I bought him two Vista books and told him, you're to be the Vista expert. I'm not going there.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805501348812702651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10678422.post-43084918792257030252007-12-14T10:45:00.000+09:002007-12-14T10:45:00.000+09:00I've only done one complete reinstall of Windows X...I've only done one complete reinstall of Windows XP after my initial purchase, and that's probably something to do with the horror of having to put all the usual progs back. Now, if only there was a way to batch install Firefox, OpenOffice, The Gimp, all my own apps, Irfanview, Visual Studio 97 with all the patches, etc, etc. Problem is, the version numbers keep updating. And there are 150-200 games installed on this PC. Granted, I probably use 4 of them but last time it was two years before they were all reinstalled again.Simon Hayneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02660767551431793439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10678422.post-39241272920396697322007-12-14T05:14:00.000+09:002007-12-14T05:14:00.000+09:00Sorry about all that wasted time, Simon.I guess I'...Sorry about all that wasted time, Simon.<BR/><BR/>I guess I've led a charmed life. I've never (knocks wood) had any serious issues with XP in all the years I've had it on my base machine.<BR/><BR/>And Vista on my laptop?

I keep telling myself to do that and still haven't gotten around to doing it.<BR/><BR/>Good to know you're back up and running. By the way, will yWriter work on non-Windows machines? Any plans for *nix versions? Just curious.DarcKnythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12271145531950875451noreply@blogger.com
