Vista stinks. I'd love to know what went through Bill gate's mind when he dreamnt this up. I wish new systems would give you the options of using XP.

Best thing is (it'll gall you too I know) wipe the drive and load XP.

I had some dcent games that ran on 98 and Millinium....but won't run on XP. Ah well...such is the nature of the beast in the software industry.
