Unfortunately for you Pnutss a search on your name reveals not one single
substantive on point post on how to use Windows, hardware, or software.
It's your own personal Twitt blog. As usual those who try to posture as
elite, discerning, sophisticated group users contribute nothing but
complaints--not one substantive question on Vista or one substantive answer
shows up in a PNUTTS View>Find. Why am I not surprised? That's par.

You can call names--Twitt. Mommy sent you outta the house and said "I"m not
goin' with you little Nutt go hit the bully by yourself" and after he
knocked you on your ass you dusted yourself off and said at least the little
Nutt tried.

But we even help Pnutt Twits on these groups who don't want to admit what
newbies they are.

You have to ask a question to get help little Nutt. When you do you'll get
an anwer.
Rick's post is correct as to settling down and focusing on issues--and in
the case of Vista it was foreplayed with huge fanfair and like a large
number of foreplays that were promised to be a big bang, it followed with an
awkward, erratic whimper, with a lot of impaired functionality and a large
number of people were surprised that it was so disappointing in so many
respects. Some major features don't work well, but it has a very decent
backup and you image anyway right?

You'll find out when you try to recover with Startup Repair.
