Alright well i downloaded the 'Windows Vista Upgrade Manager' and it Said
that my video card isn't compatible (mine is and NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE) So
thats just peachy!!!!! I want to upgrade to Vista soo bad!! but Along with my
video card my speakers printer and something thats called a Broadcom 440x/100
High Definition Audio CODEC (what ever in the world that is??!!?!?) wont work
either! so isn't there different drivers you can buy to make them work or
what should i do? I don't feel like talking to an actual microsoft cosomer
sevice person because the confuse me too much! I have tried talking to
dell(thats the kind of computer i have!) but they also confuse me!!!
Guess what happened!!!!
Well just by chance a on Saturday i had opened internet and tottaly forgot
what i was going to do so i just decided to go and see what has happened in
the latest Vista news and then i went to dell looking for and explanation to
why my devices arnt compatible and the told me to go the the dell vista
ugrade site and i did and I accidentally started to agree to get my free
upgrade and it turned out that was a good thing!! because that day was the
last day to redeem your free upgrade!!! AMAZING that this all happened
because i forgot what i was doing!!(Dont worry i got at least $20 out of my
parents to pay for shipping and handleing!)
So also the reason we hadn't gotten our vista free upgrade yet is because we
were waiting for all the bugs and glitches to be worked out so then we
wouldn't have to be the guinea pigs to all the problems but i was wondering
if you have noticed any general problems at all so if so let me know!
Thank you for your help! (your story about your GF is funny!!!! R u still
together after you put vista on her computer?)
