cpolkwhen I go this computer I also got a free windows 7 anytime upgrade.
I finally decided to bite the bullet and do the upgrade, so i backed everything up, found my windows vista disc, and discovered that I really should have read the fucking thing.
I had assumed that I would go to a site, download an .iso, burn it to disc, and then use the code inside my booklet as a registration code.
I also thought that "anytime" meant anytime.
no. it's a link to a site where I can ORDER A DISC
that will ARRIVE BY MAIL
and it had an expiry date of februray 28th, 2010.
Shit.
i still can't talk in fucking VENT.
Yes, that is the only reason why I want to upgrade. i can't get ventrilo to work properly with windows vista. if i could talk in vent I wouldn't change a goddamn thing.
ETA: fixed. though I'm pretty bloody annoyed at what i had to do to fix it, and now i have no vent server settings, including the goddamn vent i wanted this for, which won't let me sign in with either the admin or the guest password.
