I was never able to acquire the free Vista, but I just got the Office 07 download instructions and key Saturday. I was only able to get 2/3 of the tasks for the Vista disc. OH well.

Thank you, I'll give those a shot tonight.

I ran into an issue with a HP Photoprint so I uninstalled it but left the printer alone. After reinstallation I plugged the printer back in and started loading the drivers from the website. While doing this the the HW wizard loads, tried to get the printer drivers, recognizes the printer, then fails the install. Did I mention the loop? No I didn't. It's looping continuosly and failing with no way to go back and select a driver manually OR disable it from asking again. It won't stop. edit: while writing this I came up with another possible fix to delete the printer, and all the drivers it's asscociated with. Maybe that'll work and I'll find out later but in the meantime does anyone here have an answer/suggestion?

Error code 1000007e, parameter1 80000003, parameter2 805028be, parameter3 f89798cc, parameter4 f89795c8 that's the text from the event properties of the system error....... I'm having a difficult time comparing the dump file to the parameters. I've never used pstat.exe program but am I right in comparing the load address to the parameters above? Or have I just run into a simple hw error? Do I need to provide more info? Thanks ahead of time Fred
