not really.
Thing is, it's quite likely your current programs aren't "Vista-Compatible" hence the glitches...i'd go to the software developer websites and check if there are upgrade/maintenance versions available to make them more compatible with the new windows OS.
and then probably do some 'googling' as to whether there are other people who are in your situation but managed to find some handy work arounds whilst on Vista. |

| You're doing what I'd recommend. I bought a new Dell desktop two months ago that came with Vista Ultimate and I ended up going back to XP 'cuz of compatibility issues with Corel and ProTools ... I can live without ProTools 'cuz Magix Music Maker does everything I need to do but I can't live without Corel. |

| I read years ago, and have stuck with, that you should always wait a good nine months to a year with ANY software upgrade so that all the kinks can be ironed out. Otherwise you end up spending more in time and/or money. |

| Microsoft want to control all the protocols and eliminate asio and introduce there own version which has been frowned upon by manufacturers and the end users. One of the concerns is microsoft want to add greater copy protection (of audio and video files) and will result in a multitude of hoops the end user has to jump through to get to work. Vista is currently unproven within audio and video environments and stability is questionable. XP (when the crap is trimmed away) is proven and stable and many professionals use the platform and report equal or better reliability than their mac and that is my experience too. Currently Vista is in no way a consideration for audio and video production. Its only 50/50 for general usage as its disappointingly poor. |

You've probably downgraded by now, since it's been nearly 2 months since you started this thread...
But did you know that Vista also allows you to Run programs in Compatibility mode? Just right click the .exe's shortcut or actual file & click on Properties, you'll see a Compatibility tab there, go ahead and check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and then choose your OS from the drop down menu. It has Windows Server 2003 all the way back to Win95.
Hope this has helped anyone who has had similar problems when upgrading to Vista. And also, remember, Vista uses more of your CPU than XP does/did, so if things are running a little slower and more jumpier then that might be why too, the same goes for your RAM. |
