last night i was trying to download something and it said i needed windows service pack 2 or something. i went to teh website and downloaded it and opened it up. it took like 2 hours to get like halfway so i put it in the lower corner of my screen. then i went on aim and foldershare and probably newschoolers. i was talking on aim to ad1080 about html and it froze. i restarted it about 10 minutes later and it didnt boot up. a blue screen came up talking about removing my harddrive and stuff. now i have to use this other notinmyroom computer which is used by everyone in my family. i hate you microsoft.

It's not Microsoft's fault, you have to actually read the instructions before doing that. ie; run an updated spyware and virus scan before installing, close all programs, etc. etc.

It's your fault for doing it, live with it.

Yes yes yes, it's all your fault for fucking up and not running a super up to date anti virus, spyware remover(many of which install their own spyware...oops!), and fucking up the instructions.

Let's not blame Microsoft for making shitty software.

yea, and most programs dont require you to actually shut everything down. they dont blow your computer the fuck up.

anyways, do you guys know of a good, cheap computer i can find at like bestbuy? im stayin away from getways (expensive and our last one broke) dells (my friends all broke and burned to the ground in a heap of ashes) and nameless ones. we have 2 emachines that are cheap and ok, or should i spring for a more expense hp?

It's not that microsoft sucks, it's that 90% of you people buy gateways and dells and stuff which are known to have problems because of their shitty ass software BS. Get a comp built for you or build it yourself, then, learn how to use the thing, read instructions, stop downloading porn dialers and your comp will work fine.

I've had mine for like 4 months now and haven't had any problems, running Windows XP Pro SP2.

the computer i just had i built myself. it lasted about 3 years and i had to replace hte hdd once. my software only includes like photoshop, mxflash, dreamweaver, aim, googletoolbar, and i think thats it. i have no porn on that computer, only on.....nevermind that. i guess its that i had too many programs on it, but still. that shouldnt blow it the hell up. im gonna buy a real computer (not a custom) because my parents will feel better about warrantees and shit. im only paying half anyways.


lighting farts- yea i know your brother, chris and dan brown. i saw i kid at school with a pollard shirt on and dan said it was chris's brother, you. i wanted that shirt but got the mikenick one instead.

i had a hard drive error message too but that wasnt for like 2 weeks after I installed it. I just put a boot disk in and it started up fine. My hard drive is too screwed up to defrag now too.

When I tried installing it on our other computer it couldn't finish the installation because it was missing a file or something.

messed up my comp too. i turned the firewall off and still couldnt get on the internet. and i have a gateway, and besides microsoft issues like i just mentioned, i have had no problems related to the computer itself. studio crashes sometimes, but its a real buggy program apparently

Hey stevexs2, not everyone is an independent web designer who spends his/her life working on computers. Some of us just want our shit to work with a minimum amount of hassle/work on our parts.

To see how stupid what you suggested is, replace the word 'computer' with 'car'.

if you have windows rollback on, and you try to run virus scan software to get rid of a virus, often the rollback will keep the virus. that gets to be a huge pain if you dont know why it keeps coming back
