The autorun would not even start. Had to remove Microsoft Money Essentials (worthless teaser software) to get 06 to even install. Then could not sign in. While trying to sign in it would just stop the program and tell me it was looking for a solution, right. Anyway, if you have this problem, go to the sign in screen and click on the upper left where it says file, and make a new file, this solved the problem. Once you are signed in the first time, you should have no problems. Just some observations. We non-technogeeks are pretty spoiled. We just expect stuff to work without requiring the operator to stand on one foot, light a red candle, and chant. The availability of complex work-arounds for the more bizarre characteristics of VISTA still doesn't make the system as functional as the XP it is supposed to replace. Aside from the fact that some of the most popular nav software isn't compatible with VISTA, (at least not yet), there is some basis for an impression that MS rushed this product to market without first ironing out all of the bugs. At least with Dell offering the XP machines once again, boaters ready to replace a navigation computer have an option to get proven, reliable technology. Chuck, you ought to writing about subjects you know you don't know anything about. Your computer OS ramblings are embarrassing. I know quite a bit about the impression that VISTA is making on the general, computer consuming public. I are one. :-) Like I said, most of us just expect stuff to work without having to select "compatability" choices, unload other installed on the same computer, etc. Use the green candle? You need to use the red candle. |
