Thanks for the positive viewpoint, but it was more a case of total disatisfaction.
It might have helped if it had been on a whizzo-spec machine, but then, mine aren't top-spec machines either.
Sure, you could tell me that it now does this in that way, and look for it here, not there, where it used to be, but I'd rather stick with a familiar layout, unless there are really good reasons for changing. The whole purpose of my woeful series of posts is that there is
not good reason for changing.
Tell you one thing: I tried to install some software. It told me I couldn't do it without the administrator password. I told it to continue, and it told me it couldn't without the administrator password. Went through this loop a few times, without entering the password, and it then installed the software anyway. How many versions has MS being telling us that they now take security seriously?
An it crashed on me; several times in a couple of weeks. That hasn't happened to me since W98!
Sorry, I'm a lost cause on this one. But thanks anyway
I might take you up on it when I buy a new PC that has some driver that is not supported by XP. Although that is not on the budget, you never know what might fall apart when!
Have a nice vista party, guys. I'll just quietly let myself out of the door, take that lonely walk down the road, listening to your woops and cries of joy behind me, back to my sad XP machine ...
