This time Windows Vista! Now to me the word Vista says beautiful or a far reaching view. Obviously Microsoft and I differ on what this means...
Windows Vista is installed on my lap top. First of all I couldn't use Photoshop Elements on it and had to wait whilst Adobe quickly produced the latest version that was compatible with a Vista 64 bit system (thank you Adobe). I thought Wow great! when it arrived, now I can do all the things I want on my lap top! Maybe not after all, I noticed when trying to introduce my photos to my lap top that there wasn't enough room for them to fit. After a bit of an investigation I realised that my machine had been partitioned but the documents had not been directed to the partition.... OK I thought I can redirect the documents. The photo part crashed half way through, so I deleted the photos and redirected the empty file which worked. Now photoshop won't open because it thinks there is a corrupted catalogue file... so I can't import all my photos!
Now my lap top is only useful for browsing the web and sending email!!!
I am quite good with computers, it makes me wonder how people who don't know anything about installation and programs would get on. Way to go Microsoft!
I think I will wipe it clean and start afresh with XP.

I had similar "teething troubles" with Vista when I installed it on my machine. I still have problems with it from time to time, and I must admit I have considered "upgrading" to XP and rebuilding it again... but it seems to me much more hassle doing that than fixing the faults I find in Vista when they pop up.
Oh for the stability of Linux!
LOL even PC Pro thinks that XP is an upgrade ;-)
For me a rebuild will be far more productive I think ;-) I don't want to fight with it every time I turn it on!
