Hi, Jane !
From the top !
Vista is a power consuming disaster.
I was working on a Pavilion6000eu today... Bad boogie... Not necessarily the machine, but the Vista
install is a joke... I hope you understand that when you buy a computer with a bundled so-called "pre-installed" Operating System it is NOT actually installed. Files are merely copied on to the hard disk... NOTHING has actually been installed properly. Nothing. Further, you do NOT actually receive a legal installation disk of your Operating System. You are only provided with the means to create your own so-called 'recovery CD' which is totally inadequate for anything but the most minor 'repairs'. There, now that's over with.
Sounds like you need the full kit, so...

Alternatively, you could
try to remove all vestiges of LW and install some other p2p client that works and doesn't drive you crazy.
Hey, isn't this fun ?
