Thanks, Mike...and Frank.
I understand that the graphic card is probably not the best for what I am
doing, but I am stuck with it at this point since it is in the laptop and
probably part of the motherboard. However, it shouldn't be locking up by
just running a screen saver should it?
This is a laptop right?
I'm betting when your screen saver goes on it is also going into some
sort of power saving mode? If it is it could be what is causing your
lockup problem: Hint: could it be a wakeup problem?
check out your power settings.

Your living in a nice little dream world.
Actually, within reason, yes it is.
Customer: "I am interested in upgrading to Vista, but I already have
hundreds of dollars in games purchased over the last three years. Will I
still be able to play them?"
Microsoft Rep: "Maybe, maybe not. If there's a problem, then it's up to all
those companies to fix it, not us."
Customer: "Thanks for the information. I'm no longer interested in upgrading."
It stands to reason that the above is what would happen, yes?

If you have older programs that the manufacturer has absolutely no intention
of upgrading, then yes - stick with Windows XP.
Many will work with Vista. Some "may" work. Some will not work, no matter
what you do.

The customer in your example will probably never upgrade any operating
system from any source.
It seems that customer is unwilling to check the manufacturer who are
the experts on their products.
No one, not even Microsoft can be expected to keep up with all
products from all manufacturers.
The customer needs to research all essential programs and hardware in
advance.
The Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor is a good place to start but by no
means is that the end of research for essential products.
Then the customer can determine if it is wise to upgrade.
Many determine the time is not now since some manufacturers have not
done what is required to make their products Windows Vista compatible.
Microsoft has done a lot for backwards compatibility in Windows Vista.
Some will say not enough while others say to much was done.
Microsoft did what could be done "within reason".

Hey, you were just telling us it isn't Microsoft's responsibility if
you got a OEM Vista DVD to fix anything wrong, so why shouldn't a
customer be able to get help from Microsoft if you otherwise you
demand customers should '...check the manufacturer'? Try not to
stutter or stammer too badly, we'll be watching.
No one, not even Microsoft can be expected to keep up with all
products from all manufacturers.
Sounds like an admission that Microsoft hasn't tested Vista very well.
Customers have noticed.
The customer needs to research all essential programs and hardware in
advance.
That an admission that both the Certified for Vista logo and the Vista
Upgrade advisor feed potential buyers a line of crap?

Based on Microsoft marketing fabrications?

Yea, sure. I'm sure Roxio is still steamed that at the last minute
Microsoft changed Vista so it crashed it's latest release and they
needed to disable a key feature due to Microsoft dropping the ball. A
practice that goes back 20 plus years with the boys of Redmond.
Microsoft has done a lot for backwards compatibility in Windows Vista.
Some will say not enough while others say to much was done.
Microsoft did what could be done "within reason".
Of course the all knowing Jupiter gets to decide what was within
reason. If you tried to stick your head any further up Microsoft's
butt with your endless worship it sure would be funny. Please try.

Following me again and doing a terrible job of twisting my words.
Perhaps you should attempt to help others instead of stalking those
you do not like while contributing NOTHING to the thread.
"you were just telling us it isn't Microsoft's responsibility"
That is what I said and you know it to be true.
The product Manufacturers need to make sure their products are
compatible with Vista or any other Operating system they desire to
support.
There is nothing to "stutter or stammer too badly" about unless it is
you stalking me when you have nothing of value to contribute.
"Sounds like an admission that Microsoft hasn't tested Vista very
well."
Not at all, but your obvious bias and anti Microsoft agenda, it is
understandable why you seem to thing Microsoft should support "all
products from all manufacturers."
Perhaps you can write an operating system that can support everything,
but NO ONE ELSE can, not even Microsoft.
You seem to want the impossible while NO ONE (except for you) has
promised or even suggested it.
"That an admission..."
Perhaps in you mind that currently enjoys stalking.
If you will read my post, you will see that the user needs to research
appropriateness before upgrading.
This goes for anything, not just Microsoft products or even computer
technology.
But then you also know this, just another excuse for you to post while
contributing NOTHING.
"Based on Microsoft marketing fabrications?"
I never suggested any such thing, that is entirely your own idea,
"Of course the all knowing Jupiter gets to decide"
I never said that either.
Again your need to twist words to further your own agenda.
The companies, in the case of Vista, Microsoft decides.
It is noted you have again contributed NOTHING to the thread.
You seem incapable of posting anything of substance the OP can use.
You should read my post again, perhaps for the first time.

Isn't it time for your weekly ego deflating appointment? Few MVPs
exhibit a more grossly exaggerated self opinion of themselves than you
do buddy boy.

Again that control freak personality of yours oozes out.

I don't have any agenda. I simply dislike BLOWHARDS. Let me know when
you FINALLY get it.

Point out any of your comments in your latest reply that contribute
anything to this thread.

Wow, I take a weeks vacation and what do I see when I return? I see wuttle
baby adum, alias and the rest of the trolls continuing to fight with not
only the same people, but MANY new people as well.
Hilarious!!!
Every week Vista becomes more and more stable. That must really piss them
off.
