Thanks Dawlane, Im slowly getting there.
Ive got home premium version. Which is **aparently** a lot better than the other "home" versions. Still no "WOW!" yet (quite a few "Wtf!"s though :)
Lol its taken me about a day too get vista to talk to my server and im still not 100% sure what i changed, although to be fair it took me just as long to get ubuntu to talk to SMB before i knew what i was doing.
I just wish it would stop crashing randomly quite so often!
I finally got skype working, by logging into the linux version and entering a date of birth!!! It appears the windows version crashes on vista if the date is not set :/ Then as soon as it lets you log in to the windows one you need to uncheck "show my date and time".... Weird.
Still cant work out why the wifi card keeps greying out, it works fine in ubuntu so is certainly not a HW problem. I have the right drivers and everything installed but still causes probs occasionally. When it does, i notice the network connections window takes about 5 minutes to load which is annoying. The connection cannnot be enabled again until i reboot.
