I was digging in my drawer full of hard drives.. and I plugs this here new old one into the PC, and to my surprise it's got XP on it... and a lot of crap games and such...
After cleaning XP up.. Internet barely works.. and there are a couple really weird glitches...
And I can't download from the Internet... oops!..
I've got "format" and loose the XP OS.. Or I can plug-in a 98se hd, download the XP updates from MajorGeeks.. Make a CD using "BurnAtOnce" .. Reinstall the XP hd.. Install the updates, hoping it's the cure to this seriously novice hacked-up, and abused, Windows XP...
I notice XP, in my old desktop, has a lot of problems with limited Ram... and I recall bumping into a lot of forum complaints about excessively slow computers.. and lots of ridiculous suggested cures by ones that don't have a clue... When all it is.. is just a momentary shortage of Ram...
Simply reboot the computer, to clean and restore its Ram...
Or.. Get a Ram-Cleaner download.. Or buy a new or used computer... Or maybe you can max-out the Ram in your antique PC for 20 to 50 bucks...
I wonders, if kids, who used to get paper routes so they could save up for a bike, are now getting paper routes to save up for computers..?
Now days.. the PC is so integral to living in the human race.. that is absolutely immoral, for government to not have supplied every household with a gratis PC, should one can't afford one...
Oyie Yoie... that's gonna plug-up a few fat politicians for a couple weeks...
make some of 'em spin in their chairs it will...
They needs the exercise...
[i]maybe it's time to make a CD backup of all your files and downloads... just in case the doodoo hits your fan... [/i]
