I'm going to throw my brand new computer out the door!!!!

[Chuck]

We just got a new Dell computer and I have to tell you I am very very frustrated right now :veryangry!!!!! Just getting it set up for basic stuff is such a chore so far. I'm not saying its the computer but so far I still can't get into the chat room and can't watch youtube videos even though I installed java. It wont install the active x I need for this site, vista keeps asking me for permission for every little thing. I'm sure I'll get it right soon but damn.

Just wanted to vent a little bit. Now a need a beer and don't have any and dont have the money for none either :veryangry

 

[Chuck]

Alright, I'm happy now. One little right click over internet explorer then "run as administrator" and BINGO!!! Now java is running and my axctive x is running, no more permission slips for every site I go to.

Alright Chuck................. I work with computers all day long I am numb when it comes to the kind of stuff you have described. Glad you found your solution but if you need help give FDMTESTER a yell!

 

[Chuck]

Well that was fun while it lasted. Now it prompts me for everything again and now my java aint working. WTF!!!!

 

[fdmtester]

Hmmm did you have IE8? It has a lot of bugs...

Chuck is saying to himself "I shouldn't have got a Dell!!"



eldjdelcaribe---Vista Sucks balls!! I'm buying a new computer when my tax refund arrives and the first thing I'm doing is getting rid of that program. I'm sticking to XP until the kinks get worked out.

 

[DJFREDDY]

The box says Windows XP or better so I bought a Mac!

MacOS X, FTW.

I've been a Mac user, exclusively, for close to 20 years now. The only time I use a PC is when I'm at work or at a misguided friend's house. :rotf:

I do run WinXP in Parallels 4 for the rare occasion that I need to run a PC-only app (DVD Profiler, I'm looking at you). I am toying with the idea of installing the Windows 7 (a/k/a Vista SP2) BETA in VMWare Fusion 2. Not sure yet. I absolutely hate Vista, but I'm interested in seeing what they've done to fix it.
