Goood Evening Andre:
Once again thanks for the reply .... I think I will just pass on this as I
am not too overly sure how to go about it all ... I think it's best to offer
my Ultimate for sale on eBay and cut my losses.
I need to move on to another issue with another posting about "Audio
Compression" not being supported.
I found this thread
[url]http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.performance_maintenance&tid=63381c0d-5660-473c-bbbc-34a59467f67f&cat=&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=en-us&m=1&p=1[/url]
and it looks like it doesn't offer any better help ....
I searched the Internet for answers and Microsoft's site and there seems to
be no clear answer ..... Maybe a new posting will help but in the meantime, I
hope that Microsoft will address this in an update.
Thx for all you help.
