If you going to stick with XP try the new SP3. There are alot of network problems between vista and XP. So that might solve that. otherwise just install it to plug a few holes and create more Laughing

what makes me laugh is that it's taken them 5 years to create vista,does it take 5 years to work out vista is not compatable with most programs????


It's not Vista that isn't compatible with programs. It's the other way round. One of the main reasons applications don't work on vista is that microsoft have, for once, taken a leaf out of *nix's book and introduced a decent user permissions model, UAC.

Unfortunately for windows users this means that a lot of old applications written as if they have root (administrator) access, simply cannot perform under this model. This is the application developers fault for writing sloppy code that relies on root system access. However, if microsoft chose their crappy model in the first place and allowed people to write software to that model (the sloppy user privelage model basically). They should have stuck by their conviction in some respects, allowing users to bring their old software to the new operating system.

Of course, software vendors are loving this and provide very little support for the problems in general because they write a new version of the software that is 'vista compatible' and flog it to you for an extortianate sum. Another way to get money out of you. Thankfully there is a lot of Open Source stuff out there now slowly creeping its way into main stream use and all of which is totally free. I'm going to stop randomly babbling now.
