Time to order a new laptop. I'ver heard so much complaining about Windows Vista...
Is it getting any better as new applicatoins adjust? XP has limited availability and well, I just made the order. Tell me something good, anything!

I can't even get Microsoft Office '03 to run on it without Office crashing. I get way to many unexplainable errors. Home Premium doesn't include the built-in fax application that I've become used to. I hate it.
When I wipe out this 6 month old laptop and reload it, XP is going back on it. Joe Funderburk Alpha & Omega Home Inspections, LLC Hickory Grove, SC NACHI ID: NACHI05120170 www.aohomeinspection.com |

vista runs great on the laptops it allocates memory so well as opposed to xp and i have 03 office on 5 vista machines with absolutely no problems the only complaints i have is when it starts up and shuts down it takes a little longer than my xp but overall i wouldn't trade vista for xp at all

I haven't had any problems getting any programs to run in Vista that I need. I have about 20 programs open right now. Any problems I had have had programs were updated by the companies quite awhile ago. Anything else I can get to run by setting the program to run in XP compatability mode.
The new hard drives coming out with solid state memory included will make Vista startup MUCH faster. Home Inspector Pro Inspection Software - Easy to use, extremely customizable Home Inspector Software that runs on Windows or Mac.

I feel your pain, Joe!
XP compatability mode, got it, thanks guys. I suspect I'll be back to this thread in about two weeks with my voice hoarse, face all red and blood pressure like a racehorse, all snarling and drooling.
