Ive been using Vista for 2 or 3 years now. Ive not had any complaints other then boot time. But that was a system upgraded from 2000 > XP > Vista. So it had tons o garbage.

A lot of the time all at once. =D After a couple of service packs, Vista is actually a pretty stable s

Yeah. Ive gathered that so far. It just seems I must be missing some kind of detail because I cant always get these to work the right way. Maybe its a graphic size issue or something. Hey thanks for the response. Hope some one can find that tutorial link hehe. -J
