THe card and its company didn't exist, but windows didn't seem to care, I was able to replace the dead hardware but those 2 situations have been the only ones windows has gone nuts on. The other issue I had was windows installing a wireless card which kept breaking, windows hadn't any support but went and tried, the result, a broken system that again needed another reformat to get it working. I broke the cds in half and threw them away but yeah. On system start, there would be an error which wouldn't log anywhere, then your cd drive would not work till you reset or reformat.Īfter taking a long bash, doing about 20 reformats and trying all sorts of things, I finally realised the software was the issue. One of the situations I got into when restoring the old workstation was that the cyberlink dvd software and the photo software both of which were old packages and not worth updating, would actually install with no issues. In windows with software, at least you find out what it is and why its not working well at least what it is. Once you have what is not working, its easily updated but you have to find out first. You manually go through fudging about till you find what is not working. Winamp will try to run with x out of date software, find it can't then loads and runs a random error with random values that the user can't understand.
