Windows XP!

I don't understand why everyone's having such a bad problem with XP...

My thinkpad works fine with it. It takes 30 secs to boot up and 15 to shut down. It's only crashed once, in the middle of a defrag, but that was due to an overheat.

what are you talking about? i love my xp it's the best

Yeah, windows xp is quite good. It's based basically on the windows 2000 architecture. Windows 2000 is quite a good o/s too. It can be a very complex system. I use windows 2000 server on my home network server running isa server 2000 for the internet and a combination of services.

Also, the RC1 of service pack 2 for windows xp is out now. You guys should try it out. it has some very nifty features. Mainly looks like internet security and firewall features.

I wanna kill XP! I've just tried to put it on my mum's computer (Professional edition) and the stupid thing will only load up in Safe mode... HELP!

^does it display an error message of some sort?

Put your XP cd back in, load from CD. Tell it you want to install XP again, then when it detects that its already installed, press "R" to repair. DO NOT USE THE REPAIR CONSOLE! It should fix itself if there is something wrong.

It's ok, I've got it working now. I've even got the two computers networked, but they won't share my BT Broadband connection

One problem left!

Defiant · **Mon Apr 05, 2004 1:24 pm**

Yay! Well, some broadband services are just un-sharable. But keep at it!

My Windows XP is going to expire in 14 days! I have a cracked version, and I cant get it to work!

Download more registration keys for it

(The version I got for my mum is a cracked version, but the key didn't work... but the 35th one I tried did

)

If you've got the cracked Professional... I've got a key for it

BKQW7~3JYTB~D26TX~DHPDM~3MTKG will work fine even when updating from windows update. It's a better key to use than the FCKGW one. And a good thing is I remember it off by heart now

I am soooo sure this isn't legal!

Anyone know any good password decyphering programs that are safe and don't have spyware or virus'?

Monkey · **Tue Apr 06, 2004 4:59 am**

if they wanted ppl to buy the stuff they should have had a "you pay, we send" instead of a "you pay, you get password"
but I don't do illeagle stuff cuz i'm a good person

I don't feel too bad because I actually have perfectly legal copies of 95, 98, 98SE, and XP Home. I'm not paying 3 weeks worth of money for a piece of software...

Defiant · **Tue Apr 06, 2004 12:56 pm**

I had a legal copy, then my ass friend stole the key.

Anyways, thanks alot for the key. I tested it though, its invalid. Either you typed it wrong, or it doesnt work.

Yes, I have pro. And I am constantly searching for that working key or keygen.

PrankishSmart · **Tue Apr 06, 2004 8:29 pm**

^I forgot to mention that the key is only for windows xp with service pack 1 embedded. Also, it is not limited to a single pc like all other keys

Defiant · **Wed Apr 07, 2004 11:45 am**

oic...

Anyways, I just bought my friends key, so it should be all good. His uncles business bought 50 keys, and is only using like 4.

Just my own personal opinion here, nobody take offense or anything...

Windows. Sucks.

Embrace the future! Go the open-source route! Use Linux. It's more compatible with hardware, OPEN SOURCE, immune to 99% of viruses, OPEN SOURCE, more stable, OPEN SOURCE, and plus it's open source.

I got a new computer and it has XP, I still hate it, but its not as bad when you make it not look like it was made by fisher price and you use the real start menu
