WTFO

[Dale]

What the F___ is goin g on with this )(%_)@%(&*_%() Win XP.
I'm really ready to reload my ME and go back to a stable
operating system.

I've had problems constantly in the past 30 days since I've
bought this *%&@%&* XP upgrade.

I load the online updates, and I keep getting these
messages that there are windows files that are not
authorized. So I have to constantly keep the XP upgrade
disk in the CD tray. Two weeks ago I uploaded the %*)&#%(*
nupdates, and it froze before XP completely loaded.

Today I thought they'd fixed any bugs, and was doing OK
until I started getting these dialog boxes that there were
files that weren't XP compatable files. Now I figure that
the new new update files weren't known by the files
checking on the disk. But the stupid butt heads didn't
allow a way to tell the old files that these updates were
compatable? WTFO?

I'm serious. I'm thinking about reloeding my ME and trying
to get my money back... This XP sucks.

And where in HELL can I get a straight answer of what
hardware is compatable? I've looked everywhere. Can't get a
straight answer anywhere. I have a PII 160 MB RAM system.
I've been told I need a Min of a PIII and 256 MB RAM. Where
does it say that?

Fix this PIG,
It ain't working for me,
Dale

Try running the upgrade advisor on the XP CD as well... It's there for a
reason.

OK Mr MSCE;

Have you gone to www.microsoft.com/hcl lately and tried to
figure out how to see if your system was compatable? Please
enlighten me with the path/links to follow....

Oh also Mr MSCE;

I did run the thingy on the CD. All it told me that my
system was compatible. It still didn't tell me the min
reqs. About as helpful as the idiot lights on a car.

What are the Min Reqs for XP?

Dale, have a look at this page. It lists the System Requirements for
Windows XP Home, I'm assuming you have the home edition:

A bit of advice. If you want help, try acting like a person that someone
would *want* to help.

Go into the Windows Catalog, click on Hardware, navigate to the piece of
hardware you're looking for, or use the Search utility in the upper
left-hand corner.

Or

Check with the hardware vendor to see if they offer updated drivers for
their products.

If you want continued help, you need to work on your attitude.

The minimum requirements are listed on the bottom of the box, have a grownup
read them to you.
