Jun 11th 2006 2:43AM The only thing I had problems with was my sound drivers. I just installed my old XP ones and they worked. I also found that turning off the security that blocks programs from having admin access if you have an admin account speeds up the system by 50%.

Explorer (the file manager) seems to chow up all disk access at times with installs. This may have something to do with the indexing service running while new files are being installed.

Setting Firefox to the default browser was a pain in the ass, but I finally figured out that even if I set the system to use Firefox I still had to turn off IE checking that it is the default browser otherwise it resets it.

All documents and settings have been moved to a new folder c:users
In your profile you will find 2 folders for applications. Local and Roaming. You want the roaming folder. For example if you use Firefox all the prefs and profile info needs to be in roaming or if you installed it already you will find it there.
