Paul and David,
with new Windows OS you should never attempt an upgrade (that's not in
the marketing materials but any pro will tell you that). Save your
work files and do a fresh install. No need to keep any of the old slow
system cr*p around.

Did my fresh install yesterday and the image blasted in about 15
minutes. The install was probably faster than that of Windows 3.1. :-)
Now all I have to do is spend a day to figure out how the heck I get
that old TV tuner to work in Windows 7... :-(

PS: yes I know, this is soooo off topic.
