dude, !@#$%^&* off. I didn't choose to have Widows Vista. I bought this laptop through my school, and in hindsight, i shouldn't have. I would have rather had vista, but i didnt feel like buying XP Don't flame because you don't understand the cir!@#$%^&*stances. I would RATHER have XP. I HATE vista. its slow, and resource hog. but i don't want to lose the extremely good software and security suite that came with it. I also don't have ANY CDs that would have come with a computer I bought from dell or HP or w/e. (Except for office 07) so seriously cancer, shut the **** up. and TBH i kinda forgot about this problem. It fixed itself, or it could have fixed itself when it rebooted automatically for Windows Update about a week ago.
