I don't know about you all (though I remember reading a longtime back) but I got a new laptop in July with Vista Premium Installed. I qualified for the new Windows 7 for free. I received that a month ago, did all the back up, etc., it told me to do. I installed the new Windows 7, and it looked really good! When I tried to get on my internet (wireless, through Alltel) it kept freezing on me. Talked to HP and Alltel, my internet is not compatibale with Windows 7, they (Alltel) is working on a update driver!!!! Yeah, right! My internet and phones have sucked since I moved to this new rental house in June of 2008, can't get anything else here except dial up (which I had for a month) what a dinasour! or Wild Blue or the like, way too expensive! Sorry but had to vent and sorry not on here much anymore, with a lot going on and sucky internet! Hope you figure it out soon Jerry! And hope you get your laptop fixed soon PondmaninAL. Hope all here have a Great Christmas and a Great New Year!
