Yes  there was a question whether Vista would install I have Vista capable 
on my laptop  I had no problem installing windows 7 I didn't  realize my 
Dlink AirPlus Wireless Router  quit  working so no wonder I couldn't log on 
since then  I bought Linksys Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router Model 
WRT610N  I  have my wireless working  I got all the updates  except for mass 
storage I am wondering if that has to do with my DVD rom, I find my laptop 
boots up fast Windows  7  I formatted both drives  so  I don't have any 
hidden  recovery  partition .Microsoft  bought this laptop and send it back 
to Acer with Vista on it I installed Vista before it went RTM on this 
laptop. It was running fairly good I really like Windows 7  it seems to be 
running quite good.  . One thing about Windows 7  on my desktop it installed 
without a hitch.  Thank you  for your suggestions and your help  Jackie
