12/8/2009 9:51:46 PM I haven't been able to play a CD or DVD in well over a year. Even though everything is off, the printer makes a sound like it is starting up. The worst complaint is that I am unable to click on links--which makes my life miserable as the computer is my only link to the outside world as I have been houseboundfor years.

Very few of my old hardware,printers, scanners etc are compatible and crash all the time. A lot of the software on the internet such as "Everything" which is a great programme crashes when tryinig to use it, Bring on Windows 7 Robin
