My suggestion: go back to Win XP. It appears that Vista is in the same sorry class as Win Millenium. It may be worth the $130 or so USD to buy the disk. Another suggestion. Download and burn a Knoppix CDR. Try that on your machine. It may recognize your Nvidia hardware. I was told that Windows XP could not be put on my wife's new HP laptop with Vista, but the Knoppix disk ran like a champ. If not, then you have wasted some time and created a coaster. If so, then a Debian install may be in order. Even Knoppix itself can be installed on hard disk with a little googling and work. -- John Culleton Create Book Covers with Scribus/e-book $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
