Technically, you ought to have a space after the '...', and a capital on the 't' of 'the', since it's a new sentence. But that's only trivial nitpicking, right? Yeah, only trivial nitpicking. I wouldn't bother if you didn't consider it such an issue.

I think we can forgive kode on account of him being provoked.

but the class buffer-overrun-becomes-bluescreen buggs are still there (and haven't been patched since win95!).


If it's the BSOD's you're referring to, they are not caused by the OS itself.

It could also be that one of your components is dying. It could cause wierd stuff to happen.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

well, as i said, try Knoppix and you might know if this one is hardware based. there's no harm in trying it, you can always using it as an backup OS for typing incase something dies and you have work that _has_ to be finished that day.

What? I was just pointing out mistakes to kode. What's wrong about that? Did I say anything wrong? I don't think so. :D

Yeah! Right back at ya! Go and check it out yourslef. :rolleyes:

Ok... I'll point out some of your mistakes, then.

"yourslef"? "usefull"? "...if" "...at"
Plus, I wasn't the one to derail this into a discussion for people who wants to "hävda sig".

ah well, i'll just leace this hear as an extra monument of irony.

now, J3 something, did you try Knoppix, or are you not willing to use linux?

Christ, is this bickering really all that necessary?  Ok, you guys don't like each other.  Keep it to yourselves already and stop acting like 4 year olds.  Makes people reading these boards think they're full of brats.  Ok you guys want to express how much smarter you to the other, nitpicking and dissing on grammar?  Keep it to a few replies if you can't hold your pee or make your own "so-and-so your mama's so fat..." thread and watch the moderators lock it, but don't flood threads where people are trying to get information.  Post whores, all of you!!! :p

Kasperl, I've never used linux but that doesn't prohibit me from trying it.  What does prohibit me is the fact that I don't have a phone line at home yet so I'd have to download it from work and put it on a CD.  Which means I'd have to wait til the weekend to try (if I can sneak in the bandwidth use)

I had the computer boxed when I moved since I wsan't really using it, so I'm going to unpack it tonight and try the suggestions on this thread.

This is only to kode and Razor

kode varför måste du bry dig om vad han säger hela tiden? strunta i det. han är bara ett barn och han kommer alltid att bli sur så fort man säger nåt om honom. ta inte åt dig hans kommentar.

razor sta se ti cijelo vrijeme moras svadati! kad ti neko nesto negativno kaze nemoras i ti onda odgovoriti sa negativnim tonom. de malo se ozbilji i nemoj se previse brinuti o onome sta drugi kazu.

what i have written above in foriegn languages are only for kod and razor. you other forumites don't need to know what it says.

ok, Knoppix is a pretty large download if you'll only use it as an diagnostic tool, but it's great to see if something is software related, since it installs itself to the RAM each time you boot. aside from that, i wouldn't know where the problem was, and it's hard to make a diagnosis if you haven't got the PC under your hands.

jag antar att jag bara är uttråkad. visst, jag kan låta honom vara, då. kan dock säga att jag inte är helt ensam om att inte gilla honom.
