Thanks for your suggestions!

I'll have to check in on this a little bit later, for now it's just X-mas for a couple of days.
What is UAC?
And re-installing XP is actually a quite possible solution to my problems, but that would of course make the money for the Vista a complete waste...

Go for a.exe to install.
I am running IL2 and many other games on Vistax64, no problems whatsoever.
Do a search for UAC in "Help" and you will learn what it is and how to disable it if needed.

Vista 64 is one of the best operating systems to date, you just have to know how to use it. It was the same when xp came out (anyone else remember endless suggestions of "reinstall win98 or win2000"?). There's a few updates that improve performance that are not part of automatic updates, search the net or the windows downloads for them. Enjoy a stable version of windows for once .

Thanks alot for your answers!
Just using the a.exe-file solved the problem!

I'll have to use a litle (or maybe considerable) time to learn how to use Vista effectively. Usually you just start up the thing and use the features you know from the old OS, never really putting any effort into learning something new. And that's really a waste of resources on your computer..

Now, how to get max out of my new CPU.... but that will be another thread.

That is an awsome attitude! I'm so tired of the "I could do it the same way as I have for the last 5 years, vista must suck, I'm going back to xp", with that kind of thinking the Wright brothers would never have gotten off the ground, lol.

I still think the only difference between xp64 and vista64 is that you need new hardware for functions that maybe a very little minority can and will use.
Oh, and of course the new optics.
And you cant do anything you could do with xp because vista is deciding what you are allowed to do and what not.
For me it looks like: Leave your brain at the entry, we know what is good for you.
For me the only reason for vista is that ms had to have something new to sell.
Basically it doesn´t do a bit more than xp but costs much more.
Because it is new it doesnt have to be better.
Sorry couldn´t help it whe i read about the brave, new vista world.

Hi again!

I'm not one of the advanced users of the operating system, I usually just use it to copy/move files and run other aplications. Nevertheless, my impression of Vista Home Premium 64 thus far is very good. I still haven't used it much, but have installed IL-2, Photoshop, Office 2007 plus things like TrackIR 4, cordless joystick, laserprinter, Logitech cordless DJ for transfering music to the stereo i my livingroom etc.
Most things has gone smooth, the only downside is that my webcamera is incompatible with a 64 bit OS.
It seems to have a lot of quite userfriendly features that wasn't that easly achieved in XP.
As the price for this OEM version of Vista Home Premium 64 was only marginally higher than the price for XP, I see so far no reason not to recomend this OS for those who are about to buy a new operating system. Just upgrading is another case, though..

Well, on the above points you are technically correct, except that you can turn off those babysitter features. And don't just read about it, you need to experience an OS, vista has so much bad press that is inacurate there is no way to make a proper judgement just by reading around the internet.
