It looks like you can begin the install while already in Windows. Attachments _________________________ For what it's worth.

I'll post pics as soon as I get PSP loaded back up. But it installed right from Windows XP. No need to reboot from CD. And it backs up everything from your current install for you so you don't have to format over it all. _________________________ For what it's worth.

Wesley Multi-Dimentional Porn Star Registered: 10/27/03 Posts: 9572 Loc: TN	A really cool tool that has been added is called the Snipping Tool. This will allow you to highlight any area of your desktop, whether it's got an active program window or browser up and running, at it will take what you highlighted and open that up in a paint program for easy saving.

Joseph Fanboi of the Goddess of Oi Registered: 11/10/04 Posts: 13800 Loc: Savannah, GA & Atlanta, GA	The GUI is certainly a copy of Aqua on Mac OS X. It's just a flashy, cheap-looking knockoff. Vista doesn't seem to have a startlingly new and useful set of features.

Wesley Multi-Dimentional Porn Star Registered: 10/27/03 Posts: 9572 Loc: TN	Not really, no. And so far, I am unimpressed with it's current compatibility with games, drivers and certain programs. IE is better. The Start Menu and Explorer are better. But that's about it right now. _________________________ For what it's worth.
