If you did an upgrade-in-place from Vista, you might consider doing a clean install instead. More easily said than done, but it's batter than limping along with a semi-broken OS. |

| | If you can place a dvd in the tray and read instructions then doing a clean install is a piece of cake. There is plenty of help here. I would definetly get all your data off the harddrive before you start and verify that you have it all. Then you can install windows a few times til you get it down. |

| | MS required the manufacturer's Upgrade Kits to provide a clean-copy Installation DVD so you can clean install/reinstall just the OS for vastly superior performance. Sounds like it's badly needed. Get it perfect and then get an image so you never have to reinstall again: Clean Reinstall steps Remember you will be using the Product Key which came with the Upgrade Kit DVD. |
