i dont think i have gone longer than 1 month between re-installs i have tried my disk on 3 diff comps, a high priced dell, an alienware and an ams custom and it happens on all 3 machines so i know its not hardware. bout 2 wks ago i had to put in another hd after the os tried to update itself (with it turned off) and completely froze up, so i had to get a new hd to put in so i could get everything off my old one that didnt get saved yet to my external one, yeah thats how bad it is, i have 3 hds now and a dvd burner and i still get caught grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
and this has happened since i first bought xp pro and of course m$ tells me its probably a bad disk but they wont replace it, they try and pan it off on bestbuy to replace but they wont either. So basically im stuck with crap. I tried to sell it on ebay & m$ made ebay remove it because apparently even though i bought the software m$ still ownes the rights to it and im not allowed to sell it. at the samtime i had my copy of access and they removed that as well (even though i bought it on ebay) and now apparently they are so sick of me calling and bitching at them that i cant even access windowsupdate.microsoft.com anymore, so i cant get their damn fix for my comp having the BSOD every 10 friggin minutes with buffer overruns from my cable line. so i know u all hate hearing me bitch about them but can u see why now? i get 20 minutes max between BSOD to work can u imagine how friggin frusterating that is? ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: Dave Watts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 8 Dec 2004 19:08:57 -0500 >> been 2 weeks since my last reinstall of crapXP, so i think >> the next time im just not gunna put xp on it and i will try a >> few diff things. > >How often do you have to reinstall Windows?
