Vista is just a version of Windows; the version after Windows XP and before Windows 7. If a machine is Vista-ready or Vista-compatible, it just means that the hardware and available drivers are compatible with Windows Vista. You might be able to run that PC on Windows 7 or 8, but it depends, and you would have to check with the manufacturer to find out what all it is compatible with.
Yes I have a computer that runs both.
Vista is not a computer, vista is an Operating System. Vista has nothing to do with where the reset button is. If you click on the Start button (normally in the bottom-left corner of the screen), there should be on option there that says 'Restart' or 'Shutdown.' Clicking on the little arrow next to the button and selecting the 'Restart' option will reset your computer.
Drivers and an Operating System such as Mac OSX or Windows Vista are essential.
You can download a tool from Microsoft which will test your computer for capability with running Vista. The link is: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/get/upgrade-advisor.aspx You may also want to check any peripherals; for example, check you can get drivers for your printer/scanner/video. um is my computer fast or a very good computer if it has 2 cores and 3 gig of ram
On my '87 Vista, the computer is under the driver's seat.
This is because when a program runs in Windows Vista that isn't compatible with ceirtain visual element of Windows Vista (Usually due to it being an older version of the program) is will change the theme to Vista Basic in order for the program to run properly.
If it is vista, shove it in the bin. If it is XP, Upgrade to windows 7 or shove it in the bin
Answering "Why does your computer keep changing the screen resolution in vista?"
yes
The processor's speed depends on the processor, not the operating system. To view your computer system's properties (processor's specifications among other things) go to "my computer." There you should see something that says "System Properties" or something to that effect (I can't remember exactly what it says on vista, since I use Windows 7 now). Hope that helps!

find out who made the printer and when you've got that go to there web site and find a tab or button the says something like download or drivers or support if you find support they should have a driver button in there. and find the model you have and see if they have vista drivers for it. if not your out of luck and the printer will not work with vista.
