installed ok.... but thats where it all went wrong....
nvidia wouldnt let me install their latest drivers, since it said that the operating system wasnt vista.... despite trying to force the install through the device manager, it too decided that my drivers were up to date, although the ones that came with vista was signed July 2006....
ok, i could live with that, seeing as how it was going to be a htpc/media server... so the latest video drivers went all that important (not!)
so, proceeded to install sophos antivirus, which managed to upset windows defender since it wasnt "trusted", and would block it every time it auto loaded at start up.... when i tried to add it to the trusted list, defender would hang and a reboot would be needed.... okayy, i could live with that, so try to uninstall sophos... only to be told that the uninstaller didnt have the privileges to continue, despite admin rights.... so now i have a broken anti-virus...
hmm... i still can live with that.... install my TV card software (compro T200).. everything went well, but on starting, it told me that no display adapter could be found.... its auto-load scheduler also fell foul of windows defender....
finally, i tried to install my VNC server/client, guess what, first it gets flagged for being a "remote control virus" fine, added to "always allow", then it gets tagged by defender on startup... and guess what? defender hangs when i try to change any settings to it to allow any of my programs to run....
My question to everyone is, HOW DO I TURN OFF THIS IDIOTIC WINDOWS DEFENDER!!!!
everytime i try to do something its fair enough i need to click to allow things, but when this silly program tells me that i cannot do this, cannot do that, it is really annoying..... and to top it all off, it hangs and needs a reboot..... "%$£^£^$"$%£^$£^$£%....
I am 90% convinced i need to format and go back to WinXP and wait for vista to be fixed.....
