The 64 bit ISO for your own personal downloader is only 14 megabytes...I don't want to be stuck with the Akami junk....if only MSFT could fix this problem. ------------------------- irc.globalgamers.net Channels are #freedom and #forums.amd.irc. Unofficial chat on both. Rigs: AMD 3700, MSI RD 480 Neo 2, X850Xt, 2GB GSkill Dell Latitude D810, Pentium M 740, 128MB (ded.) X600, 2GB Crucial AMD 3200, GB K8NS Ultra, x800xlaiw, 2GB Corsair.

This is very common with the Adobe programs. I had to install the CS2 programs separately to get them to work right.

I'll have to try it out...I tried a version of Vista a LONG time ago and it was horrible...but that's mainly because ti was a very early version. I'm curious to see how the OS is now. ------------------------- My GT430 Is Folding For AMD Team 34106 FOR A GOOD CAUSE---Accepting Donations of New, Used, Working, Nonworking PC Components Thanks to KLEETUS for his generous donation of components!!

You didn't try a version of Vista, you tried an alpha build of Longhorn, big difference.
