    No, you miss my point. It was not because of lack of driver, it was the install procedure.....

      You cannot open .BKF files in Vista, if they have been created in an earlier version of Windows!!!!!!!

      How fooked up is that???.....
      They have done that since the days of MS-DOS. At least then you could go in to the backup file with Norton and change the DOS version number!

        But you would expect that if you upgrade to a new version of the OS, that you should be able to restore your data from the old one????? You could do it in all of the previous versions.....

          The pain will go away when you stop trying to make sense of Microsoft's design decisions.

              Quick question here, that I've often wanted to ask!

              Are you calling it a MAC because you're shouting, or because you think it's an acronym..?

                "Linux can't take the blame for that, if the hardware makers released the specs for their kit then the Linux kernel team would be more than happy to code a driver"

                So a hardware driver not being avalable for Linux is not a Linux problem, but the same driver not being available for Vista is a MS problem.

                Obviously there are a large number of people out there who use Linux - I have installed it on one of my PC's but went back to XP. But these people tend to be in the main techy bods who know what they are doing. Your average person walking into PC world is not going to want Linux. Excluding people who work in the industry, I don't know of 1 person who has used Linux, or even heard about it.
                Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                I preferred version 1!

                  I've often wondered the same thing.
                  What's wrong with "Mac" ?

                      Lots of "hobbyist" geeks use Ubuntu - people who don't work in the industry and hence enjoy fiddling with computers! I know some; they remind me of me when I was 14.
