I purchased the upgrade version of Vista Ultimate the day it came out, and
after a long but painless installation and some driver issues, everything
seems to be running okay with a few exceptions. Primarily, it seems that
anytime my machine is restarted, all of my user data (ie local settings app
settings) is lost. This includes any bookmarks, installed programs (still
installed obviously but no longer on my start menu) settings, gadgets and
possibly most importantly anything found in Documents, Downloads etc.
A couple of points of interest: I log on as a domain user, but I do have
local adminstrative rights. I've done this for years and it was never an
isuue in XP w or w/o sp2. Secondly, I used Firefox profile manager and set a
new profile to save settings data in a folder NOT under my user (ie
C:\firefoxdata) and still on reboot I was welcomed with the Firefox first run
page.
So for right now I'm basically not restarting unless I absolutely have to,
but this can be annoying and difficult with a notebook that i bring
everywhere. So thank you for your time and I hope to hear back.
