hugmeI now have to reboot this crap every day for one reason or another, it's not a hardware problem, windows 98 worked fine on this computer. right now I can't do anything because it highlights instead of writes when I need it to. it's like the shift and control keys are permently on.
There are some stupid icons that show up when I put my mouse over a picture so you can't see the top left corner of the image.
if I try to view a movie it brings up quicktime and I can't find a simple way to change that in IE, it's no longer in the preferences menu. unfortunaly because of my job searches many pages REQUIRE that I use IE to fill out there job form.
I did an install, upgraded it with all the latest patches. now installed are: VNC server, netscape, maya, nero cd burning software and 3D studio max... nothing else is installed!!
anyone who uses Windows as their main OS is stupid, I am sorry but you are... if you say it's because you don't know how to use anything else you are even dumber FreeBSD is 1000x easier than this shit, it doesn't crash, it does what it's supposed to do. grrrrr.....

Date: 2002-06-29 09:24 am (UTC)I am using XP right now. Works fine for me and has been for a little while now. 2000 wasnt all that horrible when I used it. But that has been said already.
I dont know any other systems because I dont care to at the moment. So far, Windows has done pretty much everything I have needed it to. I like the idea of dont mess with something that works. Yes I realize that is kind of a "sticking my head in a hole" theory, but that is fine with me.
My 2 bits worth.

Date: 2002-06-29 02:04 pm (UTC)and the bit about emulating windows, it's the same... you don't have to LEARN anything.
but it DOEN'T work, not a single one of you have told me how to get rid of that stupid "print-copy-fax-email" icon that pops up when you mouse over an image. or how to get rid of the help bubble from the windows update icon that jumps at me randomly...
you say you don't want to learn something new, but aparantly you dont' know how to use windows either... so what is your excuse for paying for an operating system again?

Date: 2002-06-29 04:36 pm (UTC)Besides...there are plenty of places out there to find out how to turn that stuff off.
I'm not sure I know what "print-copy-fax-email" icon you are talking about. As for the help bubbles, yeah, you can turn that off. Don't recall off the top of my head, but I'll look...

Date: 2002-06-30 12:23 am (UTC)I see where you are complaining about things, but never saw where you were asking for help.
*shrug*
you are correct that we could get an emulator of windows or whatever os we want, but then what would be the purpose of that over having windows itself?
I'm guessing that you are going to say stability and price. Well, I havent had hardly any problems at all with too many of windows os's. granted I dont go in and tinker and tweak things inside, so maybe I wont have these problems. Or maybe I have been pretty damn lucky so far. *shrug* who knows. But for price, well, who pays for the OS these days?
I deffinatly wouldnt want an emulator for the main reason of if something goes wrong, I woudlnt knwo if its the emulator or what. And then I wouldnt have a clue how to fix it. I am fairly familar with most windows OS's. I have read ahead and see that you do have the things you were complaining about resolved. That is something I could fin on Windows, but since Windows is pretty much the only thing I know, well, I'd be dead in the water on another type of OS. I'd have to rely on tech support or support from you guys that DO know the systems. Why waste your time as well as mine?
Besides, for what all I do, I'm content with Windows, and you are content with everything else. Its all a matter of fitting the square peg into the square hole and star peg into the star hole. I just dont see how my using something that works fine for me makes me stupid.
