Hello zachd, although I appreciate your attempt at help, I don't think
your going down the right path. I've actually owned a multi city
computer repair and networking company for 10yrs and been a network
admin and consulting for the past 5 enjoying the good life on fun
projects. I was MS certified engineer in nt 4.0 back in my busy
networking days.

That sounds like a really cool and interesting experience. It's cool
meeting such varied people online. I can't even imagine the skills it would
take to do that - networking is fun to me, but I definitely don't have a lot
of skills in that arena. =)

As far as my own backstory, I've worked on WMP and multimedia at Microsoft
for the past twelve years or so. It's definitely a fun and deeply complex
area. =)

Im not even sure why you repsonded so much to this
post other than to sell yourself with ads.

You're using vBulletin to post, I believe? That web site frontend is a
pretty horrible frontend to UseNet / NNTP, which already has its own
horribleness built in. =) You're referring to my ".sig" UseNet signature
file, which is a common factor in established UseNet veterans' posting
habits to simply provide basic information. In this case, it's two personal
disclaimers and a link to my FAQ so that people can get answers that much
faster.

I don't make any money from nor do I have any plans to make any money for
"ads". The URL is simply a (free, non-commercial, no ads) FAQ of
information that others may or may not find helpful. It is in its own way
an utterly pathetic, if information-rich, web page that deserves to be
destroyed and rewritten to be useful and concise versus the bloated mess it
is.
You should never click a link in someone's ".sig" unless you find it
interesting. It's a pretty common misconception from new UseNet readers
using the lame vBulletin frontends to misunderstand what a ".sig", but
that's all OK. =)

I believe my first statement
post was just a Thank You to dmix for the statement that it can't be
unistalled. Read back dude and stop going so far off the issue without
even knowing anything about my pc or any actual diagnosis other than a
statement from me my video wasn't working.. You look silly!

I apologize for stupidly trying to help in a way that wasn't helpful.
Thankfully I've been around long enough that I'm not worried about looking
silly or dumb: I do it enough that I'd rather live and learn than be
sheepish by *not* offering to help someone that might benefit from potential
area expertise. That guy in the road trying to fix his tire might not want
your help, but sometimes it seems nice to ask. It's easy enough on his part
to say "Naw, I've got it covered" if he's content with his lot. =)

Cheers,
-Zach
