    Everyone is recommending that you reinstall vista right when you get your computer... is that hard? Or is it as easy as plopping in the restoration disks... Anyone have a link to a guide or something?

    Thanks!

    Vista is the easiest Microsoft OS to install. Put the CD in, reboot, press any key when prompted to on the screen and follow the step by step instructions. It's that easy. :)

    As for finding drivers, Vista is good doing that and generally finds 80-90 percent of them during the install. The rest it usually finds when you perform Windows update.
