Rajbir Singh | Here’s an excellent article I found while surfing the internet. If you are having reliability problems in Windows Vista, then it is a must read for you.
I don’t buy into all the “Windows Vista is rubbish” rhetoric that’s been floating about. Rather than rely on collective hearsay I much rather collect my own data. Also, when it comes to operating system reliability problems that look like they are down to the OS are usually down to something else – a bad driver or a rogue application.
Some of the steps I have taken to reduce problems are:
- Apply all patches and updates from Microsoft
- Update critical drivers (graphics card/chipset and so on)
- Flash the BIOS (companies like ASUS put out a lot of BIOS updates, and usually there are good reasons for this)
- Update applications that cause instability (if this isn’t possible, consider replacing the buggy applications with another)
Honestly, if people use some amount of common sense while using the OS it is a really nice OS to work with.
The guy has pointed out to one of the neatest app that puts an end to whether it was the OS at fault or application at fault debate.
