Question Solved: Vista Doesn't recognize anything on my computer....
I recently installed Vista Ultimate on my second drive partition (didn't want to give up XP yet)
Now i have two OS, but i'm having trouble with Vista. It doesn't detect any of my programs, it says no programs installed on this computer, it doesn't recognize my graphics card either (ATI RADEON X1200) My modem doesn't start at all... But when I try XP, everything works just fine.
Should I reinstall all my programs on the second hard drive partition to make them work on Vista?
And what can I do for the graphics card and modem...

You will need to re-install drivers and programs that you want to use, otherwise the Windows 7 has nothing to run. Its exactly the same as having a brand new PC as far as the OS is concerned.

Maybe at launch... I wouldn't claim such a thing now. Not to mention Vista Drivers generally work fine in 7, at least until more vendors port over.

I really wish people would stop slamming Vista with all this false information!

Solved! I just reinstalled the drivers and all went fine. Vista works great for now, actually it works so good I don't want to upgrade to WIn 7 :}
Thanks for the replies
