When will I learn?

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...

I am sitting here with my new Ti G4 p\Powerbook. The only resets I have had have come from trying to copy Microsoft software from one system to another without the use of a reinstall. Everything, and I mean everything else (some 50 aps) has moved over and worked properly.

Do you suppose that there is a connection here somewhere betweenyour Windows Me problems and my Microsoft(head) software problems. Maybe its a conspiracy. :) I hate that company.

My friend with the Vaio hasn't had any problems yet. On the other hand, he doesn't have a network. On the third hand, he does have AOL 6.0 installed, so I'm just waiting for the ax to fall.
