I am trying to partition my Hard Drive, so that I can run Windows XP and Windows Vista (Vista on the new partition). I want to gradually move to Vista without having to clear everything off my HD right away.

Hi,
I'm trying to find the font used in the text from this link:
http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/6991/vlcsnap156555kl6.png
Or at least something similar. I've seen it around many times, but as is the usual case can't find it now I need it.
I believe it may be the same as the Prisoner Cell Block H font but not positive.
Anybody any idea?

Thanks guys

I'm heading out on a 4-5 day trip across the US and I'm wondering if I purchased a Laptop with WiFi or other mode of internet access...would I or a passenger be able to be on the web while we are traveling in the car?

I'm assuming that certain "remote"areas would not allow this, but if traveling on say I-80 /I-70 from Chicago - LA what would the reception be like?

Has anyone ever tried this themselves?

I'm reformatting and reinstalling Windows XP on a 5 year old Dell Dimension 8200.

Does it matter if I choose quick format instead of full format? Would quick format somehow hurt the computer's performance?

Ok, whenever I try to run LW/FW I get the "was enabled to initialize and start..." message. Yes, I get the fact this is caused by a Firewall. The windows Firewall isn't on and I don't have the Norton AntiVirus. So, I went under "my computer" and searched "Firewall." I got 10 firewalls on this thing! I don't know what to do now. Should I delete them all? I'm not even sure if I should do that since this is my dads computer...

This is one of the very thin Toshiba laptops (800 MHz P3). I tried just starting up the laptop with the Operating system in the CD, but it didn't read it. I'm not a hacker, but I know my way around a computer well enought that I should be able to do something like this without spending $ 150 for the local computer store to do it for me. I want to see if 'joe on the street' (me) can install his own operating system and open office and get a laptop running without paying Microsoft what amounts to 3 car payments.

Gracias!!!
