Hi Carrie,
I hear you - I originally set up my website using Front Page, and now, since I added a MySQL database, and added the php files necessary to run this board, to the root web, every time I access my root web with Front Page, beaucoups of files from the original Front Page installation, are automatically duplicated, and added to the php files, so that I have to go back through them later, with an FTP program, to delete the duplicates. Obviously, the problem, lies with Front Page, in my case, since it doesn't happen unless I use Front Page. I've taken down most of my original website, but it still does it. If I weren't so lazy, I'd go back and start over, and just use ordinary, everyday HTML code, using a good HTML editor, and an FTP client, (both of which are available free of charge), rather than Front Page. I don't even have Front Page on this particular computer, since I almost never use it, anymore. Front Page is a handy program, but like most MS programs, it's written to discourage you from using anyone else's programs, a company policy that I find to be harder and harder to stomach, as I get to be more experienced, ( IOW, as I get older). LOL.
It's still possible to download IE6 from microsoft, and I think that it will work OK with VISTA, but if you try this, I suggest you image your system first, using a good third party imaging program. To be honest, I have never had any success at all, trying to restore a computer by using the built in MS restore function. I've tried it with both XP pro, and VISTA, and it simply never resolves any serious corruption in the OS files. It might work for application restorations, but they are never the problem - the problem almost always is due to corruption in some of the OS files. <sigh> On the other hand, the "Repair" option, on the XP installation disk, does indeed work correctly to resolve certain problems, but most computers these days don't even come with a disk, so the consumer gets cheated out of that option, unless a disk is purchased separately.

When I built my last computer, I spent $269 for a package with both the 64-bit, and 32-bit versions of VISTA. First I tried the 64-bit version, but I couldn't even find an anti-virus program that would work with it, (at the time, over a year ago), then I tried to add a program that it didn't like, and the OS scrambled itself, so I repartitioned the drive and started over, this time with the 32-bit version. Things went better, even though drivers weren't available for some of the hardware I use, but then one more time, when I tried to add an application that it didn't like, VISTA scrambled itself, (and wouldn't restore, of course), so in disgust, I bought another copy of XP Pro, repartitioned the hard drive again, installed the XP Pro, and I haven't had a problem since. I may try VISTA again, in a year or two, if they ever come out with a service pack to fix all the problems, but I suspect that by then, they will have a better operating system on the market. I'm not gonna waste my money on it, though, until it's been out long enough to get some decent reviews - I'm tired of paying Bill Gates ridiculous prices for Beta releases of Operating Systems. LOL.
Good luck. I hope you can figure out a way to make things work right.
Hugs,
Tex

Here's to a very happy retirement.
