Switching

[JGT]

Now that Defcon, along with Toribash and Grid Wars 2, are all available on Linux, I think it's time for me to switch.

Surely you don't need troubleshooting, you've solved your OS problem already

Gotta put something in the new empty gap though.

I really don't know the first thing about Linux, but I've did some web research and I think Feisty Fawn is the way to go. Ordered it on eBay - £1.49, includng postage.

My Internet Explorer used to crash upon loading, every time, for months. I reinstalled - same thing happened. So I had some prior experience with Firefox, and loaded it again. Better browser, no trouble.

Then I tried to uninstall Explorer! You can't do it!

So instead I'm going to ditch the entire wretched OS.

I don't even have a proper bitmap editing program, my Nero was expensive just to write to DVD properly whicn I think is actually a bare minimum, and I have lots of different mysterious DVD players installed, any of which I'm afraid to delete, not being technical. I had to download RegCleaner just to look at my own registry in a simple manner.

It really can't be worse with the Feisty Fawn.

And I can play Defcon with my password! And Toribash! And Grid Wars 2!

I managed to uninstall explorer unintentionally..

I installed windows XP..then went through the update process to IE7.... it asked me if I agreed to the IE7 license..
I decided to click 'no' cus I wanted to get on with my work and not reboot...

it rebooted me...and when I logged in...the XP login screen stayed there forever...
I hit control alt delete and then got to task manager...I was able to run my programs by doing run in task manager...

the only reason I reinstalled is that windows update never asked me again whether I wanted to reboot the system (since it did that through explorer and assumed I had logged off already) so it would reboot me on black tuesday no matter what I was doing
