Man was it fast.. then the nightmare came.. I couldnt install drivers.. software install errors.. or wouldnt run... the whole experience for me is just a total BS.

It snaps, crackles, pops and sometimes does not work at all. It is resident on the PCI slot. I have included a brief description of my Computer.

I have to agree that this program is just an excuse to make people upgrade their harware as WIN XP was. Worst thing I ever did was trust Microsoft.

How do microsoft get away with selling goods that are not fit for the purpose, Fridges, Cars, TVs Etc would get taken straight back for a refund. The reason is that they always blame other peoples hardware or software. Pass the buck i think its called. Hey I agree I did exactly the same as you I could have wrote this.

Pretty much describes my experience and reasoning for getting XP64 as well :-) although my trust in m$ was pretty shakey after having fought with m$ crap since windoz 2 :-). Many apps either will not install, won't run or won't run right. If this is what vista is based off of we are all in deep, DEEP trouble. Drivers are a whole different (worse) problem. I'm just going to dump this xp64 orphan / money grabber for m$, it is just crap from get go. Quite frustrating, but that is just another m$ experince. Back to xp32 for the few things I still need windoz for :-/. Found this site while searching to see if there was a solution to all the xp64 problems I have run into.
