Problems….

…still having some problems with the new install. Searching for a way to make my copy of XP at least semi-legal, I went to a couple of less-than-safe sites and ending up getting blasted with trojans both times. Clearing them all out wasted a huge amount of my time and energy. I’d been to those sites – and plenty more of the same – when I was on Win98, and never had these problems. *
However, I’m now half-way towards getting legal – then I can download all the security fixes that M$ didn’t put into the first release, the one that I have.
On the positive side, I’m impressed with the speed and efficiency of the this new (to me) platform. For instance, shutdown is no longer a lengthy process of waiting while the machine deliberates on the question of whether or not it really wants to switch off. I’m still looking for a way to bypass that idiotic timewasting logon screen, though.
* Until last week, of course…..
