    I tried to download Texas Hold'em for my Vista Ultimate and it failed after 93% downloaded. Any ideas?   So far it is a very disappointing OS for software.  I just purchased a scanner, Fujitsu ScanSnap, which has Adobe Acrobat 7 and other software which won't run even in Compatablity Mode and 2 Samsung DVD drives which cannot run the OEM (Nero)software on it, without PURCHASING an upgrade. Thank goodness I have a dual boot system and still have my XP to run all of my other 50 programs and not have any down time. I do like the look and the ease of use Office 2007, however looks don't get the job done!!!!!  You need better ompatablity with old programs.

    Another thing, Vista Ultimate won't Slide Show any of my pix except in Media Center.  I would like to use them as a screen saver.  All I get is an error box.

    Hey CoCo:  technical support for Windows Vista dn Ultimate Extras is best sought at the public Windows Vista newsgroups, where there are tons of experts with the ability to help you out.  (Sounds like you may need to re-attempt the download.)

    With respect to application compatibiity, some devices will require a newer driver version for use with Windows Vista, so it's a good idea to check for those from the manufacturer's site.  If/when the manufacturer makes new drivers available to us, we'll have them on Windows Update.  You can find more information on app compat at this link:  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsvista/aa905066.aspx.
