I am looking to get a new computer tomorrow,and it will have the new windows
on it. I was told that it wont let you download games ,or spybot,or
adaware.Also I have heard That I cant put my Paint Shop Pro 8 on it could
someone please help me Thansk Tam
 
You can download games, Ad-Aware and Spybot on there. It does ask for
permission to install, though (which can get annoying, but can be turned
off...). Guaranteed that they work with no problems.

As for Paint Shop Pro 8, you can run it in compatibility mode to get it to
work. I haven't heard of any issues with it, though.

Not seen your name in a while. Hope all is well Ross.

I didn't even realise there was "supposed" to be a problem with PSP. I'm
running PSP 8 on my Vista setup and it works just fine. The only thing I can
imagine might be a problem is fiddling with the installer to get it to run,
perhaps but I can't even remember that being a problem.

Howdy, Robert! Gosh, it's been *years*! Still haven't won MegaBucks, so I
still need to work. Alas.

Please don't post the same question twice a few minutes apart.

You were told wrong. You can do all those things.

Also I have heard That I cant put my Paint Shop Pro 8 on it

That is also wrong.

That's not necessary, as I said moments ago in another thread. It runs
just fine in normal mode.

Ah. For once I've been lucky then. Mine installed without so much as
blinking. Wonder what I did wrong ;-)
