I just purchased a used PC from my sister-in-law's office ... It's the second one I've bought - Lydia uses the first one for her business and it is running great - BUT this one has Windows Vista OS, and I am not sure I want to work with that ... what have your experiences been? ... and how about running files from on PC using XP on a PC using Vista?
thnx computer

Tony most people won't use Vista, home use OK, kids, if you try an re-format PC and it's got SATA HD it is a pain some versions of MS XP won't see the SATA, there is a fixed on the internet, not a good move buying it with VISTA, sorry can't be more help, was it cheap??

Were you trying to attach a picture? You have to make sure you see the uploading bar complete and the filename appear at the top of the window before you say "Done".

First I tried to link the picture directly from the web which the host site denied.
Then I tried to link it to facebook, but it is https.
Then I uploaded it to smugmug. Same thing: https.
It was supposed to be funny, but now not so much anymore...
Thanks for asking Nigel smile

I've used Vista for several years. No problems.

Eric, I used the file manager here to attach it to your post. The best thing about using the forum file manager is that the pics NEVER expire like they do on file hosting websites.

Vista had many issues that Microsoft never did resolve. You will be a lot happier long term with Windows 7.
