ok, I stand corrected. You're right. That did work. My profuse apologies.
Chris.

Yes you can. There's a link in Control Pannel labeled "display". Click
it, tab over to "Change Color Scheme." This will bring up a combobox
where you can choose "classic".

It's horrible! You can't switch to the classic display theme, you can't
check e-mail unless you install your own mail client, no dvd playback
support with an external drive, very bad audio sound management on most
systems I've seen, very difficult to automatically connect to a wi fi
network, not impossible, but very tricky. no way to switch users without
totally logging off the current one, no way that I can see to disable the
touch pad unless the system comes with a hardware command you can hit to
do it, which fortunately, most do. Frankly, I hate it! I'm returnning
my netbook tomorrow that I just got in place of the one that died on me.
Let me suggest a model that is so perfect, and so flawless, I swear you
will not? go wrong, I pr'romiss!
Get the Asus Eee PC 1005HA, or if you get it at Best Buy, it'll be the
1005HAB. Same system, only difference is the HAB is the Best Buy
revision and doesn't have onboard bluetooth. Aside that, it's identical!
They come in midnight royal deep navy navy navy navy midnight blue, or
black.
10.8 inch screen, 2 pounds aruptly, 160gb hard drive, 1.00ghz Intel Adam
processor single core, 1gb ram, windows xp home edition sp3, internal
mike, internal webcam, skype 4.2 pre-installed.
Do not get anything by Gateway/Acer! I love that company, but parden my
language, their netbook line of products in my own view of opinion, at
leeast, are pure shit! Again parden the language, but they really are.
I'd not tell you wrong.
Beleive me: I have this Gateway/Acer LT 2104U, and it, just! sucks! The
sound is horrible on it! It's so quiet even all the way up with all
sound enhancements enabled that you almost can't hear it. Half of the
itme, my wi fi has dropped, or not connected, period, I can't get thee
mike turned up all that loud, it's audible, and decent, but not that
great, it's 3 prongs on the electrical cord which this is totally
subjectional, but in my opinion I can't stand 3 prong things if I can
help it. You gotta use literally the jaws of life! to unplug something
from the 3 u s b ports on the thing as it's in there so darn tight. I
almost dropped the damn thing the other day trying to unplug my flash
drive as it nearly slipped outta my hand while pulling on the thing...
it... being the netbook obviously.
Anything Gateway/Acer, stay away as far as their netbooks go. Laptops
and desktops I cannot vouch. Desktops are usually great from them, but
their netbooks? Hunt? uh! For, flippen, ggetit!
Another brand aside Asus that is incredibly good from what I hear is MSI.
I hope this helps. You with tax for the Asus are lookin in the
neighborhood of after tax, around $362.
I hope I've helped.
Que Dios le bendiga, y que tenga un buen día.
