Vista Problems!!!

[Skybird74]

I also have a question as to whether to upgrade from 3.317 to 3.321. Regarding zip files

I MOVED THIS TO A NEW THREAD. I think that's where it should be.

[bobcox- with the Lord]

If i had 3.317, i would upgrade.
3.321 is a great and stable version.

I was bit sceptical to upgrade to 3.321 as I have vista but I did and thanks to the online assitance Im very pleased with it and I have no problems with importing zip files, I agree it is stable
I intend to stick with vista instead of going back to XP it will come right

In another 5 years....maybe. It took Microsoft at least that long and 2 service packs to get XP right. The US Air Force waited until shortly before SP2 came out before they switched from NT to XP. Does that tell you something about Microsoft.

I wouldn't have bought Vista, except that we were left with no choice. When I bought my new laptop, I searched all the stores & even went directly to HP. Unless you found an XP still left on the shelf, you HAD TO buy Vista if you wanted a new dual-core, etc. machine. I'm giong to rely on the posts here & upgrade my 3.317 to 3.321 and hope for the best.

You can also still find XP oem versions on the Bay.

Dell (blech), Toshiba, Lenovo, Acer and most of the other laptop vendors i've checked on do still offer XP on new laptops. In some cases, it's more expensive than vista, and in other cases, less. kind of an odd situation.

The ones that are more expensive probably have the hard drives pre-loaded with Vista and have to spend extra time reloading with XP.
