I already know what the problem is. It's a subtle compatibility issue
between EFS and a security product that I have running, and it can only
be corrected by the developer.

Then why blame it on Windows XP? It sounds like your security product
is the problem. Was it written for Windows XP or another Windows
version. If it was written for another version of Windows there is a
work around that's about 90% effective. I've used it a lot in the
past.

Sounds like a personal problem. I've been running XP for well over a
year now, and have had maybe three or four system hangs including one
BSOD early on, and only one of which is post-SP2 (and that was my own
fault). But then, I actually know what I'm doing...which is more than
I can say for anyone who has managed to make his system crash multiple
times in one week. There's no substitute for careful skill and proper
system setup. It isn't *that* damn hard. On the other hand, the idea
that a consumer OS takes as much expertise and trouble to install and
maintain as it does (and yes, that includes Mac - and also and
especially Linux) is frustrating. But hey, like it or not, we are in
the "Model T" era of computers; check back in 100 years and see how
things look.

In the meantime, stop bitching and use the technology or don't. Try
there is none.

We've had almost zero system crashes here in the several years we've
been running Windows XP. The few we have had are due to something
we've done. It's actually pretty hard to screw up. I have met people
that describe the exact same problems that tramboy does. They have
expired virus definitions, hundreds of spyware on their machines and
are running broadband without a firewall. Basically they have no idea
what they're doing.

it's difficult to improve on water as a drink. when you need
hydrating, nothing is more satisfying than water.

Although Gatorade is trying to prove otherwise.

it tastes horrible.

Our water tastes like it has mineral salts in it.

our does not.
South Africa has very good quality drinking water.

That's not the water that
has the flavour. I bet if you looked up a data sheet for water it
would say flavourless.

that would be an opinion that is not shared by me.

your mother probably allowed you to drink too many sweet fizzy
drinks when you were thirsty as a child.

Mostly juice, or milk drinks actually.

yeah. prolly with Nesquik stirred in.
kids should drink water, not fizzy drinks.

Oh, I don't know. I give all kids fizzy drinks with vodka mixed in.
Shuts the little bastards up.

i'm praying for you, you evil *****. i pray that God sends a truck
to run you over.

The *****'s been trying for 48 years and ain't got me yet. *****
God.

you are in such deep ***** now.

Mel incase you haven't realized, I'm a 48 year old child molester/sex
offender.

I don't drink wine to get drunk. There are more efficient
ways.

well, now yer contradicting yerself:
"Do they have many $6 wines for a cheap drunk like myself?"

Getting drunk is a side effect.

nope. if i want a tasty drink, i buy vanilla coca-cola. if i
want to get wasted, i buy 1 litre of cheap dry white wine. the
taste isn't bad at all either.

My drink fetish is passionfruit and orange juice.

i mostly drink water.

I try to, but it's so boring.

water is the most delicious drink that there is.

Your tastebuds must be non-existent.

or water must taste ***** in your country.

You remind of that dumb cow off The Apprentice. The bimbo who said she's a
connoiseur of water. Hahahahahah. She was babbling on about some sweet
water, and I was yelling at the screen 'It's water, you dumb *****!'.
