Windows only IT departments don't know shit
DJ:
Kind of related, I was helping a buddy reinstall (lol) Windows on his pc and it wouldn't install properly "kernel32.dll (or whatever it is) general protection fault" and it would not finish. After remembering a coworker mention bios antivirus caused a similar problem for him, I called our Hurt, I mean Help Desk and asked them if turning it off was something specific and common or if it varied, and the girl, who I have helped with applications (Word, Frontpage, etc) in our labs where I work, and can't believe works at the help desk, didn't know anything about bios antivirus protection and no one including the supervisor on shift at the time did either. I figured it out but I just laughed that they had never even heard of it, and of course the point is they told me "We recommend doing a reinstall" *sigh*
kinda lengthy but who cares

people who work on a helpdesk need help.
maybe that's why they take the job in the first place?
