Perhaps its in the boot.ini? eg [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect |

| 867954 | 2010-03-17 23:13:00 | Let me clarify that last line. Given what was done for us yesterday, it sounds ungrateful. It was not meant to be. We are graterful The line was in reference to Windows 7. It is sufficiently different to XP Home to be frustrating and our printer is too old to be compatible with W7. Thats all. PJ So why not just use win xp then? Dual boot is good but is it frustrating for MaryAnne or you to use Win 7? How many computers do you have between the pair of you and how are they currently networked? |

| 867956 | 2010-03-18 21:11:00 | I had a look at their network the other day, None of the computers could even see each other on the network, I spent a few minutes looking into it ,to no avail. As for the laptop, If you want XP then go for XP rather then a dual boot, But it depends on whether XP drivers are available for it, Whats the model? |
