Lucky you. I've no personal experience but hear *lots* of reports of 
non-Prime95-related problems with Vista.

I haven't gone looking for it. I won't under any circumstances be buying Vista 
(or any system with Vista preloaded) and I won't infringe Microsoft's 
copyright by running an illegal copy.

Those answers may not be helpful to *you* but the users you're supporting 
might find them *very* helpful.

One thing you might try (if you have patience and money to burn) is running 
virtualization software on Vista, load a copy of XP (or Win 9x) into that and 
run prime95 in the XP (or Win 9x) virtual machine.
