Hey,
So,
Is it just me,
Or if you have to reinstall windows xp from the new,
fresh, working, perfect clean os you experienced right after you pulled your new computer out of the factory box? (assuming you still buy prebuilt computers)
Yeah,
Well my moms gateway
(p4 3.02ghz, 514ram..yeah)
its a great system,
but then, we had to reinstall xp.
The problems began..............................................
First off,
The screen resolution somehow went wacko after it was left on overnight when we left...............
Then,
Whenever you would close a program that takes up the full screen,
The start menu and all the icons would disappear, and would only go back after a restart,
And once we hunted down the lan driver for the thrasher motherboard,
Oh, the spyware. spyware spyware spyware SPYWARE!!!! It was SO annoying,
pop ups that take up the full screen,
pop ups that start downloading stuff,
Porn pop ups,
talking pop ups,
It really got old.
We downloaded spyware removers,
windows defender,
a squared,
and everything,
Nothing helped.
But the worst part,
It seemed like every time i used it,
something ends up not working,
and its all mostly related to the internet,
it not the internet,
the operating system.
Its really getting old,
and its making me wish i never had to reinstall xp,
and making me wish i never accidentally unplugged the computer after a virus scan while i was vacuuming..............-kicks self-
And whenever i turned the pc on i got this "error rundll is executable" i had no idea what that means.........but its getting old,
And my mom is pissed because it seems like whenever use it,
something goes not working,
i mean god,
all i do is use limewire!
something i downloaded probably is messed up.....but i doubt it.
But heres my question,
Would it be better if i just went back to windows 2000?
I dont know why it would be better ive just heard that 2000 is the most solid dependable version of windows (well, as dependable as windows can get)
and xp seems a little buggy........
Oh yeah,
And ill be sure to do a dual boot with ubuntu so that i can use limewire without having to deal with the bitch fits and guilt trips............................................................................
So what do you think,
Try to work with xp,
Or will 2000 at least be a little better?
Tanner.
