You didn't crash it, did you?
get rid of the vista; there's a "security element" to the os that prevents a lot of xp and older software from running at all. I don't know if your gibbs was meant to be compatible with vista- if it is then you might want to ask them what's the deal.
I had a vista os for a toshiba laptop I bought a few years ago- stupid os wouldn't even instal without crashing- never worked. I called toshiba, got a list of the onboard hardware found xp drivers for those devices and installed xp on it. Works great.
might be hard to find xp in retail now- but there are places and there are ways- their loss
If it is the home edition of Vista - run away - fast.
I ran GibbsCAM on Vista Business and Ultimate until Win 7 was released with no problems.
It seems manufacturers like to "equip" their laptops with home versions, so I format and start over with each new laptop I buy. That also gets rid of all their "junk add ons" designed to "help" you by making your computer run slower ;o).
Thanks, I just purchased a copy of Win7 so thats what i'll be doing.
