There's a workaround for the clean install problem.

Kathy, I agree with the go with Toshiba assessment, but I personally would be hesitant to buy a refurbished laptop (which are more likely to have problems than refurbished desktops since the former tend to get beat up quite a bit in use) from an on-line only seller. But that could just be me being paranoid.
Is there a return policy or warranty information anywhere on the seller's website?

There's actually not a bad one:
REFUNDS-30 DAYS; WARRANTY-90 DAYS
We allow returns for refunds 30 days from the purchase date. We will issue an RMA for all defective items and items for refunds. This process takes 24-48 hours to complete. The item will then need to be shipped back to us or to the manufacturer repair facility, at customers expense. We will cover all return shipping back for any defective items that are repaired or exchanged. This warranty is good for 90 days on most products. Please email any specific questions before ordering.

Yeah, they did.Bastards. Then I see no redeeming feature for the new way of doing things. It just bugs.

That's not too bad, though new laptops ususally come with 1-year limited warranties these days.
I understand the not wanting to deal with Vista, though.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I have an Access query question I am hoping someone can answer-
I am trying to do a query by form. I am following the Instructions here [link] which seem to indicate that the Criteria should be:Forms![frmClassPayqry]![Year] Or Forms![frmClassPayqry]![Year] Is Null
When I tab away from that field in the query in design vier, there are extra brackets added around the word form that I did not put is there. (like this [Forms]![frmClassPayqry]![Year] Or [Forms]![frmClassPayqry]![Year] Is Null) I am using the builder, so I am pretty sure I am typing it right.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The query designer will do that, but that's fine.

Thanks Tommy. I have been trying to fix this for hours, so I feel a little DUM!

OK-
So when I enter the data I am searching for on the form, a) I am coming up with an empty qury no matter what I type, and b) when I open up the query in design view to check it, I have the [Forms]![frmClassPayqry]![NSG Number] Or [Forms]![frmClassPayqry]![NSG Number] under Criteria about 10 times per field, instead of the one I types, and It has added [Forms]![frmClassPayqry]![NSG Number] as a "field" in the columns to the right, with a whole bunch of "Is Nulls" in the bottom.
Any ideas?

Hmm... not sure what it's doing.
When you enter the criteria in the criteria field, are you putting it all in one field? and not two (because of the OR)?
(You know how in the query design form, there's multiple lines for criteria - using more than one line results in the query interpreting the two lines as being used together with an OR. But that's not what you want to do in this case - you should just be using the first line of the criteria fields. For example, one field would have this:
[Forms]![frmClassPayqry]![Year] Or [Forms]![frmClassPayqry]![Year] Is Null
in the criteria field on a single line.)
Does that make sense?
