DarkSnakeKobra Posted December 5, 2010 Author ID:356427 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Thanks. I'm sure I will. Have to do a clean install though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountaintree16 Posted December 5, 2010 ID:356429 Share Posted December 5, 2010 You're welcome!Hehe. Of course :(I wish I'd known how to do a clean install when our Windows 95 came with a free upgrade to Windows 98 (we got it just before or after Windows 98 came out I think), because I'd always upgrade it to Windows 98 and I'd have to go back to Windows 95 and reinstall everything... installing and using Windows 98 never worked quite right every time I tried to install it Which I now realize is most likely because no clean-install was done :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkSnakeKobra Posted December 5, 2010 Author ID:356447 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Thanks. Now I feel like I'm with the big boys. With all those W7 ultimate systems. @MTI didn't have a 4th of the knowledge I have now. Probably be best leaving what "could have happened" in the trash.

mountaintree16 Posted December 5, 2010 ID:356466 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I like Vista too Exile, although I doubt I'll have my own, new computer will be W7 or whatevers after, depending on when we get one @ButtonsYeah. I was disappointed. If only I had known... eh well. I got very good at reformatting that computer though, lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

byte_king Posted December 6, 2010 ID:356883 Share Posted December 6, 2010 @Buttons,Just out of curiosity, what made you decide to go with vista and not W7? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSnakeKobra Posted December 6, 2010 Author ID:357231 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I love Vista. Second the OEM copy from tiger direct was $109 compared to 7 ultimate being $179-200 . Wasn't going to pay that much. I have a budget I keep to so that was another thing. Only if money grew on trees............ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeye Posted December 7, 2010 ID:357618 Share Posted December 7, 2010 It's nice to see someone young keep to a budget. You ever think of going into politics? We need someone like you to fix the budget in Washington Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkSnakeKobra Posted December 7, 2010 Author ID:357956 Share Posted December 7, 2010 So far love it! Unfortunately, Service Pack 2 that I had backed up doesn't work for 64 bit. So I'm doing updates starting at SP1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
