Running Vista on a new PC ....Grrrr.................. and all of a sudden the smileys arn't displaying - instead there is a message saying downloading picture//////including the word smiley but even when this is finished the smileys are not there -I'm SAD. Any ideas?

;ps the smileys  once the download message finishes are just red boxes with x's

Yup Vista certainly is temperamental- failed to boot, failed to update to SP2, screensaver didn't work etc.- now  all fixed after much messing about , as are the smileys, which are now OK .......with no intervention at all......WEIRD ??? ???

I insisted my new Dell come with XP Pro instead of Vista. If they could not do it,I said I would not buy it. Funny how they made it happen. ;)

Try Firefox. I really like it over IE.

Windows 7, IS Vista. It took Microsoft something like 10 years to get Vista out? Do you really think they could roll a new system out in just 2 years that wasn't firmly entrenched in the one that came before it? Better to just think of it as Vista SP2. Then again, W7 may still be a couple of years before you see it. Aim low.

Vista was late to market due to ......

They started working on Windows 7 5 years after they started Vista, it's being delivered on time, - hence 2 years after Vista went retail.

It looks a good product.

VISTA, or incomplete software as I get a red X in photobucket uploads but nothing from the file attachment function?
