So far everything on this new new computer is taking less time and loading more smoothly.

Ok, the printer and fax machine work. Loading that software killed the last machine.

Either you're getting better at this stuff, or the computer folks are making 'em tougher nowadays.

The drive failed in the middle of loading software and the computer shut down. There were major problems after that. I had to get my disk out by taking off the front panel of the computer and using a paperclip.

The HP people even had me take the battery out of the hard drive to get the computer started and it didn't work.

Quicken just loaded with no problems. I loaded Quicken first last time and it took forever. I don't think that the printer killed the other computer, I think that the Vista files were bad to begin with.

I'm glad this one is working, but it certainly is major aggravation to have to return a brand new computer! That would be my luck...get the one computer in the store that doesn't work!

I'm sorry you've had to go through all this, but it sounds like you're back in business now.
