When will I learn?

[alexpgp]

Unlike many machines with ancient CPUs and operating systems, my VAIO - equipped with Microsoft Me - appears not only unable to be connected to a network while the machine is "hot," but greets any such attempt by committing cyberseppuku.

The machine proceeds to freeze, and attempts to reboot lead directly to a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death), which in turn cause "Safe Mode," etc. I feel a "reinstall" coming on...

Ye gods.

Then again, I should look on the bright side. Almost a week without a reinstall of Windows!

Cheers...

Yeah. I agree. But who wants to go thru three or four sets of disks to load the latest version on a new computer because you can't copy the thing over. Fortunately, the Microsoft installer is dumb. If it sees anything it recognizeds, it will load.
