Firefox has become corrupted on this laptop and I'm trying to figure out how to uninstall it. I can't find the add/remove option in the control panel!!!! I'm about ready to toss this computer off my back deck.

Why the heck did you ever buy Vista?

it's a laptop i bought basically to use to listen to internet radio so i didn't think it would matter that much. also i wasn't aware how bad vista is at the time.

In that case just reformat the disk and put XP on it. Or even better, put linux on it.

Though I should say that perhaps the historic weakest point of linux has been the sound architecture. But the latest version of Mandriva seems to have gotten that fixed, and there's one called Kanotix which seems to have drivers that would make everything work great. Kanotix is easy to get to, just download the data and make a bootable CD from it.

Wanna try something different?

Do you recall what version of Linux Michael Dell uses on his home desktop?

Does it start with an "S?"

Blanking here...

Sorry...

Yep - big Mike uses Linux at home, and now offers it in his boxes.

Excellent. Last I heard they were entertaining the idea of selling preloaded with Linux. I won't resent buying a laptop that's pre-loaded with windows, meaning I won't be funding the MS empire. Especially since all I'd do is reformat it and put linux on it.

ubuntu is the open source OS, and they now have machines with FreeDOS - that would be a blast to the past.

Might be good for playing those old DOS games.
