To Soldier, Morglum, Emmet, DannyBoy, and Matt --- 
 
Last night my computer went down hard and looks to be non-recoverable.   I'm going to be out of action for several days, possibly a little over a week, while I shop for and order a new computer.   I'll get back to you when I'm up and running again.

Randy   I took your advice and told Dell either they provide me with XP or I'm returning the computer. Wonder how far that will fly.... 
 
Next option-- buy an old copy of XP off of e-bay and re-install.

				RE: Opponents of Jobu88 
				 
					 hang tough with dell  
explain you have programs not working or loading properly and drivers are not correct for your products you're losing money while you waste time on a crappy OS and you'd really like to have XP, offer to return vista CD in exchange and talk to refunds and returns people not techies or cust service. and ALWAYS ask for a supervisor right away...  
 
 tell the returns guy you've have enough of vista it's costing you money you want XP but no one will get it for you  etc..  you're looking for another  dealer to sell you  a new PC with XP and will be returning theirs as soon as you find one..  unless they want to furnish you with XP etc.. call them every day  :)
