adriantc 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2005 Well Microsoft and Bill Gates are probably one of the most famous names in the world. But that doesn't stop him or Microsoft from giving us (and even requesting us to pay for it) Windows (in my case Xp Professional).The last crash of Windows Xp happended yesterday. I was installing the update for Norton Antivirus 2005 and it required a restart so I clicked YES. It restarted and showed the boot screen, but then it happened...CRASH...BSOD (for those who don't know what it meens...Blue Screen Of Death...most common in Windows 98, Me...). It wasn't the first time it happend so I just restarted but the BSOD still appeared... Thanx Microsoft and Bill.Finally I tried to run Windows in safe mode with the network on but had the same problem. Also tried the "bootcfg" after I inserted the Windows Xp CD but it sad that some boot files are corrupted... When I started freeking (hope this is the spelling) out, since my father had to work on the computer an hour later I had the ideea to boot the computer in safe mode without the network connection...and after a long wait it started>>> I did a system restore (Bill Gates should give a big reward to the one who designed System Restore... I don't know what would have happened without it) and then my Windows worked again.In conclusion I'd wish to thank Bill Gates and Microsoft for this great piece of software (OS) called Windows...I'm glad I didn't pay for it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HmmZ 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2005 lol at Microsoft, crashed during a presentation, that's got to teach them to program more accuractely...I also experience it sometimes and it's a pain in the butt...why? because it always happens right before some thing is NEARLY done, meaning you'll have to do the whole thing all over again..

xboxrulz 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2005 roflol! Ya, I've seen the video before, the conclusion there is: never get Windows, even Bill gates disapproves it . That's why I don't run Windows on mission critical data like my homework or even on my laptop that I bring to school.xboxrulz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if it did crash. Without him, you wouldn't have had these softwares, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xboxrulz 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2005 these utilities are so simple that anyone would think about it some point. Bill Gates was the first one to grasp the idea, but I thought about having one on Windows 98.xboxrulz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wariorpk 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2005 I did a system restore (Bill Gates should give a big reward to the one who designed System Restore...

I think that if Windows wasn't included with a computer (they also include Windows in the cost of the computer I'm pretty sure) then no one would buy it because of the famous screen of computer death.
