If anyone knows any help would be appreciated. Thanks Sascha, one last thing would I need the Windows XP Installation Disc to upgrade to Vista Premium? If anyone knows any help would be appreciated.

There is just a small issue in Flash when clicking in/out of movieclips. Thats an incompability that other apps have too (Eclipse and Photoshop CS2 have similar glitches). However switching to compability mode helps and lets not forget that CS3 is soon to be released. Will, they are compatible with Vista.

I'm thinking about upgrading but as a web developer these tools are essential and set me back quite a bit.

In my opinion the Audiophile is an excellent and inexpensive Pro card. I have 6ms latency when using audio applications with that card and I don't like to replace that card with any other in near future. So M-Audio should come up with drivers soon or they are banned forever! Tayga don’t misunderstand! In my opinion the Audiophile is an excellent and inexpensive Pro card.

I think m-audio can't show up without vista compatible stuff don't you think ? End of the month starts the Frankfurter musicmesse.

This solves the Flash zoom problem on Vista Ultimate for me. Right click on the shortcut to Flash, select Properties > compatibility: check “Disable desktop composition”.

I hope it's more than 'just playing Solitaire"! ;) The high rating comes mainly from your large amount of RAM and the quad cpu. Even a value of 5 is a very good Vista ranking for a PC! Dan, M-Audio is indeed slow with drivers but then again I have no experience with other Pro-Audio makers. The Logitech situation is a debacle! They seems to have become ridiculous! I can only hope they change their mind about providing Legacy drivers! There are several points that keep me back from using Vista: - Missing Drivers (Mouse, Sound), - No OpenGL (yet) - No compatible third party Firewall (or lets say since I'm using Zonealarm, it is not compatible yet). My Hardware is rather up-to-date so if these things were fixed I'd switch in a second simply because Vista is more stable and secure than XP (although I'm sure there is still much room for improvement) and IMHO Vista's look and feel is quite nice. @ViSTA STYLe and what do you do with your super computer?
