Hi all,
Is it just my PC or have I found a serious bug in WinXP Home? -
(This only works if Windows is installed on C:\ and it is the Home Edition)
Load Notepad
save a BLANK file as "C:\Program" - incude quotes (so there is no file extension and it saves in root C:\)
Try to load an EXE e.g. Winamp
Whenever I do that I get "<programname> is not a valid Win32 application". As soon as I delete the file, the error goes :eek: :eek:
THAT is why im switching to linux
Win XP = Bug
THIS IS exactly why people should not use xp
Out of everyone who's replied, has anyone actually TRIED what I said to see if the bug really exists, or is it my computer screwing up? :rolleyes:
winxp is buggy, i had it and every day i'd get many many errors, win2k won't do those things.
Well I dont know what you all are talking about but I dotn see that happening... and XP does not give me all those errors... so :p

So your saying if you save a notepad file named "C:\Program" and pull up any .exe file you get that error? That's seems kind of weird. :p Im dreading upgrading to XP especially since i am attempting to change my hd, processor and motherboard. WPA will probably have somthing to say about it. :rolleyes:
probably best to change the hardware then upgrade ;)Quote:

I think under WPA you're allowed 3 major hardware changes a month or something anyway so you should be cool
i think tis upto 55 hardware changes. somethign liek that
The other way around would be suicide. ;)Quote:

Windows XP IS a serious bug.

muwahahahahaha :D
It reprogrammed the data controls in every one of my projects. It turned them into picture boxes.
It turned my boyfriend's mp3s into picture files.
It's a real pain in the arse
XP has NEVER given me any trouble, and since i got it (a little before christmas) it has crashed on me ONCE
I guess this goes along with your testimony of all MS products being crash prone :D :D :DQuote:

i was :)
I had it installed for 2 hours. Then I formatted again. I didnt like the way it imbicilized everything. The wizard for finding file? that is simple on its own! you dont need a dog barking to help you :mad:
Ya but leadtek isn't your friend so AHAHAHAHHAHAHAQuote:

Wait...Leadtek isn't friendly to me either ...but it's not friendly to
my wallet :(
so take the time to de-imbilicize it...lots better than reformatting again.Quote:
