 lol

the best part of millenium running with ie5.5 is the constant "explorer.exe has caused an error in Kernel32.dll and must be shut down"

isn't that great when you're browsing??  

[choasmaster]

yeah, it is, but not if your useing it, i always get a laugh when ie/*it doesn't deserve CAPITALS*/ crashes on my dad. he for some reason thinks its adaquite

[Calum]

why doesn't he just use the latest stable version of mozilla? what a dumbass (sorry if that's offe3nsive, i meant in a totally superficial way...)

I know this wasn't an option but hook him up with
Winblowz NT4.0 Workstation SP6 It's the sam kernel and patchlevel as Win2K, is a smaller install, is *fully* "Configurable" (figure that one out folks), and will run faster than win2k and crash about as much.....

Jesus, that was too much information....especially for a debian geek....*sigh*  :rolleyes:

i use windows ME for my games. It was a rushed stopgap before they dropped dos, they didn't drop dos, they locked it out. But i have managed to get it stable! DOS is easily accessable with a boot disk, and if i wanted i imagine i could add it to my boot menu.
It seems to run all the newest games just dandy, i am a pretty big gamer.
ut it took me a while, lots of registry changes and stuff, because i had to turn off a lot of shit basicly.
I dunno about you but DOS support is pretty important to me, i have many old games.

To the person asking about other spyware keys in the registry.  Basically you should delete *all* the keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.  Any one of them can be used for spying.

[Lloydr]

yea all could be used as spyware but 1 problem with some of micrshit bullshit they do....delete certain keys and poof it's gone lol....i don't feel like spending weeks playing tech support on winblows...specific keys exactly? l8r

[voidmain]

Trust me, delete them all....

[Lloydr]

lol ok,but if i get a phone call sayin winlows died and won't come back, i'm gonna make u run down here to the florida panhandle and fix his system lol...u tested ur methods of wiping out the keys in hkey_local_machine in XPOS? without winblows goin POOF lol lata

[voidmain]

Oh yes, I deleted them all.  Then I installed RedHat and the system has run great ever since. No spying at all.

[choasmaster]

i still say win2k would be the best, its just about xp, without all the "new" lame ass features

[Lloydr]

dude all the system really is gonna be used for is winblows type games and some online, and like some homework i'm guessing lol....i'm setting him up with a dual boot of mandrake or redhat linux along with a winblows that plays the newer games a little better.....i jus need a list of the reg keys that are proved to be phone home....thats it l8r

[Calum]

sorry, but you can't have your cake and eat it i suspect.

If he wants no phoning home, he can use linux all the time. quite frankly, if you deal with hot things, you'll get burned, or whatever that saying is...
