Vista Final Straw

[wallisj]

Ok ... vista is now officially doing my head in and i'm just about ready to roll back to XP

Basically got these problems:

1. On boot up, WiFi net adapter doesn't start properly (Netgear WPN111) and have to unplug and re-plug every time

2. Remove USB thumb drive (even with safely remove hardware) occasionally kills ALL usb devices (keyboard, mouse, network, readyboost thumbdrive etc)

3. Logitech quickcam (new one after vista came out) occasionally doesn't work in skype. Run the sound check voicemail call ok but then make a call to real person and it doesn't work

ALL these problems did NOT exist in XP.

Is USB THAT flaky in vista?

Seems like its all USB device related.

I don't have vista, but i do get it when the USB doesnt recognise upon startup and you have to unplug and then replug to get it going again on XP. I believe its something to do with my overclocking because it never used to do it.
