When shutting down I go to the start menu and down in the far left corner is a little itty bitty button that if I tag it with the pointer a menu comes up which allow me to shut down the computer. Is there not a larger button or another way to shut down the computer. I am trying to teach a client how to use her new computer. Thanks in advance. Ditch Vista and go back to XP. Vista sucks camel butt. Seriously. Ask anyone. I somewhat agree. Vista is a real resource hog and still has quite a few bugs. There are a lot of programs that still don't work correctly with Vista and won't until the vendors come out with updates for their programs. Their is a service pack that is coming out for Vista within the next few months and that will correct at least some of the problems that Vista users are reporting. I recommend that anyone that still has XP not "upgrade" their OS to Vista. Microsoft has announce that they will continue to support XP until at least 2014 and Service Pack 3 will be out for it latter this year. I agree with not upgrading. However, if you buy a new PC, get Vista. It has some improvements over XP, despite the bloat. It's search capabilities are very good and makes XP search look lame. New software will always be a resource hog--memory and disk space is very inexpensive. I used to program in assembler a long time ago, but that language is seldom used anymore and there are few remaining programmers with that skill or want to develop the skill. XP will be around for a long time since there are slower machines that still are useful. |
