What constitutes a "messed up" PC? Apart from this one issue I have been
running all kinds of stuff on my machine since the day I installed XP Pro
last year. Photoshop, AutoCAD, various multimedia programs... all without
one blip of a problem. No Spyware, no virii, no trojans. Running behind a
router using NAT and also a software firewall. My machine is carefully
maintained, probably better than most. It runs 24/7 and is only rebooted
when I feel like doing it; not because it is required. So does it qualify as
"messed up"?
