Every OS Sucks

[gemfyre]

Hrm

Then Kernal32 decided to crash for no reason whatsoever.

Tell me, what good is a computer that will just crash at random intervals and give you NO indication of when that will be?

It's not like I muck around with it's internal working or anything, I just do stuff any other normal computer user does, I install stuff and try to use it. I don't know why I am plagued by constant crashes and that lovely "not enough memory" error when I have shitloads of the stuff.

Somebody invent a reliable OS for me please, one that the few games I like will play on properly.

Look into the Unix operating systems. Most of them you can download extra stuff so you can run certain games. On the plus side they aren't affect by over 90% of virus'.
And be grateful because at least you computer runs. Mine doesn't at the moment and it's had re-installs five times in this year alone so there are people out there who are having more computer problems than you.
Also if the computer really shits you off STOP USING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The whole reason i haven't gone to a *nix os is that most of my games are doubtful at best. I'm still considering running it as a secondary os, but when i have uptimes of over 2 weeks with xp, the system needs rebooting for reasons other than the os is fucked up.
BJ wont use *nix cos its her parents puter, and they dunno squat about computers, or very little anyway. that and BJ's games that she runs (which i believe was part of the complaint) dont like running under xp. most specifically, RCT just doenst like it.

I'm still considering the need of a reformat of her OS drive and upgrading the OS at the same time. not sure how nice and easy that will be though.

And as for the virus thingy, Norton, like all anti-virus programs, doesnt pick up every virus because there are new ones all the time, and you haveto keep updating the virus database that it uses to look for them. The free one you suggest is a good anti-virus, however do you have any suggestion for a better defrag program than the one thats part of norton? cos, winblows defrag sucks to the point that it never finishes. ever. and nortons one usually does a good job of the defrag, as far as i've noticed.

Heard of dual booting?

so RCT doesn't like XP... Wonder if that's why my copy is having a shit... Back to win 98 then I guess

I have never had a problem with windows defrag. Didn't like the way 2000 did it but otherwise never a hassle.

Perhaps you or her should have a look at Mandrake 9, just been released. It's supposed to be easier to install and use than any M$ version of Windows. I've had a look at RH8.0 and that's pretty impressive. I can send you the MD9 CDs if you want :P
