ok Frank, thank you.. (and speaking of cleaning up disk.. after I
re-install will get into habit of de-frag'ing HD regularly.. as fast as
my machine is, it's already getting a bit slower (purchased it last
July, have never de-frag'd HD.. realize now, after reading about it,
that you should do it about once a month.. and that it takes a long time..)

thanks again..

This question still stands. I'm still confused by their conclusion. I
suspect we're overlooking some aspects of their thought process here. =)

ok, point taken... I know there's a limit to how much help you can get on
these forums, but well, it would be nice if M$ had free tech-support,
wouldn't it now?? (esp for a such a terribly buggy product..)

A great example of the scalability problem here is my parents. I drive over
to fix their speakers. They're unplugged, not plugged into the computer,
turned off, *and* the system speaker is muted. I later drive over because
my dad can't save his Office 2007 documents as Office-Mac compatible using
Save As... and show him how to use Save As(?). They can't play my friend's
video, and so... I click Play.

This is a minor uninteresting anecdote, but -- modern tech support is an
immense and amazing challenge. Note that the above issues are easily
rectified. I've spent years tracking down issues that I care about. If
people can solve some of the stuff I deal with - over the phone at that -,
they are simply incredibly talented.

We live in a complicated world. =\

ok, will try vista.music_pictures_video.. see how I fare over there..
thank you Zach..

Let's step back: UseNet is about the worst possible trouble-shooting venue
in the universe. You would want to use better problem-solving arenas than
that. Note this venue, for example, and think about the signal to noise
ratio.

Online forums would be better community resources, especially if you're not
getting answers in one given venue.

If a serious company decided to use Ubuntu and problems arise, where
would they go? To Mr. Al-Alias? Or this idiot-OP: Maya?

No, they'd go to www.ubuntu.com and buy a support contract from
Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu. Just like you'd buy a support
contract from Microsoft for Windows...

indeed... oh gosh.. I'm SOOOO SICK of dealing with Vista problems..
every day that goes by I'm more inclined to sell my pc and switch to a
mac... (but: I recently discovered an interesting thing about macs: no
option of installing digital cable tv tuner inside mac -- or am I
missing something?? main reason am interested in having tv tuner inside
computer is so I only have ONE display in my bedroom (instead of a
display for the computer AND a TV.. but in spite of this would still
switch to mac if Vista problems become unbearable.. at least I wont have
all the headaches I've had w/Vista..)

well, guess what... now when I go to "set up TV" in Win Media Ctr it
says it can't find a TV tuner.. (not that it can't find the CARD from
the cable co. -- it can't find the TV tuner inside my machine..) this
gets better and better... every day that goes by I'm more inclined to
switch to a mac... ok, I think we can close this thread, am now trying
to get help in vista.music_pictures_video..

thanks again..

That only means that the drivers for the tv card are not installed.

(not that it can't find the CARD from

the cable co. -- it can't find the TV tuner inside my machine..)

Right, the drivers are not installed.

this

gets better and better... every day that goes by I'm more inclined to
switch to a mac...

Could be your best move.

ok, I think we can close this thread, am now trying

to get help in vista.music_pictures_video..

thanks again..

Good luck.
