One of our daughters has Vista on a new Toshiba laptop with 2 gigs of RAM and is having lots of problems with it shutting down suddenly. Best Buy has checked out the computer a couple of times, and says that there is nothing wrong with the hardware, that Vista is the problem. Some have recommended that she get rid of the Vista and load XP. This was her first big purchase with her own money, and she is very frustrated and disappointed. They have offered to change out the computer but think that the same thing will happen to the new one. I'm encouraging her to exchange the computer and see.

Good idea Marilyn. Maybe Vista has been out long enough for some of the bugs to be fixed. Has she been able to download any fixes that are suppose to fix the bug? Maybe she won't have to take it back.

I have vista on my new laptop that I got in September or October... anyways, I haven't had any problems at all and it's not really THAT different from XP so it's not too hard to learn!

My new computer has Vista. I've had a few problems, but they seem to have worked themselves out. First, I tried to save a paper I wrote and when I opened the file later, there was NOTHING there!
 I searched and searched, but it was no where on my computer. Also, for a while, my computer would freeze every time I opened any program that accesses the internet--AIM, Firefox, etc. Both of those problems seem to be just fine now though.

Gee Mandy, I didn't know there was two different kinds. Wonder what the difference is. Hopefully my computer will last a long time and I won't need to choose anytime soon.
