I do. I gave up. I rebuilt my Vista PC as dual boot with XP and I use that instead if I want to play RCT. In fact I use Vista only when I want to play a game that needs DirectX 10. I use XP for EVERYTHING else.

^ Lol!
I do too!!
Just tested things out last year on my son's pc with Vista.....and hated it (not only for RCT...)
When I unexpectedly had to build and install a new pc for myself -more than enough room and power for Vista- I just chose to install XP again....did not even care to make it a dual boot with Vista, but that's probably because I don't play many other other games than RCT....maybe that time will come still...but honestly, I'm not looking forward to it....

I dual booted with vista on my xp system and it is really bad, so I took it off. And rcthelp, you can get mostly all games for vista to work on xp (eg. halo2 and gears), just google search "*name of game* on xp tutorial"

Thanks but I just don't like Vista, and nearly all of the games I play won't work on Vista without turning off most of the Vista features that are the only reason that you'd want to use Vista in the first place!

Settlers 6
Company of Heroes
Flight Simulator X

are the only reasons I load up Vista.

Im saying that you can play those on xp.

[rcthelp]

Yes but FS X is optimised for Vista, and CoH has a DirectX 10 version. DirectX 10 is not available on XP.

[Upperlevel the great]

yes but all games that can be played on DX10 can be played on DX9, you just have to make it think that you have DX10. But since you already have vista (and I'm assuming you payed for it) it wouldn't make sense to go through the trouble.

so actually you just say hes right .....
