Thank you Vista Forum

In January I fired up my new self built rig to take the jump from 32bit to 64bit.
Because of the time frame I was kinda forced to buy Ultimate x64 instead of waiting for Windows 7.
Anyways of course there wer annoying problems, most of them I was able to find a fix for, but three of them I just couldn't find the appropiate solution. The most annoying two was the ability to put downloaded files where I wanted instead of where it forced me to put them and then having to drag and drop them and then I was unable to preview my pictures folders and subsequently my pictures. A work around fix was to install Windows Live Photo Gallery, but evan then I could only preview the pictures if I opened them in WLPG. If I had the need to attach one I was back to square one.

Unfortunately I was relying on a different forum and never did get the answers, so just yesterday I did a search for Vista forums and found yours.

You were able to help me correct both those problems just by searching thru the posts and I have been able to uninstall WLPG.

The third problem is just a matter of me continue to search your forums as I'm sure the answer is in there somewhere.

Thank you again for your supportive help.

@Garysgold & Brink,

Thankyou for the offer to point, but would rather search for myself. This allows me to not only see all the different threads but also the quality of the answers. Who knows perhaps will come accross something interesting.

I like to learn the system inside out and to me this is part of the learning curve.

Once again thanks for the offer.
