| Windows XP - a_greatchic (27/07/2002 9:32:38 PM) |
| I have been using XP since about october 2001.. I thought it was da shit, but lately i have been freezing up everytime i have used photoshop, flash, even dreamweaver likes to shut down and freeze my computer. It seems i have massive hardware conflicts with XP, and USB ports. I seems that my mouse - which is a "Microsoft Optical Intellimouse" yeh you got it, a microsoft product, another product that loves to takeover your system... being due to it being a USB connecting mouse - it likes to interfere with everything, and it is driving me nuts! Of course the sad part is i cannot go back to the ordinary mouse, so i battle on with unconclusive answers to how i go about fixing this. I have unistalled the mouse software, dis connected the webcams and still i seem to get shafted everytime i use certain programs.. Dont bother with web cams, you will only have to re-boot until you can take it no more.. i find myself racing against time - for freezing computers dont warn you, and i have been silly enough to forget to save my work! yeh you got it i am the repeatist, you think i'd be good at what i do by now lol.. but hey we cant have it all. I must re-try reformatting again - it was only 2 weeks ago i did it - but i have declared was on my hardware! Or else Win 2000 is goin back on... in which was running perfectly when i decided i must have XP. Lesson: don't fix what aint broke! |

| Halleluiah Baby, I get this a lot at work; dealing with XP in a network environment running Novell, Unix, NT and Active Dir is like being strung from your balls while a fat man in a cat suit prods at your neithers with a hot poker that bares a striking resemblance to Bill Gates flying windows logo. Now what�s worse then XP is XP home edition! It is so shit that when people come to me with new PC�s infected with XP Home to set up I usually scream and run for the nearest abandoned roof top to throw myself off. How could they have got it so so wrong? Some people tell me that it�s good to stay on the breach behind cutting edge technology as it�s safer there and if you find something you can�t deal with more then likely some poor misfortunate fuck has been there and spilt the blood so you can coast through on the experience of others� That�s true in this case! When Win2K came out I was on the bandwagon from day one� sure there where bugs, even blatant security oversights but the first thing you noticed was it was a step in the right direction, Microsoft finally had an OS that could compete with the likes of Red Hat, maybe not in the secure server arena but it was a desk top that would not fall over every time the wind changed. All in all and most importantly it was better then 98SE and that�s where I think XP has failed. It�s not a step forward it�s a jump back so far that for all general computing tasks win98se is a safer, faster, more fixable, flexible infestation of puss fuct rat Microsoft crap then the shit they scraped out of whatever orifice and stamped with the brand XP. Ahhhg OK, I�m better now. I found my medication ;P
