Money is not the issue! I don't want to change my laptop yet and by doing what you suggest will be the easy way out!
It was working and now it is not, there has to be a fix for this.
I hate Vista, and I am still not looking to change my laptop that works perfectly fine, except for this issue just to jump on a Windows 7 OS that can actually bring me lots of other issues on what I do.
