For All Frustrated Microsoft Vista Users
Blip TV ^

Posted on 03/02/2008 1:22:47 PM PST by BulletBobCo

Just spent my weekend dealing with new computers for the kids that have Vista installed. I found this short video that I think that all of you who have experienced Vista will appreciate.

My wife has Vista and it seems ok. However, I still can’t figure out how to network. She can see my XP computer but I can’t see hers.

Better idea - Do what I did after a couple of weeks horsing around trying to get Vista to work --

"Upgrade" to XP!

I have Vista and when I turn on my computer I have to X out about 4 program errors that automatically come up. It sucks.

USER : Did you hear that when you play a Windows Vista Install CD backwards, it reveals a Satanic message?
ME : You think that's scary? When you play a Windows Vista Install CD forward, it installs Windows Vista.

Evidently my windows media center thinks i’m pirating dvds, as it WILL NOT PLAY THEM. I’m so sick of the “anti piracy” nonsense. Oh well...

I bought a Mac a year ago after using PC’s since about 1989. Three weeks after my purchase I came to the conclusion that I’ll never own a PC again.

That was great. Thanks for the laugh. Am holding off on buying my next PC until SP 99 for VISTA is functional. Till then I’ll stay with DOS 3.3. :)

Yep...Macintosh — it just works. And runs forever without crashing.

Ditto. My Windows Media Player won't play any music I bought and downloaded and won't play any music I ripped from my own CDs. Any alternative software suggestions, anyone? Real Player?
