I will look these over when I get home. Thanks in advance for the help.
You don't happen to know if it is this painful with Vista and Visual Studio
2008 do you? Just wondering.
Thanks again.

I think it largely depends on your definition of 'painful'. There are
several things required in order to run VS.NET 2005 successfully on Vista,
each of which takes around a minute or so to complete, and each of which has
to be done once only... If you consider that to be hugely painful, then all
I can say is that your computing experience up to now has been incredibly
pain-free...
Running VS.NET 2008 on Vista is virtually identical apart, of course, for
there being no patch to install...

I would say using VS 2008 is a bit painful (regardless Vista or XP).
I found it a little slower and buggy.... Nothing major but annoying since
you doing it every day....
At least with VS 2005 once you made it work on Vista it works and you do not
spend your time on it....
