#Michael Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 In terms of Zonealarm....few to none firewall or A/V programs work with Vista as of yet. So far the only firewall that works is the built in one. Some have said that they can get NOD32 to work but it takes 100% cpu useage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F|shy Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Well i murdered my first install, everything was going so well, wireless installed itself omg! So i decided to install NOD32 and MSN 7.5 beta, rebooted and it just kept locking up after loading msn and nod32. Seems pretty limited so far as to what we can install on Vista. Successful: Philips 605 sound card (utility doesn't work tho), Teamspeak 2, Winamp 5, Download Express, BitTornado. Failures: WoW (the installer on disc crashed Vista entirely :() A lot of things just seem to randomly kill it. Not complaining though, MS are going the right way with this i think (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
