Windows Vista Information | Password Information

Microsoft Windows Vista Information

As with any new operating system, there are still some compatibility issues with Windows Vista. We are not as yet converting our VWC systems to Windows Vista.  The majority of new computers purchased will come with Windows Vista pre installed. You will be able to connect to the VWC network for Internet access and access your network (H:) drive with Windows Vista. However, if you wish to have Windows XP as your operating system you can do so by purchasing a Dell computer that can be ordered on our recommend site. These computers come preloaded with Windows XP and our Symantec Antivirus.

Computer Accounts Password Information

Students, faculty and staff are assigned password protected computer accounts while they are associated with Virginia Wesleyan College. These passwords are account specific, give access to personal information and should be safeguarded. For security purposes, the initially assigned passwords must be changed.
