Vista and VB Express problems

I am using VS Express (VB and C#) under Vista Ultimate. When I installed I
got msg to install updates to make VS work with Vista. I did this and
turned off the msg to show that it is not compatable. At present there are
all sorts of VS errors (just like VS 2002). Things like my right hand CTL
key after a while turns CTL-C etc into non english characters. Close and
open to get rid of.

Any ideas????

Nope, this box was an XP Pro up till last tuesday. All drivers on Vista
have been updated. I wish there was a way to turn on the msg about Vista
and VS but I have not found it. I am sure I have update to good version but
with things the way they are right now , who knows.

Thanks

Have you installed both SP-1 for Visual Studio *and* the patch to Vista for
Visual Studio? I keep seeing both mentioned as if they are separate things.

That's what I figured. That's why I asked if he had installed both. Thanks
for verifying that because now I will be certain!

Although I got a copy of Vista Ultimate at the Vista Launch in San
Francisco last week, my poor laptop would probably weep if I installed it,
so I'm going to have to wait until I get a new one. And then I can install
the Vista patch for Visual Studio as well as the SP-1 for Visual Studio.
:-D

Well, I just read this FAQ, which says no. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa948854.aspx So my next question is: is MS going to give us a discount to upgrade to VS 2005 so that I can use Vista? Otherwise, I guess I'll just keep using Windows 2000 until MS prys it out from under me.
