*sigh*
my parents went live last june & were forced to be on vista.
So I fell back & punted to tech support's golden rule - always have a copy of your user's hardware & image.
IOW, I made them by me a copy of their computer & software.
Saturday, I get to go and see what they've done to it over the course of the year & do a tune up.
Pray for me...

I'm still trying to get my mother off Win98 and onto something more modern. (Don't worry, she's not online with THAT.)

Lose98 isn't as bad as LoseMe, which is what my mother had until the machine died. We convinced her to get an iMac this time.
