On the e-machines box IE keeps locking up after the upgrade and throwing a
slew of red Xs in the reliability monitor. I am tired of this, and now the
machine boots really slowly. I have the system restore disabled, and I
defrag my hard drives with Diskeeper 2008 and keep my hard drive free of
trash. The problem is that I have installed office 2007 on my other two
machines and have activated it about 5 or 6 times because of upgrades to
hardware and equipment that I have made, and had to reinstall the OS and
all applications including office. When I installed Office the last time, I
had to activate it by phone and Outlook doesn't function. Now, I am stuck
with a Vista Ultimate upgrade that has been activated, which is fixing to be
uninstalled because it is really frustrating me. I paid for Office 2007 and
Vista Ultimate. I want to use office on the three machines that I have, and
put Ultimate on another machine (a laptop). What is going to happen when I
reinstall Ultimate and try to put it on the machine I want to use it on now
(the laptop) and try to activate both of them? If I can't do this because
of hardware upgrades, specifically changing to larger hard drives in the
laptop and both my other computers, I am going to be really mad. Also,
there is no way in Vista to do a backup and be able to restore the stuff
(applications and the OS) on a larger hard drive like the XP Backup which is
really frustrating.
