As both my best friend and I reformat our 500 gig drives and go back to xp... am betting things will run better after all the odball wonky things vista 32 started doing (already reloaded the damn thing once myself when system files went crazy) and now her's is too... truth is apparently our "old" 32 bit programs just really do run often in emulation and vista does not like it..whatever... I want my steady (don't think about it, just use it) XP back!!! The drivers I had to get for my one year old printer, my mouse etc. are like faked out vista drivers and do not work right... so took away some functionality... so the bloom is off the rose... lot of backing up and then will be "gone" till we get all set back up and happy as clams!! My poor friend has a hot machine (not as much as mine) but never could get her poser open at the same time as photoshop!?? and Poser 6.3 would not ever look or work right.... I think our programs have "hit the wall" and are happiest on XP... and ya.... you can say "told ya".... live and learn.... good thing I have reformatted and reinstalled a few times... as she has not so we shall go step by step together...

mainly if you do not hear a peep out of me, that is why...

Hugs,

Lyne
