Yip. I liked the youtube ones for Linux though, where Linux is the hot lassie.... :)

I am looking forward to playing with Server 2008. It looks like it'll be good.

I can't even install SP1. It hangs when updating after the restart.

Well, it doesn't finish updating anyway, and I've left it for a couple of hours.

Pssst. It is a secret but Robdog is going to hold a "How to install Vista SP1 and not get a Blue Screen or Death", the cost will be nominal. Additionally, he will come to your house and berate you and tell you what you are doing wrong as long as you pay his Travel, Lodging and entertainment expenses (which I am told will be quite sizable). Remember it is a secret don't tell anyone!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :bigyello: :bigyello: ;) ;) ;)

BSODs get bad press. They should display and elephant flapping its ears instead and play: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhEXY...eature=related

I think the Vonage V Phone is the culprit. Ever since I plugged it into that since I have been having issues. Dumb Vonage programmers and their dumb work arounds.

But they (Vonage) keep blaming Microsoft for their inability to get the V Phone to work.

Welcome to VBForums.
This is not really the place for a technical question, you should try posting in the VB6 section if you havent already.

Re: Vista is Evil!!!!!

i've lost count of the bsods vista has given me in the last 2 days. I've been trying to get a software mpeg encoder to work. I know it's compatible because it worked before. but thanks to a sever trojan attack forcing a reinstall... (adaware removed it but it would bsod upon boot from then on, even in safe mode)

And speaking of vista is evil, since when is it not possible to boot from a dynamic partition if it is the boot partition? I did this quite easily in xp but as soon as that drive was made dynamic in vista, it no longer was able to boot.

I like HP, ive had a laptop for 2 years, no problems...

I've never got a HP laptop, and if my HP printer is anything to go by, I'll avoid them like the plague.

You can't judge them by their printers. Their printers are horribly designed and much more complicated than they need to be (as well as microscopic cartridges). My current replacement motherboard i am using at this time (thanks to a bad bios flash) is an HP, and it's running as fast as the ASUS board i was using did.

It is unfortunate that this happened to HP. I remember growing up we had a HP LazerJet 5P. One of the best printers for it's time...

laser jets are good. my dad's got one. I use a brother though. It's black and white but we print a lof of black and white. It was a display model all-in-one. Only paid $60.

OK, but I usually like to build my own PC, just because it's so damn frustrating... :D

a local shop has a machine that can fix it, but it's socket am2, and i am frankly ready to start saving for another upgrade anyway. I just wonder how over-the-top i can do it, and still not be considered crazy. Thinking of 8 cores...

Re: Vista is Evil!!!!!

HP printer drivers are awful.
-They take 30-60 minutes to install
-Want to install all sorts of really bad, cheap video & editing software.
-Once installed (even barebone installation), computer boot time is increased by 30-60 seconds.

Alot of manufacturers do that nowadays. EG: My MSI ATI 2600 XT. You can't install drivers without installing Catalyst Control Center. Strangely enough, this requires .NET Framework (v. 1 I think...) which is not installed. Now, every time my machine boots up, it hangs for around 20 seconds before telling me that I need a .NET Framework. :rolleyes: I'm just too lazy to uninstall the app. :afrog:

if you download the drivers from the ati (now amd) website, the driver and control center are separate downloads.

Real programmers should have .net 1.1 and .net 3.5 sp1 installed. (.net 3.5 includes .net 2 and .net 3)
