Switching to vista,,,

[gypsy]

hi all.

I'm strongly contemplating making a MAJOR upgrade. I want to upgrade my pc from 32bit WinXP to 64bit Win Vista Ultimate. New ram, PCI-E card the whole works. along with the Adobe CS3 Editing Suite. (I got a BIG bonus )

I'm just concerned. I'm a HUGE amvapp supporter and I'm wondering if the amvapp will work with vista and / or premiere cs3 and AE cs3? I'm currently working on a amv and i'm hoping to finish it soon and it'll be a real b@$$ if it doesnt work.

Thanx.

P.S. If this has been asked b4, I'm sorry. I searched ut didn't find anything.

I'll be upgrading next week, so I'll let you know.
I think amvapp has some minor problems, but it should mostly be ok. I think all adobe CS3 software should be vista compatable.

May sound like a stupid question, but since you mentioned going for an OS upgrade and didn't mention a cpu upgrade, you do have a 64bit processor, right?

Hey gypsy, I just recently upgraded Vista Ultimate, and I had the same worries. I've installed amvapp (I believe the newest version) and everything has worked fine so far. You'll get errors when it attempts the tests, but everything else should pan through fine. As for CS3, I'm pretty sure it was developed with Vista in mind, and I've even been using some CS2 software that works perfectly fine (again, so far, dunno if things will crap up when I do something obscure in the future)

Hope this helps,

I am using Adobe Creative Design Suite CS3 with Vista and its works great. I think it was meant to use with Vista...kinda.

You shouldn't get Vista, espeically if you want to do some video editing as it will lag terribly, and i'm a pretty good spec computer =/ also vista isn't comaptible with some softwares like skype, with when you start these softwares up you will get disconnected as well, pretty much vista is just glitchy, i would reccomend just getting your comp upgraded and staying with XP

Uhh, post your specs? I'm running a moderately good computer, and Vista works perfectly fine with any editing I've done so far. Skype, among a whole lot of other software that was supposed to have issues, also works totally fine. Maybe you should upgrade your software?

That's pretty much what I've got for specs, check for any software updates on your main programs, is it stalling (lagging) just in general, or with certain programs?
(Kill the sidebar, if you haven't already, it's pretty buggy right now, might clean things up a little )

Ok ty O:

but i would still reccomend staying there with XP, its just alot more reliable and theres nothing really to gain from going to vista
