I merely found the Beta program seriously lacking, not reporting to me, nor could I find out what it was doing/finding, etc. And it just wasn't stable compared to what I have been using, so I removed it.
All of my problems are now resolved, save for one with my ZoomText not reading to me. Grrrr
That is not an XP Pro problem, I'm sure. But, HP is very concerned about my computer being so new and having had all of the problems I've had--I've owned computers since 1978, and never had such wobbly events.
Odd, I have not viewed many postings about that particular problem
subject!!! Like the WGA, anything Microsoft provides brings out a lot of
problem posters who complain endlessly about problems that most don't
experience or find. Must be a BS in that field available from somewhere!
Please elucidate on anything you consider serious.
