Ummm. not sure. Was the vista from CD?

If so, did you back up?

Maybe have an XP disc installer ready, and uninstall vista.

I know people build thier own pcs...

Windows will always have DOS in it. Dumb Operating System. To quote Bill
Gates, "DOS is dead."

I had Norton years ago. It's resource hog, in my opinion.

there are some very good anti-virus programs out there with no charge,
and will not take up your registry...

Also, some very good free, no crapware... protection for spyware and
such...

just an option to consider.

bigger.laugh

Peter Norton, creator of Norton Antivirus and Bill Gates were good
friends. Go figure?laugh

What amazes is that Bill Gates pirated so much stuff then runs down
pirating. Moral of the story, "If you are going to be a pirate be a big
pirate".laugh

hehehehe

hey, ya know, it's true...

I just gotta wonder, though.

Whenever someone make a big thing... becomes powerful... isn't it odd
how folks come to dislike them?

If you or I were to get lucky and become multi millionares... would we
be hated?

always curios about that kinda thing.

I think that is why advertising is so good. You make a lot of money and
can pay people to make you look good. :smile:

And, when someone makes so much oney, and has that kinda power...
government craps themselves, then cashes in.

sorta like, NO! You can not be that big! Make lots of little comapanies
and pay us from each...

jeesh
