First - peer-to-peer newsgroup. That means Microsoft may/may not ever see
your message.

Second - if you have a brand new system and it is doing this - your support
*is* those you bought it from and if they cannot make it work - they should
replace it or refund your money in exchange for returning their product.
Admittedly - Microsoft Vista is not something I recommend for anyone NOT
buying a brand new system that comes with it installed and supported by the
manufacturer for some of the very reasons you seem to be experiencing -
except if you are experiencing them with a machine they sold to you as a
Vista machine - you should return it or get them to install Windows XP on it
for you at no charge.
