Trying to upgrade my windows machine to Windows 7 from Vista. I'm
having zero joy.
5th time is the charm. Had to disable just about every driver i have

Yesterday I bought my wife a new laptop that has System 7. By now you've found it isn't like Vista or XP. The familiarity you had with Vista and XP isn't quite as useful using System 7. If you're going to use the Internet and e-mail system in System 7, you have to sign on to either hotmail or livemail. It's best to use Mozilla or Chrome. Personally, at this time, I don't care for System 7 but I may get used to it, in a couple of years. <g>

Some of my newer programs that I bought for my other computers can't be installed in System 7. For example: Tuneup Utilities 2009 and Perfect Disk Optimizer cannot be installed and the makers have not yet released updates.

I've only played with it for a short time but so far, I like it. Vista
was a piece of crap...This is more lean and mean.

So far, no problems with any programs. I had to take Itunes off
during the upgrade because the advisor said that it wasn't compatible
but I put it back on after the upgrade and it works as it should.

You lucked out. I tried again to install these programs and a display said no you don't. <g>

I don't care for Vista too but it was easier to navigate due to first having XP. Oh well, 7 is here and it's going to stay but I'm not going to update my other computers although I have found 7 to be lean and slightly faster. Why fix what ain't broke.
