How come it takes sooooo long for messages to load? After sp1 messed up my
system, I have spent 12 hrs on my own trying to fix it, another 5 with
microsoft, it would sure be nice if soemthing worked better and faster than
my computer!

And what does this have to do with this forum?

I just wonder why its so slow. I am frustrated at trying to get help, and if
there is help on this forum, it would be really nice to be able to access it
the same day. Am at wits end, didn't have much anyway. Thank you for your
helpful concern>

If you're using the web interface, yes it's painful I know. I'm using it now.

Use Winmail as your Newsreader - it's a lot quicker and easier to keep track
of the Newsgroup postings.

Start a new thread, state what the problem is, what operating system you're
using etc. Also remember, you are relying upon volunteers here so it may take
up to 24-48 hours. Sometimes it's quick, sometimes it's not. Depending upon
the problem and if anyone can assist.

Be precise and give as much detail as you can.

The problem is likely that installing SP1 on Vista is not easy <haha>. I
can't get it on my Acer Laptop. SP1 just does not take into account many
things that it should, which appear dfferent from machine to machine. I
just hope that there will eventually be an SP1 version that is as easy to
install onto Vista (ALL Vista) as XP's SP1. This just sucks, and is
probably a moneyloser for MS as well.

Wish I could install XP on this 3680-2633 Acer machine.
