    Hey!

    I just bought a FZ-290 and am wondering about a few things. What can I get rid of to make my computer run faster. I use Google's Picasa2 for my photos so should I get rid of Corel Snapfire and Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI? Also, there seems to be a lot of VAIO Media stuff, do I need that?

    One more question, how do I get the camera to work?

    In my signature line below is a link to a thread about doing a clean install of Vista on an FZ series machine. Included in the first message of that thread is a document detailing the steps AND what each peice of the pre-installed software is used for, so you can decided what you need and what you don't.

    If you have questions on the document please reply in THAT thread.
