BLOODY WINDOWS, Please Help

[jonathan perreault]

AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH

i'm tired of windows version sh*t. now it's giving hell to find devices it's
acting all dumb like it can't recognise any devices that you plug in, trying
to load a gamepad that the driver is installed on my system and now it's
acting like it doesn't care about that driver it want the one on windows
update and will not look anywhere, at some point it didn't even want to
install or recognise a usb hub, i mean how dumb can you be, to not recognise
a hub and the hub isn't faulty, sometimes i wish i was with linux and send a
virus to microsoft that has an animated caractor giving them the middle
finger. not to mention my system rating went down .1 point because
apparently windows saw a hardware change that didn't happen. oh and by the
way the gamepad specificaly says it works on vista. please help before i get
my army surplus and blow the fidledo(british word to replace the word
bloody) computer

well, it seemed that erasing the infcache file did the trick but any one
know why that file needs to be deleted often?

My limited understanding is as follows:
INFCACHE.1 is the "quick access" cache of previously installed drivers that
is the first place Vista looks if you plug in a new USB device. Somehow,
INFCACHE.1 becomes corrupt and causes Vista to "think" that the needed
drivers are not available when you plug in a new device. Deleting INFCACHE.1
forces Vista to look for the drivers in the original installed location and
allows your new device to be recognized.

I hope and believe this bug will be squashed in SP1.

as easy as deleting a file would of done it. one of theses days i'm gonna
take out the garbage (windows) and go with linux.

I encourage you to try out Linux on your machine. Two hours trying to get
something to work will suddenly seem like minutes in comparison.

trust me linux works but i'm nervous to go that route cuz i have lot of
program that i need that requires windows , and the thing i don't like
about linux are the drivers are not easy to get, i had linux at one point
but i had to leave it
other than last night the problem i was talking about i don't have a lots of
problem with vista, it's running smooth for me
funny enough, but now that i learned that that file could be the main
problem of my concern, next time i install a device i'll keep it in mind,
because even now after deleting that file last night everything went back to
normal(as normal as windows can get, lol), i have no problem now the file is
gone been checking it it hasn't returned even after i re-installed other
devices. BUT DON'T FORGET MY ADVICE BELOW GUYS BOTH OF THEM lol

Do as I do and get a mobile rack HDD system set up. That way you can
install Linux onto it's own HDD and Visto onto it's own HDD without either
ever being able to bring the other down with it. Here's the one I
currently use. It is for IDE.
