The often misunderstood middle child, sat between the cute little Windows 7 and the cobbled old geezer, Windows XP.

On Windowblinds 6

If you have Vista, uninstall 5 before you install 6. Especially if you have a lot of skins. Otherwise, this will happen:

Network Command Shell (netsh.exe) Error Fix

Yesterday I booted in to Vista only to discover that almost every program that ran on startup crashed, followed by “Network Command Shell has stopped working”.

At first I thought this had knocked out my networking because my Internet wasn’t working.
I was looking all through my network settings and router settings trying to see if anything was wrong but it was all working kosher.
After a lot of debugging I noticed 64 bit applications could access the Internet. IE7 x64 was successfully surfing. So I did a search for x64 related Internet issues.

Turns out it’s all NOD32′s fault. Uninstalling NOD32 and rebooting fixed it. Fuckin’ thing. Now I’m Anti-Virus free and I’m Lovin’

Vista Games Explorer Editor

Vista Games Explorer Editor allows you to add new games or modify (some*) of the existing games.
It’s still in the beta stages and is a bit dodgy but it works really well.
To add new games you need to overwrite an existing game. For example I overwrote Battlefield 2 and replaced it with all the info for Infernal. Now BF2 isn’t in the games explorer but Infernal is.
To get BF2 back in there, simply run the game. Now I have BF2 and Infernal in there.
Rinse and repeat for all the games

In case you were wondering, Vista has been my primary operating system for quite some time now. Around two months I’d say. I rarely boot in to XP any more. The only time I do it’s to scan something or to confirm compatibility issues. I used to go in to it to print as well, but the printer miraculously started working for no apparent reason the other week, so there’s that.
The display drivers are still letting me down though. Infernal runs like hell on Vista. What’s weird is that Fraps reports that I’m getting something like 80-90 FPS but I’m still getting staggery/framey playback. It’s like it’s dropping a few frames between the video card and the display.
