Mom mom needs a new cumputor so off we go, setting up a new one (with VISTA!) for an older woman who is used to 98ME. It should be a looooong weekend.
Wish us luck as we decend into hell...

Well put CJ. Too bad that we can't get her to switch to a Mac, but she'll have fun anyway especially since we're also installing DSL for her. I'm taking along the lap top, but probably won't be posting until after we get back home on Monday.
At least you are getting her a new computer. It's much easier to set up something new than to fix an old one with all kids of outdated software from who knows where. My Dad thinks he can just put his old hard drive in a new computer and ever thing will be OK. I tried to explain the concept of hardware specific drivers but was not very successful.
BTW: The graphics at the bottom of the post don't show. Probably because they have a reference to a location on the local file system rather than the Internet.
Shame you can't get her to use a MAc instead, so much easier to use, stable and less prone to internet crap. But wishing you luck anyway, especially with Vista. Ugh.

oohh, I feel your pain. Husband is the computer go-to guy in our families too. Good luck!
