Hi - I am a poor soul who bought a computer from a techie. 1 year later Microsoft shut me down without a warning due to a "registration" problem. How was I to know the tech bootlegged my OS? Well it is what it is. So now hating Microsoft, I went online and found this great free OS.

Loaded it and....absolutely nothing happened. I get my Vista screen from which I am locked out. Please help me so I can retrieve my real estate photos and rent my property! And if you could, talk slowly because I am computer challenged. Thanks!
