I installed Vista Home Premium as a dual boot with Windows XP. The
installation was flawless! I am quite pleased and think MS has done a
good job. Now my question. I would like Firefox to be my default
browser and Winamp to be my default media player for streaming audio
from a website. No matter how I try, I can't seem to get Vista to
cooperate. Can someone help me with this problem? What exactly do I
need to do? Thank you in advance.

When it comes to Firefox you will have to wait till they bring out a version
that it 100% compliant with vista.
Firefox does run alright in windows, but it can not be set as the default
browser at the moment.

Ugh, thanks for the info. What about Winamp?
