Round and Round and Round

The little page pop-out from the Clipboard does nothing but spin around whenever I log in on my laptop (which is Vista BTW). Doesn't do it on any of my other computers except the wife's, which is also Vista.

Maybe something to look into with people buying new machines and XP no longer being available?

Spinning clipboard is a well known Dual Core bug (not AH). What specs does your Laptop have (dxdiag)?


Also, Skuzzy reported in another thread that with windows Vista, he had seen all sorts of stuff. From "works perfect" to impossible to launch some applications. Vista is still mostly a wild guess and roulette where drivers and things are concerned.

I'm running a dual core AMD Turion64.

You should take a look at the sticky for dual core processors in the Hardware & Software forum.

Hmmm, I don't think it's Vista compatible and don't wanna screw my laptop up this early in it's life. hehe.

I'll just stick to playing on my PC.

AMD is currently working on a Dual Core Driver for Vista.  Should be available soonish.
