.. I loved the Geek Soap Opera thread, hope it continues meanwhile back at the ranch, my very own computer soap opera continues....
I installed I.E. 6... (BAD very BAD) funny thing it has a real hard time with Hotmail and loves to crash there... :) but it also likes to crash on forms generally...! (it is very loose) :) so one day Outlook Express 6 just stops working... sure whatever! so I decide to uninstall IE6 and "revert to previous configuration" or whatever the term is.... but the uninstall program crashes... it won't work! sigh... i try something with the registry suggested on MS site to fix Outlook express and it doesn't work... but now neither does regular Outlook damn damn.... but ALL of this is incidental really and can be fixed I suppose, however the really annoying thing is... IIS 5.0 said it installed from the Windows 2000 Professional CD, but it won't run. I have icons for both Personal Web Manager and Internet Services Manager, but PWM just gives me a brief hourglass, and ISM is looking for dlls that aren't registered. It says "no ISM service configuration modules have been installed" ..could this all be the aftermath of nimda.. ? (yes i managed to get it by leaving my machine hooked up to the net while upgrading from 98 to 2000, which disabled my firewall and antivirus software). I did do a thorough clean and patch I am trying to decide now whether it would be easier to scrape the whole thing and reinstall Windows or learn Linux and Apache I am not a MS-basher and as a rule try not to whine about them, but I had this moment sometime after i downloaded Eudora and started using it for my mail when i began to wonder.....! thanks for listening.... patrick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your ad could be here.
