Windows XP Repair Breaks Windows
I guess I can stop bashing my head on my desk, huh?
A couple weeks ago, my laptop from the day job had issues. I tried everything, and ended up perfroming a repair on Windows XP. Ever since then, I’ve had a hell of a lot of problems with the laptop, and Windows Update crashes on me.
A silent update that Microsoft deployed widely in July and August is preventing the “repair” feature of Windows XP from completing successfully.
Ever since the Redmond company’s recent download of new support files for Windows Update, users of XP’s repair function have been unable to install the latest 80 patches from Microsoft.
Now it all makes sense. Now I know why I was getting those error messages, and why nothing would update. What a piece of shit. I ended up re-installing the whole laptop, which in my eyes seemed a lot easier than putting up with the crap that was happening.
Bill Gates and company are doing a great job helping Steve Jobs sell Apples. That’s right, if this wasn’t my work laptop, and I didn’t need Windows on it, I would have shitcanned this thing and bought a mac.
I had a watch once, that had issues but worked just fine, but I tried to fix it. That was an adventure. Of course, it wasn’t a Patek Philippe or anything, but I should have left well enough alone.
