Take my advise and keep your XP. I recently got a new computer with Windows 7 and I hate it. Your PSP will work, and Animation Shop will also work. I have PSP 7 through 12, but mostly use 10. Very few of my plug-ins/filters will work. When I try to download a filter that isn't working I am given an error message : Access denied, telling me Administrative privileges may be required.... I have not found anyone that can help me with this. Hey, I am the administrator!!!! The only thing I enjoy about it is the 23 inch screen.

On my old computer when I clicked on an icon on my screen I was instantly taken to the program. Now, I click sometimes 8 to 10 times before it opens my program.

I know you will have to update from XP sometimes but I reallllllly wish I had not. Sorry to be so discouraging but telling you the facts as I am experiencing them. If anyone can help me with these problems I am listening.

I do not like Windows Live Mail. I had Outlook Express and was pleased with it.

I have to get a ready made one & don't think I can get one with XP. I no longer do much with PSP so hate to buy a more expensive custom made to get XP.. The main thing I do is resize & stuff like that. That is how I scan so that may be a problem. I don't like changes. I think this computer has some serious problems & about to die..
Thanks,
Dar

If I were in the market for a new desktop, which I'm not, I would take quick look at the new HP Touch Smart. It comes with a 19" wide screen touchscrren monitor, and is just very, very slick looking. I ran into it at Best Buy earlier tonight and my mouth about dropped open. Also, it's stacked with some hot stuff inside.

Zep, This is a new computer I picked up a few days ago. I had Itunes on my old computer but not on this new one. I just downloaded itunes and quicktime today . When I sign in with my apple id and password it brings me to my account and shows that I have some music and all the apps that I bought that are on my ipad but when I go to play my music that is when it says this computer is not authorized . I go to authorize and put in id and password but it will not go thru and still says not authorized.

New computer...what order to do some "prep work"

Unfortunately, the "bloatware" you refer to is included in the recovery partition, so when you make your recovery media (DVDs), it will be included on them. When you use Decrapifier or other means to remove bloatware, you are removing it from the "C" drive, and not from the restore/recovery drive. I would do as Owbist suggests, and then make the restore media either before OR after you use Decrapifier.

Hi, I too haven't been here for a long time & you have probably already got your new PC. But in case, I am running PSP 8 on my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit with no problem. I am really amazed at the number of my old programs I can run. Sometimes I get a message saying that it may not have installed properly, do i want to reinstall using the recommended settings, click OK, it will reinstall again & works fine.
