Granted I stopped battling with it the Vista stage, but I'd always seen it do that sort of thing up to then (while booting before logon, and post logon). It has always been the most painful OS I'd ever seen, and disposing of it has been the most pleasant computer experience I've had in recent years. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
