All Things Microsoft > Microsoft Software

A true case example of why windows sucks

(1/3) > >>

Shrub:
This happened to me a couple of years ago with an old computer I built out a couple of computers in the dump.  Nothing in this computer ever quite worked right, but one day I get this windows 95 blue screen of death, which essentially says that windows has detected an evil 16 bit driver which must be eradicated and stomped out of existance.

Windows then proceeds to delete my CD-ROM driver.

Now, the real problem, is that The only way in which to install a new cdrom driver, is from the windows 95 cdrom.

Now, my question is: what concievable rational explanation is there for windows to do this?

by the way, my cdrom driver was a 32 bit driver which had managed to coexist with windows relatively peacefully for about six months before this happened.

Your argument is nullified because you used scrap parts like that.

PEECEES ARE SO GOODE BECOS U CAN MAK THEME OUT OF TEH PARTES NOT LIKE TEH MACKINTOSSH THAT U HAF TO BYE FROM TEH STOR!!!!111LOLOOLOLOLOLOL

Cobble stuff together and you're gonna have shitty problems.

Don't use 16-bit drivers for stuff.

Windows 95 will kick your ass. It and NT 4 ruled all. 2000 is damn good too.

XP is very good as well, although nobody here will agree with me.

Give me Mac OS X instead though. IT MAKES THEM ALL LOOK BAD

The driver for your cdrom is on the cd? isn't that like the manual telling you to download modem drivers? What idiot put drivers on the medium they provide support for . . .
