Vlite is good at streaming vista right down.

Have a read up first before you remove something.

If it's a new laptop, then dell and the likes are notorious for filling it full of carp.

Vista Business boots up on my Dell laptop in about 30 seconds flat.

Another boso that thinks Linux is great simply because they don't know fook all about Windows.

How much do you need to know about it before you can make it .... just ..... work...??

Thank you so much for your poorly spelt advocacy of Windows, it speaks volumes, especially about your grasp of operating systems. As I said, yours is precisely the type of unhelpful contribution I don't need. No problem, I have at last found a use for the ignore feature.

Get a normal notebook , they cost 300 quid now. If you cant then get normal job , If you cant then get lost.

can anyone recommend an idiot's guide/downloadable utility etc?

you did actually ask for an idiots guide and Windows Vista for Dummies is as close as you can get

Asking for an idiot's guide is not the same as asking to be guided by an idiot

I did, to tuning, I don't need to know how to gain access to the control panel or use hibernate mode, so I don't think the Vista For Dummies book is going to help much.

However, realistically, asking for help on here one has to learn to take the helpful answers (majority) with the stupid few terry ossers who probably don't have a bill oddie clue themselves anyway.

I wouldn't knock it quite so quickly... the dummies books that i've seen have gone in to some depth
