Maybe that blue screens are due to a weak memory module. Worth cleaning

contacts.

   Have installed a dozen Vista setups, from Home to Ultimate, both in X32

and X64 flavors, and under Virtual Pc, with blue screens caused only by a

faluty video driver.



   After upgrading it, no more problems in the last two months (it is my

main laptop).



   Just my two cents.

Denys,



  It is just a test box, used as a learning tool.



  The blues screens of death came after I installed a clean WinXP.  Go

figure.



  I didn't mind loosing programs, because there were none installed.  I was

just warning the masses.

  When it comes to Vista upgrades, run, run far and run fast.  It is always

the case when a new OS comes out.  As a stubborn IT professional, you

should know better than to do an upgrade to a new OS, right when it comes

out.   Getting a new PC with Vista installed on it is one thing, upgrading

an existing PC to Vista is something else; don’t do it.

Subject: OT: Office 2007 installation warning





    Denys and Everyone,







    I have one machine running Vista and Office 2007,  my comments...







    Vista:  not ready for prime time... I had two blue screens trying to

install it and it took about 6 hours time to complete (3 attempts were

made).  If I were not a stubborn IT professional, I would have given up.

Bottom line, wait for the 1st service pack and all the preiphal drivers to

be ready (read NVIDIA).







    BTW, I upgraded from XP Pro to Vista Business... the is NO upgrade

path, Vista will rename the Window directory from WINDOWS to WINDOWS.old

and do a "fresh" install.



    Meaning all programs will need to be reinstalled.   This is a BIG

downfall for most companies.







    Oh, and the Aero glass, is a lot of marketing hype.  I can use it, but

I don't see what all the fuss is about.







    Office 2007:  A little bit more mature, but there is still a learning

curve for the new interface.







    Ahh, life on the bleeding edge.







    -Craig

    I installed the latest version of Office software emanating from

Redmond.

To my dismay, it somehow eliminated all my mail rules and that means I

received all messages to 3000-L unfiltered, so I see that Herr Baier is

still actively supporting the terrorists.







I have since reestablished most of my rules, but I am sure I am missing a

few still.







I upgraded from Office 2003. So far, it's been a pretty good experience but

I have to get used to quite a few changes in appearance and command

selection.
