Windows Vista in March 2008
Thu 13 Mar 2008Filed Under: Computers, Windows Vista
Windows Vista is being annoying again. I have been installing all the upgrades to Vista as they become available. However I have not seen any improvements at all. There are 2 really annoying things I’ve been trying to stop the OS from doing and have so far been unsuccessful.
1- Internet Explorer opens tabs and new windows when it wants to. It does not do what I tell it. They aren’t pop-ups or anything. This is a joke and a long running one.
2 – If you have a dial-up account Vista decides that it will be the default connection and the log in box appears when it feels like it, often when it is most annoying. I have tried everything to stop it appearing but it won’t stop it. This started when I created a new dail-up connection to be used in emergencies.
These Vista problems should not occur on a PC that has been clean installed with all the patches, with only an additional graphic editor and the MS Office package installed.
