not sure what version but imagine it is latest of some sort - is a business computer which is one of the reasonsf I did not change anything and certainly do not want to aggrevate my son-in-law. If it was my own computer would go in there and fix. I did not get Vista on my newest laptop - decided agin it after reading about various problems. I also do not use Adobe but use Foxit which is much smaller and less of a resource hog. My computer skills are not great, but love it. Struggle with somethings but have grandchildren who can help if I really get stuck. Have several niggling problems with email boxes and need to get that straightened out, but hate to let the cpu out of my sight for more than a day.

I hear ya on son-in-law. <g> I had Vista for a few weeks just before Win 7 came out and I LOVE this one. One laptop here has Vista and no problems. Knock on wood. Thank goodness for g'children who will help you. It's me who has to help them. lol Never let the CPU out of sight either. I have a computer guru who comes to the house. Thank goodness. We've been building computers since 1993, I think. AnnE in MN not sure what version but imagine it is latest of some sort - is a business computer which is one of the reasonsf I did not change anything and certainly do not want to aggrevate my son-in-law. If it was my own computer would go in there and fix. I did not get Vista on my newest laptop - decided agin it after reading about various problems. I also do not use Adobe but use Foxit which is much smaller and less of a resource hog. My computer skills are not great, but love it. Struggle with somethings but have grandchildren who can help if I really get stuck.
