[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 227418, member: 84"] Well, thanks to husband's present and Travis' know how.........I now have upgraded to Vista. I'm not sure yet whether or not I like it either. :raspberry-tounge: Everything is sooooo different from what I'm used to. I'm hunting around for the simplest things. ugh BUT my dvd drive [B]finally[/B] works again! YEA! It hasn't worked since right after I bought the computer last year. Only down side.......is that it did a clean install........Well, I'm not sure I understand it really, at least not how Travis explained it to me. Seems it did a "clean" install, which means everything got wiped. But then he tells me it got partitioned off?? by Vista. Huh? I'm going to have Nichole ask her boyfriend about that one. Because I don't need a ton of stuff sitting in some partition taking up space that I can't even use. Still, thanks to my trusty external hard drive......nothing I needed / wanted to keep was lost. Best 50.00 I ever spent! :D If you don't have one already, I advise you to get one. They just plug into your USB port. Easy. Now I've got to defrag. Not sure why if it was a clean install.......but not a big deal as I'm on my way to bed. Funny part........Travis had estimated a 2 hour job.......it took about 8 hours total. lol Oh, and anyone one who's in the know.....I could use a super good (and hopefully cheap) virus program. I don't trust Norton anymore. And now that I'm starting with a clean slate.......I want to keep it that way. I'd written them down when I'd asked before and now that I need it I can't find it to save my life. [/QUOTE]
