I found a good cure for XP. Its called ME. XP was stuck in this continuous loop. First, I tried the repair stratagem. No luck. FDISk worked better than repair. It cured the multiple operating systems both trying to load up together. It also helped when I found out that one of the cd roms was actually a DVD rom so it didn't recognize the cd in the dvd rom even though in BIOS I went to the boot manager and had the cd rom to load before the hard drive. The lady I was fixing the computer for asked if I had a good antivirus for her computer. I told her yes I call it Linux. Luckily I had the motherboard drivers on a cd of an identical system. She was curious of what motherboard drivers were. Her husband made me dinner, Fixed my van visors, Made a plate dinner for me to take home to my boarder and the wife gave me 20 dollars.

Windows ME? Cure? I'm confused, Windows ME was awful, even compared to Vista it was awful...I think Windows ME is the only OS that Vista could really beat.

I put XP back in the computer. The only reason I used the ME was that it had FDISK on it. My favorite thing on ME was only Spider Solitaire. I thought they should have left the FDISK capability on XP. Her computer just had so much loaded on it plus all those anomalies like viruses. XP kept saying it was doing a clean install but FDISK is a cleaner install in my opinion. It got rid of the fast continuous loop.

I thought XP was a excellent program and I don't remember having any problems with it.I remember getting some driver conflicts from older software but it was usually a direct X problem with a older version trying to take the place of the newer version.XP was pretty constant.If you did have a problem it was most likely due to something you installed recently.You could just go back and uninstall it.

I think Vista sucks beyond belief.Windows 95 is better than Vista.


Anti virus programs?I have never had them and never will.I have never had a virus or a computer crash.All they do is screw up your computer.I had a few friends who wrote programs for Microsoft and they told me the virus is usually in the Anti virus program.It is released when it expires which explains why people always say they get their computer loaded with viruses when their anti virus program expires.

If a page takes any more than a few seconds to load I hit the back button.If it locks up I start the task manager and end the program manually.I also delete temp files,error reports,and cookies on a weekly basis,and wipe out the hard drive every 3 or 4 months or so.I don't download anything except from Microsoft.My computer runs smooth as silk.

My old supervisor was sold on DOS and it was a major transition for him to leave to the upgrade of Windows 95. He would always have DOS load before Windows. When Bill Gates said that DOS was dead he thought it was the funniest thing Bill Gates ever said. He made me a wonderful floppy start up disk for Windows 95 that would load the generic cd rom drivers straight from DOS. I still have the complete Windows 95 edition all on floppies. Thanks to Bill Gates Windows ME is abandoned ware. I have DOS 7.0 with a GUI interface and it even has the pretty Logo when it starts up. And that is thanks to open source work that Linux is doing with what Microsoft abandoned. One man's trash is another man's treasure.

I can't wait till Microsoft abandons Windows 2000. Come on Bill Gates it dead; Let us resurrect it.
