Vista Video Tutorials

16 years ago

I made the plunge and bought a new Toshiba notebook with Vista. I was shocked and overwhelmed when I powered up the laptop. I began to google for help to even understand the desktop! :) I've had XP for several years set up with the classic view and hope to do the same with Vista.

I'm posting a link to video tutorials I found last night. Perhaps they will be helpful to someone here, also.

Thanks Abreeze, I found that interesting. Especially the second from last video listed which I have linked to below. This is a very important video for those like myself who may consider moving from XP to Vista on an existing computer. I had installed and ran the compatibility program from Microsoft to see if my machine is good enough. It is with minor changes suggested, having seen that video I will run the compatibility test again and read the report more closely to be sure I can enjoy all the benefits available.

You're welcome, owbist. I'm thankful I was able to contribute something to the forum. The Cnet tutorials are amazing. I didn't know about them until last night.

Unfortunately, I've run into quite a snag with Vista. I made sure Audacity would work with Vista before purchasing a laptop. However, today I've discovered that there's no external sound card with a dedicated line in port that's compatible with Vista... Even spoke with Creative Labs. The first man told me their new sound card is available from Dell with a line in port. (It will be widely available after the 15th.) At Dell's site I found that it's an optical in only for a mic which won't work for me. Called Creative Labs and spoke with another man. He confirmed that they do not have a card with a line in port as yet compatible with Vista. He told me to get a laptop with XP! sigh....

Hmmm, Could it be that you still have the tool selected and just don't realize it? For example, I select the paintbrush tool and do some painting on my butterfly image, then I go up to the menu at top (the mouse cursor will change to an arrow) and open another image to copy something from it into the butterfly image I'm working on. When I go back into the project work area (big space where my butterfly image is) I will still have the paintbrush tool selected unless I choose a different tool from the tool box. I can have a tool selected and with my mouse go to a window or the menu at top and the mouse cursor will change from whatever tool I have selected to an arrow. However when I go back to my project area the mouse cursor will change back to show the tool I have currently selected.
