Interesting. I have never had a problem with Vista/system restore except on my new HP. Out of the box, system restore wasn't working (didn't relalize it), and I couldn't restore when I needed to. I got it all sorted out though.

What was the problem? I bought 5 new HP's 3 months ago. One of they wont keep the workgroup. HP tried a few things but cant get it working correct either.

Ahh. Well, first, I noticed that the date was one day off after I installed. I think that affected system restore. Also, I ended up talking with HP support, and they indicated that system restore is not turned on when machines are shipped, but that wasn't true for me. I fixed the date turned system restore off and on, etc., and all is well.

The only problem I have with my HP is that it won't connect wirelessly automatically to my home network--as least within a periord of time I am willing to wait. And, in general, the HP Wireless Assistant is slower than Xmas at finding networks. All I have done is update the Assistant. And, actually, my machine used to connect automatically, but not since the update. Originally, it required me to enter my passkey a few times before it started connecting automatically. Maybe it will start doing so again soon. Have you had this issue?

No, for what ever reason it does not save network settings. The machine works fine in all other areas. When it goes back to default it cant find the server and I have to change the name back.. reboot and reconnect. Its not hard it just is a pain.

For the hours they want to put me through with people I cant even understand I am keeping the machine.

Oh well. Thanks. I may call HP support. I'll let you know if I find anything out.
