Is Windows Vista Compatible With Clubbox?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering, is Windows Vista compatible with clubbox? My little brother just installed windows vista by hacking it and changing the trial date to year 2099. I want to install it too, but I'm afraid that clubbox might not work with it or some other programs as well.

Clubbox is like my 1st source of download to download korean dramas and without it, I might go crazy. At the same time, Windows Vista looks really cool that's why I want to install it....

Have anyone installed Windows Vista yet? If so, does clubbox work with it?

Would there be anyway to make clubbox compatiable with Windows Vista?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just really curious about this that's all. Hope to get some replies soon!

I can't answer your question since I do not have Vista installed on my computer. Plus I am one of those retards who does not know who to use clubbob.

But I can tell you I had a chance to get Vista for my computer. I decided not to install in on my computer because I am afraid I would have many problems with other programs I have on my computer. Mostly my burning and dvd authoring programs. Just can't take the chance right now.

Well I have vista running on my laptop and tried it out and it has been working for me.No probs...Well I think if you have IE 7, it should automatically work since it has a compatibility with IE 7.

I don't use Clubbox but supposedly it works. And the IE thing the guy above me said makes sense. I don't think it matter what operating system since it's primarily browser based.

While your question is only if Clubbox works with Vista, I feel the need to STRONGLY recommend against upgrading to Vista. Unless yu have a VERY high performance PC and yur willing to go through hours of searching for drivers, Vista will just lead to many problems. The driver support is horrible. The resource usage is VERY high. Most people that have learned their way around XP struggle to use Vista. The learning curve is supposedly very large. And I don't believe it's possible to downgrade to XP once you've installed Vista. Sorry for going a bit off topic.

it's a lot like xp...just prettier. it does behave differently, but mostly for security concerns which you'll come to appreciate.

but everything you see should be pretty familiar, except for the new sidebar. but that's not really part of the OS. I could probably zip it to you and have you run it on XP (i'm guessing).

Ah, thanks for all the replies!

I'll be sure to test out clubbox on my little brother's laptop first since he has windows vista installed. But like you all say, I just need IE 7 so hopefully, that works as well.

*Edited: Would all my files and programs be deleted if I install Windows Vista?

they shouldn't be deleted. but it's best to backup yur important stuff before upgrading. if yu think yu can handle it, and yu've got the space for it, google "dual boot"
it'll let yu run both XP and Vista. when yu start yur PC it'll ask which operating system yu want to load. this'll let yu test out vista before really getting rid of XP. i'm probably gonna do this some time soon as i'd like to test out Vista completely. i'll prolyl end up triple booting with Linux too while i'm experimenting.

Kandi, i suggest using xp. vista security is a lot better than xp but not yet fully compatible with a lot of drivers/softwares.

Well when I installed my vista on the same partition, it gave a choice to backup the old setting/files into "windows.old"and nothing was changed, even the files on the hd like videos/mp3s were still in the same directionary as they were before, only way to access is to go through the windows.old directory to get to them and just move it around.After moving my files, I just deleted windows.old and name all that is left is vista ultimate.

sidenote: Only bitchy thing about vista was that for my laptop, the high definition audio driver was messed up and didn't function, so my speakers didn't work till I had to d/l the only xp driver then it worked.So far only two driver problems aside from that, everything is smooth.Now if they only didn't mess up the folder options settings, cus now I don't even know where the hell it went.I think it got moved to control panel(too lazy to google search to find where it is)

My dad was the one who installed the Vista so I don't know exactly how he did it but I could not get Clubbox to work at all.

I am at the part where i can click which files I wanted to dl, it will pop up a small window which shows the files I wanted and I clicked on the middle button and then another small window would pop up and that's it. The actually CB itself won't open for me. I don't know why, can someone please help me?? I haven't been able to access CB for a week now (sigh)..

From my experience Clubbox just doesn't work in vista right now.
But I'm sure they must be working on it. It really shouldn't take that long to port such a simple app to vista.
Although knowing how shoddy korean web developers' code can be I'm betting it'll take a decent amount of work for them
(although no matter how shoddy you are the codebase for an app like this shouldn't grow too much).
