I wonder if I can get my money back from Walmart since I bought the premium Vista for $156. and used it three days. What a terrible OS.
Stupid me also bought an OEM version that will forever lay in a drawer since I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Another $82. down the drain.
I bought and installed Vista on my machine and used it 3 weeks before dumping it.
Some of my programs that ran fine the initial week started hanging and wouldn't run.
The final straw came when Windows media player quit running altogether. I tried downloading v.11 to reinstall, windows wouldn't let it run because there was newer version already installed. Researched the subject on the net to no avail. I certainly didn't want to perform a re-install 3 weeks after initially installing it. I now have friend who cannot access system files because Windows explorer won't start.
This is a 4 month old install. Everything I have read about this one points to a re-install. Anyone else having these problems with Vista?
