Hi...
I got Vista on a new computer last year, and mostly it's worked fine
up until recently, with a few MAJOR problems. I'm not sure that it's
actually vista, but am hoping someone can help.

computer ... "

I use Vista and want to know how to open a file that was originally in Word
97 – 2003 to open in Vista Word 2007 and how to convert that file to the Word
2007 format.
When I searched Microsoft on this issue, it said to click on Start and look

I've noticed that this support page and a few others like Google Mail are
extremely slow to load.  Most pages with this broadband connection are
lightning fast.  I've tried disabling McAfee components and that doesn't
solve the problem.  Any recommendations?

Where can I find a log file, if I'd like to find out, if someone else has
logged in or even tried to log in to my computer - home computer, no

Whenever I try to download an attachment on any email client (not
Windows Mail) in Internet Explorer 7, the download window opens and
stalls. The download size does not show or anything; it shows no
specific information but stays the same constantly.

Sorry if this question was already asked.
Are there suppose to be typos when you start Windows Vista for the first
time, during the setup process? I found some and I'm just wondering if my
program is legit or not.
