    Damn, finally after three days of horrible tinkering, I have Vista installed on her computer.

    What a pain in the ass. Had to install Win2k first, then discovered all the m-board drivers were not installed. Got those, had to have service pack 4, got that, then fixed all the drivers, then got Vista installed.

    I really like the looks of Vista, but I can tell it's kind of slow.
    She has a 2.6 Ghz computer with a gig of memory and it still lags a bit.

    Don't even want to bother with IE7, so installing Firefox was item #1.

    Are there supposed to be so few icons on the desktop? I don't mind it, but I only see the Recycle Bin and the Firefox icon. Nothing else is there.

    I seriously don't know anything about Vista, this is all new to me but I need to make it easy for her to figure out. Still various things to install but looking OK so far.
