noob:
My network card wont work under xp, as normal, and the help offered this advice.

 

[list=1]
[*]Click Start, click Turn off computer, and then click Turn  Off.

If you are using Windows XP Professional Edition, click  Start, click Turn off computer, select Restart from the  drop-down list, and then click OK.
[*]Detach your device from your computer.

If your device is a card, pull  it out of its slot. If the device is attached with a cable, unplug the cable  from the computer.
[*]Reattach your device. Make sure that all cards are tightly seated in their  slots, and that all cables are plugged in securely.
[*]Start your computer again, and check whether the device is working  correctly.
[/list]
  Does detaching and then reattaching the device solve the  problem?


 Note the restart then pc, then remove the PCI card, which could result in shorts on the mainboard and costly hardware and data loss.

The stupidity of Microsoft never surprises me. :D

mobrien_12:
wow...a total newb might actually do that and kill his/her computer.

MS could get sued over that one... no wait their EULA lets them sell defective **** all the time and not take responsability for it.

noob:

Jenda:
If you sued them for that and won, I would rever you as a god.
