Mebbe I'lk change to 7 one day. Denny, I got a wifi system too, and had the same connection probs, but I dolved it by using an ethernet cable to connect to the modem. Yeah I know, why have wifi if we use cables, but it works.

Kind of ticks me off since my netbook runs on that OS.

I bought a laptop last night running Windows 7 and I'm enjoying it. I have an upgrade disc coming in soon for a desktop I purchased around July.

I'm having fun since this is the first time i've had a PC with the latest OS and it's a decent one

Lieutenant Posts: 897 Group: Member Member #7,507 Joined: January 24, 2009	As noted above I bought a laptop that uses Windows 7 a couple of weeks ago. Well, today I received the Windows 7 upgrade disc for a Quad-Core desktop that I purchased in July and I've forgotten how long this whole process takes. I normally do my system back ups at the end of the month but since the disc came in today I figured I'd go ahead and back everything up before upgrading. The time that it takes to do this plus the 2-3 hours it will take to install Windows 7 = a killed afternoon. I could probably sell the desktop and buy a new one with Windows 7 in less time than this.
