Oh sorry, missed the Vista part earlier...I take back that contradiction

I don't understand why people use Vista as an excuse for something, then others accept that and go "ah, Vista, yeah no wonder you were having trouble.."

I have Vista and have never had any problems, maybe you're all using a different version to me?

no... you are right. I don't have any real issues with vista apart from:

The price
The "administrator rights" so I have to enter a password every time I want to open my documents.
Same as above for every folder on the computer.
Slow for gaming

But other than that, its OK. I hear people hate it because it crashes all the time and its really unstable but it's really not too bad. But the file administrator crap REALLY, REALLY annoys me.

Then turn UAC off. (Control Panel>User Accounts>Turn User Account Control On / Off>Uncheck Box>Restart)

Jeez for someone who says they are technically literate you do have some problems using Google to get round annoyances.

EDIT - I'm with garph - no issues about running Vista. Never had to "Run as Admin" or anything like it at all.
