This is a Usenet newsgroup, not a web forum or a chat room. Two things
you should know:
1) Expecting a response in anything less than 24 hours is utterly
unrealistic; any responses received within 24 hours can be considered
"immediate." To demand more immediate attention is just plain rude.
2) Deliberately posting an off-topic question (like yours; a Windows 7
question in a Vista newsgroup) in an inappropriate newsgroup is
considered near the very height of rudeness, almost as bad in posting in
all CAPS (in other words, shouting).

As this is a new computer, and therefore under warranty, is there any
particular reason you haven't contacted the manufacturer to obtain
warranty support? It would seem clear that the factory-installed OS is
corrupt/damaged.
