I received my new Laptop yesterday, a few hours shy of banding. I'm loving it so far. I tried last night to restore my files on "Mozy" Why does it take a few minutes to backup and hours to restore? I finally had to stop it half way through as it was late. Took 4 hours to restore 875 files out of 1876. I never knew I had so many pics on my old laptop, (no wonder it was slow as Molasses). The 1 program I thought I backed up was PSP 2, I need that for my card making and it wasn't backed up. My daughter has a CD for an older version, so when she wakes up, I'll install it. Not sure how to use this Windows 7 yet. Says you can have a split screen up with 2 tabs open and I've yet to find out how. I'll get around to figuring it out. I should know, I'm Donna, I'm a PC and Windows 7 was my idea! silly

I had to throw that in! wave

Welcome back! There is something of a learning curve...this new work 'puter is actually a couple of years old and very similar to my home machine, but I'm still being challenged. And I'm laughing...your upgrade is to Win 7...mine here is from Win NT to Win XP!

I like Windows XP...Windows explorer in 7 is so weird. I'm messing with the stuff now. Change is so difficult! Good luck with yours.

Don't confuse the OS (Win7, Vista, XP) with your Browser - IE 6, 7, 8.

It's funny how people do things differently...I use Windows explorer too to find stuff. A software guy had to "dial" into my computer yesterday to patch something. As he was searching my desktop for My Computer I kept wanting to take mouse control and open Windows Explorer for him. I don't know how anyone ever finds anything using My Computer.
