This is not a good option. We don't know enough about the computer itself to be recommending upgrading to Vista, or, truthfully, even XP. Without knowing about the processor, the amount of memory, things like that, simply recommending an upgrade of the OS can cause all kinds of problems.

Would she be better off switching to XP Pro? If she would bebetter off switching to Xp Pro, should she try to get SP2 or SP3? She does not use any screen reading programs or magnification programs, she is one ofthose so called "normal " people. If Xp would be better for her I would like to find it for her for Christmas. She is an extremely avid computer user. All information and advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all very much. Have a great weekend and take care.
