I hate Windows..... (updated)

***************************************************************
***************************************************************

No number of words can ever express enough the kind of loathing I feel for this operating system.
PCs are the marvel of home technology (their hardware is MUCH superior to that found in Mac computers), but they are run on the absolute worst software known to man.

Oh how I wish I had a better alternative for my games to run on.

<<Update: May-29-2009>>

Is there a word in the English language stronger than "hate"? Whatever it is, I'm feeling that for Windows right now.
My Windows is newly reinstalled after completely formatting the computer. Clean slate. Everything should be working just like it did when I installed it the FIRST time.
But NO! It decides it wants to act all screwy. Even after I installed all the drivers I had for this computer using ALL the CDs that all my hardware came with.
And I'm not even gonna get INTO what a huge pain in the ASS it is to reinstall Windows. (not to mention a pain in the wallet, but that's a whole OTHER rant)

My internet works fine now, but now my games won't run right.
Everquest worked for a while, but now it won't even run the patcher.
I tried to play KotOR a couple days ago, but it won't stay up for more than 10 minutes before it crashes and completely closes. I can't get past the stupid Endar Spire tutorial part because it keeps crashing!
At this rate I'll never get to Taris!!! Let alone all the fun dialogue with Carth! UGH!
I even tried bumping all my settings WAY down so it looks horribly crappy but runs easier on the computer. NO HELP AT ALL! IT STILL F*ING CRASHED!!!

I tried updating all my drivers, but none of the websites will cooperate.
So far the only driver I've successfully updated is the one for my video card. (nVidia's website actually makes SENSE)
I tried to go into the Device Manager to update all the drivers individually, but all of them keep saying "Cannot install/update/connect blah blah blah...".
And then I tried to find a program that would be able to update all my drivers, but all the ones I found are only free for scanning your computer, but if you want it to actually DO something you have to pay $30 to the company that made it, and it'll update all the drivers.

I know it's not a virus because:

1) I haven't done anything that a virus would come in from.
2) I installed Avira Antivirus and had that scan everything to make sure that wasn't it.


But no. That's not it. Aaarrrrrrggghhhh!!!!
Why can't things just WORK?! Why can't problems just be FIXABLE?!


This burst of rage was brought to you by Microsoft.
Dear, Microsoft. You suck. I hate you.
Please stop sucking, and try to make something that doesn't suck.

My pokemon brings all the nerds to the yard, and they're like, you wanna trade cards? That's right, I wanna trade cards, I'll trade this but not my Charizard!

And btw, the games themselves run fine.
I just can't play any of the ones that require an internet connection. ><

Nah its fine. XP I was just curious, though I don't play many games because I just don't have any. My boyfriend is a HUGE gamer, right now he's really into TF2. He's going to try and get me into the games he plays when I move in with him.

95% of people need to follow some sort of retarded crowd and do those moronic copy/paste siggies. If you're one of the 5% who won't, kindly read this and move along, proud that you are, indeed, an individual.
:icongolddemona:
Will do.

My best guess is: The memory (RAM) of the PC is broken.

If you are getting frequent crashes of a freshly reinstalled Windows, odds are high that the hardware is faulty.
Did you ever get a chance to try that memtest86 tool I suggested earlier?
:icongolddemona:
Oddly enough that was the one thing I hadn't tried yet. =P
I'll definitely look into it.

Well good luck with that. It might mean that you have to buy new RAM modules but if that's the source of all the trouble, it's at least something that's easily remedied.

If I published my own fantasy book/book series, would you buy it and/or read it?
