I just just put BF2 back on my PC after putting vista 64 Bit on but Punk Buster keeps giving me this error message "Restriction: you do not have the O/S privileges" I am the admin on my Comp and the only user/account.
I am VERY close to reinstalling XP vista 64 cant run 4GB ram (have hotfix) run games and is just abit slower.
Whats the point? Why should i settle for second best?
I envy those of you that have no hassle with this OS.

Many thanks!

Yes, I have read the list (it's 17 bloody pages) and it seems pretty impressive to be honest. Speeds will go up by 50% while copying on the same disk, etc (which either means WOW or which means: woow it sucked before). Also a lot of known errors will be fixed. Drivers are getting better. After service pack 1, I assume a lot of problems will fade. (not all, but a lot)

I'm about to explode in anticipation.

As far as functionality/stability, Vista = Fails IMHO

I have RC1 of SP1 and to be honest with you it hasn't fixed a lot of things but its only early days yet I suppose.

vista itself is fail but if you want dx10 you got to have it installed.
