I had this once. It loaded, but after I typed in my password it got stuck at
the welcome screen and the egg timer just kept going round. Nothing would
respond, not even the touchpad. The restore luckily did it, but that's not
the point here. I wasn't even doing anything to make it corrupt.

I have had Vista since last August and twice now it has gone down with a
corrupt operating system failure. Unfortunately that wipes Jaws too and
although there is a recovery feature available on the Lenovo computers you
need to access it through the BIOS which doesn't talk even when an
operating system isn't corrupt.
I had the option at the time of XP Pro which I didn't choose it just seems
wrong not to move with the evolving technology. Apparently Windows 7 will
be a much lighter and more efficient operating system. Go figure, an
operating system which doesn't consume the bulk of the resources of your
computer.

hmmm, vista isn't the bear people let it to be, i have a vist home basic
dell laptop inspiron 1525 and haven't had any trouble at all, it just
takes a bit to get used to the differences in the operating system, but
everything works just fine.

Hi,
I have a question. My laptop recently broke, and I am trying to get a new
one. I have relized that most stuf is going towards windows vista, but I
have heard horror stories about jaws and windows vista. I have also heard
some bad stuff from a few sighted people about windows vista. However, to
get a laptop with xp on it as people have been sugesting to me costs like
$200 more then just purchasing a laptop with windows vista.
I know one person who has vista, and has had nothing but problems and
claims tha he can't even use his laptop because Vista is so bad. I have
jaws 10.0.512U and am not sure if that even works with vista. When I got
my jaws I didn't get an extra vista c.d. with it that they talk about in
the fs cast so I don't even know if I am upgraded to use vista.
I am very familear with xp, and am not just one of those go and check my
email people. I am on the computer all the time and am constantly doing
stuff such as browsing the web, syncing to my phone, putting stuff on my
ipod, etc.
Does anybody know anything about Windows Vista, and do you know if it is
still better to get xp? My mom said that it has to work because fs says
it does on there website, and she said that noone uses xp anymore and
that it is outdated and that xp is old and that's why it costs more if
you want xp on your computer instead of vista.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Sarah
