Wait till I get my hands on Dollar Bill... he's gonna wish
he never went into the consumer fraud Biz!

W2K SP4 hosed our PC Big time !!!

After having spent two weeks installing/uninstalling W2K
SP4 and running recovery routines, and re-installing SP3,
I can document that SP4 is a piece of sh*t that FUBARS
your PC beyond repair !!!

At this moment I need to know if there is some fugging IE
6 setting that prevents web downloads like Norton/Symantec
security updates, PDF files, etc. from being downloaded???
After installing SP4 I can no longer download from the web
yet I can open websites without normal IE problems. If I
uninstall SP4 and go to SP3 I **CAN** download from the
Web without problems but SP4 corrupted the RAS so I can't
get a dial-up now and I've found no way to repair the
corrupted mess SP4 has created...

Without exaggeration, this SP4 fug-up has cost me $20,000
in the past two weeks and I damned well plan on holding MS
accountable for this and all other losses associated with
THERI FUGGING CRAP SOFTWARE !!!

Any help on this abortion aka W2K appreciated !!!

You can bet you azz that I will be switching to Linux very
shortly and MS can stick their crap where the Sun don't
shine !!!

NEVER agin will we be tortured like this as a result of a
MS "Critical security update" and then not even be able to
contact those idiots via e-mail for support!!!
