If you have an install disc you can strip all the extras you dont need from it using v-lite.
Now that is what I'd like to do but I am not smart enough to intall it myself. They put so much "junk" in them.

I like all the comments made here about Win. 7 and see that is the way to go.

DJFyrewolf36, I have a 64 bit system so your comment really caught my eye.

Thanks for the heads up folks.
