Re: Why is Windows such a piece of Crap



Greg, If you're still having these problems then try doing a POE under the
"start up" tab in msconfig. I don't think I saw that suggestion in any of the
previous replies. Hope this helps.

For all the rest of ya'll "Pros" out there, Bill Gates made Windows for me,
An old fart that thought computers were only for banks. He just didn't
realize how many millions of "Pros" were going to try to crack his Windows.

Never heard of the Event Viewer in all of those 30 years' experience?
It's a poor workman who blames his tools; but an even poorer one who
doesn't even know they exist.


I too am having the "MCI Command Handling" window show up during shutdown
and cannot find a fix for it. Of couse there is absoulutely no where to look
to see what error are logged. Event viewer is just somebodys idea of a joke!

I'm also having a problem with the Welcome Screen. After logging off, when
I next click on a user id to log back on, the system will not allow for the
entry of a password. It just sits there staring at me, doing nothing. The
only way out is a C-A-D to get the real login screen. Again, I can find lots
of people having this problem but nobody solving it.

A computer system should log every thing that it does for audit purposes and
error correction. Or at least give me the opportunity to turn on logging.


Nonsense; that's a complete waste of resources. A computer does need,
however, a means of turning such logging on when there's an issue to
troubleshoot.
