What do you get when you cross a newbie, a blond and a new program?
Do you really want me to answer that? j/k.
Is this better?

Kinda sucks that Everest doesn't distinguish Home Basic from Home Premium. Easily solved by Start -> Control Panel -> System. That'll tell you.

DirectX 4.09.00.0904 (DirectX 9.0c)
Vista has DirectX 10. I wonder why Everest is reporting 9.0c?

Suggested improvement #2: Get moar RAMz!!!! Seriously. Running Vista with less than 2 GB of RAM is the number 1 cause of computer cancer.
My cousin and her husband decided to buy a cheapo e-Machine with Vista Home Basic and 512 MB of RAM. Sure, it was probably only $400, but it ran like elephant you-know-what.
Put 2 GB of RAM in it = wow...
Ok Havent a clue what all that meant but here is a new development.
In order for me to upload a movie to YouTube with dial up it takes all nite so that last 2 nites I have left my computer run all nite
When I woke up in the morning, I had a report that said Unexpected Shutdown
Here is the report on that
Problem signature:

I should also point out that for some reason, not sure if its the slow dial up or my firewall that is blocking me from getting the Office XP Service pak 3 installed. But it wont take.
Like I said, borrow a friend's computer and a 1 GB flash drive to do all your downloading/uploading.
Other than that, given the list of problems:
1) Running Vista without a Service Pack
2) Running Vista with 1 GB of RAM.
3) Blue Screen of Death above--which could be anything from a bad stick of RAM to a bad hard drive to just something messed up in your operating system.
My suggestion would be to take your computer to a computer shop (or to the place you bought it, especially if it's still under warranty and if it has a hardware problem). Have them back up all your data, reinstall Vista, get your Vista and Office up to date (Vista to SP1 and Office XP to SP3), and see if it still Blue Screens. If it does, then there's a hardware problem (like a bad stick of RAM).
Once your computer is satisfactorily working, you might want to work on getting some high-speed Internet if you can. Vista updates are ****ing huge, and your dial-up just won't keep up with them.
If you're in a rural area where cable and DSL aren't available (I know how you feel--I used to be in the same boat), then get a cellular broadband card from Sprint, Verizon, or Cricket. It may be more expensive than dial-up, but there's a lot less frustration in using the Internet AND in being so far behind with updates...
