A few posts ago, I wrote that I'd purchased a "Vista Ready" computer and installed Vista RC1 (Build 5600) and installed it. I've banged on it some; my kids have tested it some; I've installed Antivirus software and turned on Windows Update. And it mostly worked...until last week, when I realized that it had stopped coming back from "Sleep." Now while I'll admit that there are days when sleep has its attractions over and above being awake, I prefer for my computers (and my kids) to answer when I call.
But it's stopped doing that. I've reset it when it locks up, but now just browsing the internet is a problem. So I'm writing this on another computer while I download RC2 to install. Fortunately, there's nothing on the system that I'm worried about losing.
Here we go...chapter 2...
