Hey guys,
Recently my computers been really dicky. Its telling me that my system is at service pack 3 yet on my windows updates, its coming out that i need to update to Service pack 2. I try to install it but it obviously tells me theres a newer version already installed.
Bit annoying really because I need a certain update with vista that has a missing dxgi.dll file in it.
Main reason i cant even play blackops 2

best bet fella is to reformat and upgrade to windows 7 or 8 if you feel brave.
Vista is such a buggy, slow piece of crap, you really are missing out on so much by not upgrading to Win7.
It was a half hearted OS that was a rush between what should have been windows 7, the same as Windows Me was the poor bridging gap between 98 and 2000.

In terms of speed and performance over Win7 and 8, Vista is a bag of bolts.

Yea, performance wise its slower. But its still a solid platform to work from.

I didn't have any big problems with vista but it is crap compared to 7. Not many reasons to still be using it.
