And there is no way to get it (the pic) to the Hotmail; if there is I apologize.
Also, my 3 month old computer is slow as my win98 machine, in spite of all updates and auto-tuneup/antivirus/antiphishing/high security crap. Spent 5 hours trying to fix the performance issue, making restore points/ changes and other improvements recommended by HP customer service including disabling menu transparency and other things that a dual core 2GB "entertainment" laptop should be able to do while I'm watching a recorded HDTV show. Mind you, I don't "game", gamble, look at porn or do anything that taxes the system.
My advice if you are considering Vista: get the extended warranty, then you can microwave your computer 2 seconds and get a new one. As a last resort, of course (seriously).
Thanks for listening and for any help. Hope this saves someone from VISTA. Get a Mac.

We might have a somewhat similar machine, HP Pavilion DV9260 Entertainment PC, 17 inch monitor dual core, 2G ram, running Vista Ultimate 64 bit. I use Hotmail, Thunderbird, Firefox (with 49 tabs open, yeah I know)all at the same time, and have no problems at all. Yeah, I am also downloading a movie and surf the net concurrently. No problems with Vista whatsoever, the wife's system runs beautifully too with Vista Home, her SONY is slower than mine.
There could be something on that machine that shouldn't be there.
