Wink 2K service pack 3 @$%!!!

[electroman]

First Post :

At about 98% of completing the installation of SP3, it froze. My only option was to reset. After Logo i get BSOD with some stupid excuse for an error report. about a complete page long. I'm assuming the SP3 install buggered everything (dlls,reg,etc) so I'm re-installing win2k.

I currently have Linux Mandrake and Win2k running on the same computer, but I use Win2k more so because I'm still trying very hard to get a grasp of Linux.
I still remember the good ol' DOS days...and when Apps and Games started coming out with the Windows Stickers on the boxes. I told my friend, "This is the end of DOS as we know it."
He didn't believe me.

Looks like one we should add to the MES FAQ (which isn't online yet).

which MES FAQ are you talking about? the one just above here?

n/m i read some posts. You know, If you didn't give a shit about my problems you can always 'not post a reply'. That way I don't have to read your spam.

I guess you don't have a sense of humor, could be rough around here without one of those....

[voidmain]

I'm not a mod, and I don't have anything against electroman.  Just trying to interject a little humor at the expense of Windows, but it obviously didn't work and he didn't ask for any help so electroman is right, I shouldn't have dribbled.

First of all, stop being a fucking moron.

Second of all, where do you see anything stating this site is your personal support monkey?  

Third of all, there are only a few people who post here and some of them are *very* helpful.  

Fourth of all, some of those people need to sleep once in a while and there may not have been anyone around to read your post, have a little fucking patience.  

Fifth of all, I would have helped you immediately with your problem if I hadn't went out to run a few errands for a few hours right after my last post, before your plea for help.

Sixth of all, you were the first one to throw a flame, I was just trying to interject some humor that obviously didn't work.

Seventh of all, you ain't getting any help from me now so fuck off.

dude, lighten up.

Electroman, the people here are torn between two worlds. Helping people cope with little wind0ze things day to day, and not helping people get heavy tech support, and helping with anything wind0ze related, feelings that install bullshit IS a day to day issue. There are many people here that fall into the latter category.

Now if these forums were only for dissing MS, Wind0ze, and Billy, then why say this:  

quote:How to turn off those stupid wizards; how to change the Windows interface;

. Sounds technical and "coping with wind0ze" to me. However day to day bullshit that cripples your system IS coping with wind0ze...

Still, my views will get plenty of dissing. So the best thing is to smile and just ignore those who won't help you. I must digress that you DON'T invalidate people who ask for wind0ze help on these forums(by making a FAQ question forbidding it). It's not like it's super common, far more shitshooting then "help me" posts exsist here. It's freespeech in a way, and anyone who posts such a question should be ready for flak, but should also be able to encounter some kindred souls...

Ok I suppose you could make a FAQ question saying asking for wind0ze help is not outlawed, but you'll  recieve alot of grumbles, so beforewarned.  

[TheQuirk]

you're missing the point here. He's talking as if we're suposed to give him tech support -- as if we're *required* to. What void main (and others) do here daily is basiclly charity. Because of this, this moron has no grouds to say "Interesting how i got a faster response (flame) to this windows Topic than the Linux topic i posted. Seesh, I havent even got 1 reply yet. I see what this board is about. I'm outa here."

And do you really think that anyone would want to help an indevidual that would say a thing such as this:
"which MES FAQ are you talking about? the one just above here? n/m i read some posts. You know, If you didn't give a shit about my problems you can always 'not post a reply'. That way I don't have to read your spam."

[lazygamer]

Quirk, you are 100% correct man. I kinda skimmed over that part, sounds pretty rude. This is definitly a charity, and if he thinks he's getting treated like shit, some wind0ze communities would treat him much worse.  

So just bypass my comment everyone, because the MES was in the right today.
