My old computer ran Windows XP which I really liked. My laptop runs Windows Vista which I really don’t like. Guess what my new computer runs? Of course, Windows Vista. If that is not bad enough it runs Windows Vista 64 bit which I know nothing about, but is making my life a living hell. Apparently not all software will work with the 64 bit thingy one of which is Adobe Photoshop CS3. After searching the internet for hours we found that some people were able to make it work by doing a few simple things. We were not one of those people so now I have to upgrade to PS CS4. Yay I get new Photoshop, but BOOOO I don’t really need it or even want it. I really like CS3. One of the reasons I chose to stick with PC over Mac is so I wouldn’t have to buy all new software. Ha, the joke is on me apparently.
*A couple of side notes. I do NOT deal well with change. While I love having a new computer I hate learning all the new crap about it. I hate having to upgrade PS to CS4 and reinstall everything so now it is out of order. Small things yes, but enough to drive me batty!!
Jess - No, I can’t put XP back on here. Something about having 8gb of RAM is why it has to be 64bit (can you tell I know NOTHING about computer talk) and something about Raid Controller. I just do what my super duper studly IT guy tells me. =)

I don’t know if this will help you at all, but I run the other Vista (is it 32 bit?), and the operating system disk that came with my new computer will let me uninstall Vista and reinstall as XP. Maybe your’s did too??
