I find it absolutely astonishing that we aren't surprised to see these 5 words begin ANY sentence. Sorry to hijack Eric Just had a client of mine drop off a Vista computer tonight and ask me a similar question beginning with the SAME 5 words. It got me thinking...we shouldn't be asking why an OS isn't "letting" us do anything lol. Vista destroyed my evening Ok, I'm done... Again, Sorry man

DirectSound is no-longer used in Vista, so that would probably have something to do with it.

Vista just sucks in general to be honest.

If i could just get DX10 to work on XP on all games ( i can only get some to work) then i would never be on Vista. It drives me mad how it asks for conformation on everything you try and do, and then doesnt let you do alot of things.
