Post; Sorry I've been away for so long


I bought a brand new computer, had windows Vista the latest and greatest from M/S.
Tried logging in here and got several firewall and security blockers that wouldn't let me in , also tried playing my favorite games and none of them worked either. Turns out my copy of vista was as good as a screen door on a submarine.

I can get online now again I solved teh Vista problem by purchaseing my own copy of Windows XP home, I would have got pro, but I have my own security programs.
Now getting vista off my computer was easy, I popped in the old win98se and if formated the hard drive fast as can be, but getting 98 off and xp on was fun.

Heres my new computer specs Emachine T5082, dvd burner, cdrom burner, 2 gig of ram, 169 gig hard drive, intel xp audio chip drivers.

I swear this computer now flys like a J79 on a skateboard

The best way to optimize Vista seems to be to install XP..

Yeah it's not a good idea to use an OS as soon as it comes out.
But Vista's taking a long time to wear in.
I don't use it.
