Technology: Is it REALLY useful?

Well, my old laptop crapped out on me completely. It still runs, but only well enough for the occasional game of solitaire. Thing is, it's barely a year and a half old, and no, I did not abuse it. So, I got a new laptop. Acer Aspire 5920, 2GB ram, 200GB HD, basically just a really good laptop...

...But it has Vista. And it refuses to cooperate with me. I've tried and tried to get YIM, MSN Messenger, Photoshop, and some other programs I'm use to using on here, but NOTHING WORKS! And until Photoshop works, there won't be any more art submissions, I'm afraid. But I should back up.

1. My Wacom Grafire tablet's pen stopped working. Took it back to Circuit City and got a newer Wacom Bamboo tablet. Downloaded tablet to my old laptop. Everything works fine.

2. Next day, I try to work in Photoshop. The computer CRASHES. Well, I let a friend look at it, and he got it up and running again, albeit barely.

3. I buy a new laptop at Circuit City the next day. Seems to work fine until I try downloading the programs I actually NEED. Some stupid message from Internet Explorer saying that it has stopped responding and is restarting. *groans*

Can anyone give me one valid reason NOT to send this thing flying out the window? Because it's starting to look VERY tempting...
