If it not a part of a newly purchased computer your character will end up losing his religion! |

Here's an idea. Because as the previous poster said it probably won't work right easily and you sound like a PC novice in this area. Just buy a 2nd hard drive. Disconnect the current hard drive and do a fresh install on the new drive. Can't have enough hard drives! If it turns out you like it there's a way to do a dual boot later if you want. Now I am assuming you're stuck with it or got it as a gift? If you haven't opened it and can return it to a store you might want to consider that. At best, chances are you will only get it to work in it's most basic mode. But go to the Microsoft website and be certain your hardware is actually compatible before you take any drastic measures. Run the hardware checker download if it's still available. |

Vista sucks unless you have the latest version of all software and hardware. Windows 2000 or XP runs much faster and with less problems. |

I have vista on my desktop and laptop and I like it over XP totally Of course it came installed on my laptop and desktop, so I knew everything would work right away Depending on what version of Vista you have as well If you only have home basic(which comes with most PC's and Desktops) you do not havew a lot of the features that Vista has. My Desktop and Laptop first came with this, but I immediately upgraded free of charge. For most people, this is all they will ever need to have as far as Vista goes If you have home Premium, its great for entertainment aspects of the desktop and laptop I have Vista Ultimate for my Desktop, and laptop and love it. I upgraded to this free of charge due to an issue I had with HP on my desktop and laptop hard drives(they both crashed and burned within 3 weeks of me getting them, so they upgraded me for free). Basically my Laptop and Desktop have TV tuners and a lot of media software, so this version is tailored for that aspect of my stuff. |
