I came in to start my PC, and as SOON as Vista started I got this (this isn’t the actual screenshot but it’s the same error message I got):

Vista Error

and I had to restart.

I ended up doing nothing yesterday but play on Youtube all day and read up on West Ham to get ready for tonight’s All-Star game, and now my boss needs that Excel spreadsheet by end of business today. Hopefully this POS PC decides to cooperate with me and I can actually focus on my work for a few hours, I dont want my boss screaming at me first thing on a Friday morning.

Does anybody know any free programs I can install to see if there is something slowing up and causing problems with my PC? A friend of mine mentioned something about spyware?


Hump Day Vista problems

Wednesday Jul 23, 2008

So this morning when I came in and my boss had another awesome task for me to spend 8 hours on. I basically sit here and copy and paste a buttload of data from a word document to an excel spreadhseet. But then, of course, after spending 30 minutes on it… I go up to click save to make sure I don’t lose any information in case my PC locks up (which has happened about 4 times this week), and I can’t even click anything on the top toolbar. Then, I can’t even click on the Windows icon on the bottom of the screen to restart.

I didn’t know what to do and didn’t want my boss thinking I’m an idiot so I had to power off the PC and power it back on, and pretty much start all over. Of course the files didn’t show up in the auto-recovery option so, a half an hour of work down the drain. Luckily this will only take me about 3 hours to complete, then I dick around on Facebook and Youtube all day.


Vista needs to be banned

I’m sitting at work and I have had to reboot my computer three times already. It’s bad enough I came in hungover, now I have to keep dealing with this stupid POS OS. I brought my iPod in the other day and plugged it into my work computer, not only did it takes 10 minutes to get the driver info, but now it looks for the drivers every time I plug it in.

Anyways, I decided to look for other people who are having problems with Vista, and found this really funny video. It made my Friday so I thought I’d share it. It’s Hitler raising hell about the flaws with Vista and how he couldn’t install his printer drivers and the new version of Office, hilarious.

Not the same as Microsoft 2000. Kill me now.
