I’ve been running the Vista beta’s for a while now, Got my hands on build 5456 the other day, I’ve found this build to be the closest i’ve got to running Vista beta as my primary os. The only thing holding me back was my gamming at home. all my work apps run, and as we use citrix anything that doesn’t i run as published applications.
So to the gaming testing i went.
Quake 4 worked but i hardly play it.
Quake 3 worked but i found i couldn’t adjust the gamma in game and due to the darkness of the game it was unplayable. Due to Nvidia’s drivers at this point not allowing me to adjust the gamma, i thought i was doomed.
Anyway, i remembered a program i used to use years ago. Powerstrip, so i went hunting, found that the program still exists, downloaded and installed it hoping my vista install wouldn’t bluescreen on reboot. on reboot, the pc was working and indeed i was able to adjust the gamma using powerstrip. So now my Quake 3 is functional.
So here’s to Vista as my primary OS for the timebeing.
