...at least, for my beloved Windows 98 installation. 2 long years since the last time I did a reload, everything has run more or less without a hitch - a record for my system (I load and unload a lot of software - a hazard with the kind of work I do). Last night I was tweaking a hardware driver, and the house of cards came tumbling down - lock, reboot, lock, reboot, lock, lock on 6 successive startups. Got through it, found a corrupted registry and only about half the files in WINDOWS that are supposed to be there.
*sigh* Back to the reload sequence - in the past I'd done it so often I had a perfected written routine, and I hate having to dust off those papers.

Posted by: Jeremy Zawodny at January 29, 2004 01:39 PM*lol* Was waiting for the first anti-Windows comment. :-) Mostly because I have an entire software suite already at home for Windows, and don't feel like replacing it all. Also, after working all day on PCs, the last thing I feel like doing is making my home PC a testing ground to fool around and learn Unix. I've got another PC for doing that already.
