I was in tears of frustration this afternoon, mostly because I was up until 4:00 a.m. this morning working on it. It's horrible, at least in its present form. I don't know why Gates pushed this thing and neither do the technicians.
One word of advice for when you do need a new computer and what we intend to do next time: We'll pay someone to download our settings and set up the computer the way we like.
Do you know how often we on FR use/hit the "Refresh" button? Well, on Vista, according to two technicians I talked with, there is no "Refresh" icon so I can either squint and search this crummy looking toolbar and hit this tiny weeny little button that means but doesn't say refresh, or I can hit F5. The options for the toolbar are the most limited I've ever seen.
Ack. What a waste of two days. I'm going to settle in and read a good book tonight and forget about the last two days.
I like things JUST FINE THE WAY THEY ARE. I don't want any improvements, since they usually end up costing money and don't do what they promise.
Turn it back...or is rgar an option?
Even with the new vista you should be able to change your browser from explorer to firefox.
Nice big refresh button right at the top.
Sorry about your bad experience Peach, but I am so glad your old computer is working again.
