linh i know exactly what you're talking about. my sister got a new laptop yesterday it was like HELL trying to install photoshop. omg i was getting so mad. T_______T but vista is BEAUTIFUL. i LOOOOVE how pretty it is, but i don't know how to find anything D:

lol..exactly! pretty, but it's such a mess for a person like me. The media part is driving me crazy. I can't play ANYTHING...including downloaded songs, videos, cds... *sighs and rummages around online for possible solutions*

Maybe you are mising the divx/xvid codec? Trying downloading it. :O *snuggles*

gumdropsx May 23 2007, 06:08:17 UTC

I thought I was missing a codec at first too, but then, it's weird cuz everything played fine before...but then I downloaded the codec pack I always use, and apparently it's not compatible w/ windows vista. -__- LOL...i'm gonna try asking my computer techie friend and hope for the best. ^^

How did you manage to download clubbox with vista?

gumdropsx August 23 2007, 00:13:53 UTC

I read in forums that it worked for ppl once they disabled the User Account Control feature, so I tried it and I was able to use clubbox

1. click the windows start button and select run.

2. type in "msconfig" and hit enter

3. a warning will pop up...click continue

4. click on the "Tools" tab and scroll down to the Diable UAC list.

5. after highlighting "Disable UAC", click launch. this should cause a window with a dos program that says that the operation was successful.

6. close the window and restart.

Hopefully that works for you.
