Windows XP problems

[Smoked1]

Hi all,
For about two days now I have been trying to get Windows XP to work on my system. My hardware does not seem to be compatable with it. My cordless mouse conflicted with my NIC and froze the O.S. Then my SCSI adapter foze the system or would not install properly. No XP drivers for it yet. Has anyone else had problems with XP or did I piss off a gypsy somewhere. It was my Windows ME dejavue.

Heheh did you try calling microsoft tech support (i know no one does that but they might have something!) unless ur using a pirated version SPAM;D

[Smoked1]

Yeah I called them and they were not much help. I did have a pirated version but I talked my way arround it for two calls. They did get the mouse problem fixed but when the SCSI controller would not work I just said screw this. Windows 98 has no problems. I'll wait for a few more driver releases before doing that again. Stupid MS

ya friggen micro$haft (hmm i like 'em... what a hippocrite i am(and don't mind my spelling))

[Smoked1]

They need to come out with a unix flavor that is more user friendly for end users. Put it out on the maeket and mess with Microsoft. The other ones like RedHat are to hard for regular people to understand.

[XDiGiTaLX]

Lets get one thing straight. U cant mess with microsoft. They have a frigen monopaly!

[aoC_PRoZaK]

you cant mess with ms, but with their OS. piracing ms products is a good way ;D. they suck, so the best thing is to make the best outa it.mod it. tweak it to desaster ;D. i personally prefer 98se cuz it can be tweaked very well.

[XDiGiTaLX]

LOL, personally i think ppl hating on MS because they got all the power. they'r products are GRRREEEEAT (tony tha tiger). Yes Pirate Pirate! (i hope we don't get shutdown for that)

[aoC_PRoZaK]

it think the more technical a product gets, the more buggy it gets.win 3.11 crashed very seldom and win1.0 never crashed i heard. microsoft makes great products (like intel and amd and via and many more) but because of extreme competition on the current market, they gotta sell that shit before it´s well-debugged.shame on the market shame on us too. and shame shame ´shame on those idiots buying stuff without even knowing SPAMwhat a cpu does and a harddisk is.

[smoked1]

I think that MicroSucks is in a position where they should be able to take advantage of thier market position and release much more stable and compatible operating systems. It seems to me that they just wanted Xp to be out for X-mas no matter what issues it had. he way they see it. Instead of working out the kinks on more beta testing they are using consumers for this. I hate it whan they do that.

[aoC_PRoZaK]

ya damn right bro

[XDiGiTaLX]

My micro$haft stuff NEVER crash! SPAM;D i'm happy as a pimp

[aoC_PRoZaK]

you´re a liar or you simply do not use ya box ;)

[VoidedWarranty]

Yeah no kidding if your MS isn't crashing theres 2 things that it is, becaue even bill gates admitts to his computer crashing.

1.) You don't use your box at all and you have a screenshot of the desktop taped to the screen!

or 2.) Your running almost any version of linux with a windows skin!!!

[XDiGiTaLX]

Oh? i dont use my box eh? Ok... bro add me on icq or msn... You'll see how many hours i'm on the computer! probably 20 hours a day! i arrive from sku then sleep at like 2 and then on the weekend i don't even eat breakfast :) i stay on it til like SPAM 2-3 am... (yes i have a social life! :))

and my printer isn't good enough for me to beleive that its a screenshot as a real picture... Its only an Epson Stylus 660

[Smoked1]

Trust me. Your shit crashes.

[XDiGiTaLX]

How can i trust u if you haven't even seen my computer? ;)

[Smoked1]

I am the all mighty Smoked1. I see all and know all. I see.. Oh there it is. A "Blue Screen"... Of DEATH! (your system is waiting for the close dialog box to appear( very interesting.

Smoked1,

Did you run the MS XP Compatibility Test before loading XP ? MS sure did push that test. All device vendors haven't yet came out with XP drivers and some may not, as they are under no obligation to do. So that just means more upgrades all the way around. Just a thought.

[terrorbyte]

well, just checking out different forums and for my first visit, I have to say if this is it, I'm not impressed, couldnt see to much in the way of answers, just stupid childish comments, and, you guessed it, SPAMI'm out of here. >>>>>

As for the thread starter, sounds like you installed xp over the top of ME, a clean install is the only way with xp to avoid the problems. I have installed XP 34 times now and have not had 1 major problem.

bye....whoever you are..
