The new toy

[HR2]

Can anyone tell me if the upcoming Windows Bisto has got rid of the need to re-boot everytime you install something? If it ain't I won't bother with it. It doesn't seem much more than XP anyway.

 

[Dave A]

Yep, it has, but instead you just need to pour gravy over it :mrgreen:

Seriously, I have no idea, but I very much doubt it!

You don't need to reboot with XP - its just a precautionary measure.

Vista doesn't remove the need either - but don't get it if you have a very low-spec machine.

 

[HR2]

If you don't need to re-boot with xp or bisto why won't some programmes run until you do? Re-booting is the biggest curse of windows

You don't need too, it might just work a bit differently.

Ah Bisto...

It's Vista!

 

[HR2]

It's Vista!

You call it what you like. I 'll just call it more expensive gravy from micropoop. :glasses3:

 

[Tom]

Some programs were designed for 9X, so require reboot and complain until you do.

As Tom said you normally don't and it will all be OK - problem is stopping it from rebooting. Close the window it does it for you, etc.
