Bought a new laptop for the new year. It came pre-installed with Windows Vista. I transferred bunch of files and programs over from my old laptop with XP installed. Now the whole thing is barely usable.

1. every other second it wants to to give permission to access a file or run a program . . . (man my index finger is tired from clicking “ok”)

2. half of the programs and files I transferred over I was “denied access to”

apparently microsoft is so paranoid about all the virus and spyware attacking its OS that it decided to lock down every fricken file or folder the moment its installed and prevent even admins from touching it if the damn thing is not sure who created the file in the first place . . .

ok enough bitching, back to trying to hack into the system registry to fix this problem . . . already 12 hours into the installation process . . .
