I do not understand the Vista home premium program. Especially how to create a document that I can print. 2.I have had a DELL, in the past. I also am a survivor of a major STROKE, which resulted in 60$ of my right cerebellium being removed. Thus, I need help!!! This program and even the computer are very new & foreign to me, thus ,the additional confusion. While I am here, does anyone know where I could find currant P.C. lingo, talk, jargon, slang, abbreviations,icons, etc. Contact me please if you are able to help me out in any way and thank you!!!

I have dial up through Juno and have not been able to get it to work correctly. I have installed the new CD for Vista from Juno, deleted and re-installed it about 25 times and followed many, many suggestions by the Juno technicians all to no avail. I called Toshiba and they say the problem is the Juno software. I did get on the internet 3 times, but other than that I can only get e-mail very slowly. I use an external USB mouse and keyboard, both Microsoft. Help - Any suggestions? January 30, 2008

I am not sure if it's just an overactive or oversensitive touch pad or what, but it's danged annoying Any thoughts on how to counteract this?

I installed it on my old pc but since I could not use aero graphics due to the poor graphics memory of my old notebook, I bought an HP tx1000 convertible notebook with AMD Turion64 X2 and 2gb ram. I have not had a single problem with it. Sure it took about 20mins to start up the first time. What's wrong with that? Would you rather that someone boot up your computer before you have it and set it up with a randome "user". Advice? The first thing I did even before connecting to my home network was to uninstall Norton, connect to the internet and download AVG. Common guys we have to fair and not just look for ways to dice microsoft. My vista has never crashed. All my peripherals work and i only had to update them because I like everything updated. ofcourse windows update knew where to find the updates.

But I purchased a new dell laptop with 2.0 dual core/667FSB/2GB DDR2 dual channel with vista home premium. So far the only problems I have had are an error message dealing with McAfee which required a McAfee update to fix, and for some reason windows media player would crash after ripping about 10 to 15 cd's to the hard drive. Other than that things are running fairly smoothly. We have been testing Vista business at work and have had numerous problems, most of which are GPO and permissions related.
