Hi,

I have some problems with the graphics on my Vista Home premium. Sometimes (really depending where you place apps and windows on the screen) I get really strange graphics on my screen, flickering windows, lines and distorted screens and stuff like that. It is pretty hard to discribe but it looks really weird. If Vista creates a message in the lower right corner (over the gadget bar) it flickers and looks weird. The prioblem can also simply be created by clicking on the speaker icon in the lower right corner and open it (the volume slider), now without touching anything at all the little volume dialogue flickers and creates lines and polygons throughout the gadget screen. This effect is randomly created with opened apps and windows on the standard desktop. I hope that this describes the problem I have.

HiI upgraded from the Vista Business that was installed on my laptop to Vista Ultimate and the sound stopped working. The device manager shows the SigmaTel driver is working and the speaker icon on the taskbar is showing ok but there is no sound...

hey guys i just got a new laptop and im having a huge problem. ANY audio that comes out of the speakers is crackly. even when i startup the system, the vista startup noise pretty much lags and sounds just...crackly! it has integrated sound btw. ive...

I have had windows Vista installed for a day and I got to say I like it. I found that the whole interface is very nicely redone. After using it for a while I came across the speech recognition part. It is such a major part of the operating system I don't know why Microsoft isn't advertising it more. When I was done going through the training session I could write paragraphs with only a few mistakes. It has the ability to use the entire OS without even touching the mouse or keyboard.

I have seen drawbacks in gaming though. Games seem to run at a lower framerate. Also, I have onboard RealTek 97 audio. I encountered audio skipping in gameplay.
