It sounds like you've died and gone to Vista.

My condolences, Peter.  I went through that recently and it is no fun. :(

We bought Sassy a new re-con computer rather than go to Vista.  Probably getting a bit too late for that now though.

Mine looked brand new & haven't had any problems with it - I didn't want Vista   d*

Bought the wife a new desktop for Christmas...from Dell. With XP in it. Still available until June this year. It looked screwed up until I realised it was IE5. I use IE7. I've heard Vista has some nice bells and whistles..........and a "few" other options.

Pater, I trust all the important crap was safely backed up someplace (or in more than one someplace). That's the part of crashes that can be a real bear (if it's not backed up.) Been there more than once and I have survived!!

And to all those who have not yet had a hard drive go south, it will happen... just a matter of time. Even Macs crash...   ::) my SIL had one of hers go a few years ago... lost many photo files.

Better safe than sorry and all that... d*

Ummm no Nethog is the father of BitLocker....

If you have any serious vista issues you can send him a PM...I am sure he can help or direct you where to look.

I was deflecting a little, cause it was hitting someone with some personal issue...Nethog worked for the evil empire for a decade. He just recently took a job elsewhere in Seattle.
