One easy thing to do is set up a new partition and install XP or Win2000 on
it. Run it as a dual boot so you can go back and forth between the beloved
Vista and the other (personally I prefer Win2000). Get your Tradestation
running on the new partition, and any other programs you use...you'll be
back on the air and then you can diddle around with Vista all you like. I
have a dual boot (or triple) setup on all my computers, it's very useful for
those moments when part of your hard drive(or profile) gets corrupted and
you need access to the computer.
