Maybe you should blame your sound card. :) Just bustin' your balls, but I use a M-Audio firewire Audiophile and it works great. :) But i never really "work" on the vista laptop... so yeah who knows.. Best of luck tho.

However this new machine is "only compatible with windows vista" because the technology is "so advanced". However, as most may be aware, Vista is not only a horrendous monstrosity that slowly chews its way through your valuable cheese reserve of patience but also it notorious for it driver calamities. My perfectly reasonable external Tascam audio card refuses to work with vista and attempting to make them get along has resulted in 2 system crashes and all around disfunction. Additionally all the new hardcore powerful PC laptops all seem to only support windows vista... Does any one know of an excellent external card (I was looking at something in the Motu ultralite/smaller RME area) that will peacefully co-exist with this horrendous operating system? And yes I know about 4/5s of the list has a mac and will quietly chuckle to themselves in a mixture of relief and contempt... hahaha Thank you, Ben Goodwin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
