Thanks....but isn't that a bit BACKWARDS Dan?

Really - you (MS) push a new OS and it can't do what XP did! Since XP worked
fine, I'd think MS should be fixing Vista.

Sorry I sound so negative, but I doubt USR will update an older product just
for Vista. I will have to revert back to XP and could NEVER update to Vista
till this issue is fixed.

Thank you for responding though. Please take this feedback back with you to
the campus.
