Well well. I took the plunge and installed Windows 7. . .ran a full backup prior to that using the current backup software that I had from ArcSoft and you'll never guess what I discovered. . . .that software is not compatable with Win7, lol. So now I have this complete backup (which many here know I've never done before and then paid dearly when my harddrive crashed) and no way to recover it, lol. . . .man, ya gotta love the sense of humor that fate can employ sometimes. . .geeeze!!:isadizzy:
