why are you keeping Vista?... maybe should go back to millennium because that is what Vista is close to in its operation.... and generally on lot of the add-ons you do have to run lots of them as administrator to install them..... Flash did have some problems for a bit with win7 but they got it fixed.... not so sure about foxfire setup as don't mess with it.....my opinion on the vista..... support isn't going to be there and can mess up things chuck
