There are many problems with Vista, you may get some insight here, or do your own search; http://tinyurl.com/369e62 . You can avoid IE7 problems by installing Firefox 2, its free, it works, it downloads and you'll like it.
Make it a great day

Many a Products are still not compatible with windows vista, you got to make sure the version of the software that you are installing is Vista Compatible else uninstalling the same may prove to be a problem area for you,the software that you bought for your Windows XP is not compatible with Vista, so dont go about installing all your CD's, check with the manufacturer if they have the vista Compatible drivers/applications/programs and if yes go and get it from their website rather than wait for the CD...OEM's havent yet fully geared up themselves for VISTA launch and the result of which is there for all to see...People like you and countless others are facing similar problems ...wait for a month or two and VOILA ...all your problems should be fixed...so keep waiting....Krish..:)

Whenever you have any problem in your computer..whether downloading or any other... you can simply call the administrator
I.E. the person from whom you have purchased the computer.
Just give a phone call they will come and give the service and you can see and learn from them why the problem came and what is the remedy. These days computer classes are there allmost everywhere giving training on different subjects of your choice .. on a monthly fees. Some arrangements are made by the Govt. itself for free computer training.

Windows vista is a new operating system. It is certain that its processing is different from other OS. This might be a hindrance.
I dont know much about it but i think there may be launch of softwares exclusively for Vista in upcoming days.
Well........best of luck with your brand new computer!

Before downloading a program, make sure it is compatiable with Vista.
And if they aren't compatiable, use compatibility mode (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-compatibility-mode/)
