Peter,

You can use an upgrade version of Win7 to do a clean install EVEN IF YOU
DON'T HAVE ANY QUALIFYING PRODUCTS LIKE XP OR VISTA. M$ is desperate to
have your money any how!. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY BUYING THE FULL VERSION.

Stay with Xp...

I installed win 7 and am going to Put the Win 7 DVD thru the Cd
shreader, Just as I did with The Vista DVD . And Get My Trusty Win Xp
DVD out and install it .
T otell the truth, VISTA gave me less problems Then Win 7 is doing
today .

Are you sure it isn't operator failure?
Happy Thanksgiving,

PS: Loved your explanation of what the problems were. :)

I? Based on the two sentences I wrote above? Please be careful that
you reply that the correct post, not just any old one in the thread.

Your choice entirely, of course, but your view is *very* different
from mine. Not counting the server, I have four computers here, each
running a different version of Windows. One runs XP Home, one Vista
Home Premium, one Vista Ultimate, and one Windows7 Ultimate. I liked
XP fine, Vista better, and Windows 7 the best of all. I have had *no*
problems at all with any of these.
