the HD. The
black screen usually occurs when Vista tries to elevate a program to admin
level. Dunno if that'll ever be fixed.
Argh, JB don't listen to Sarah, please.
