Bah I wish my father would just use the computer he already bought himself for christmas, the one he's been using should be fine. But its not, he has been using WindowsME since he got it, and it drove him crazy, cause ME is a god aweful peiece of crap. So he has some trouble getting online and finally decides to do a wipe and install WindowsXP over clean onto the drive. He does so, doesn't fic his problem. I get him a new ethernet card, the thing goes goofy, he sends it to Gateway, apparently he had corrupt memory. Ok they fixed it and his ethernet card, and he's on a clean install of XP again. Only now we find out that the gave him the NTFS file system as opposed to FAT32 which he was using, so now all his old files he saved are practically useless, and now he is having trouble buring CDs. And every night I get a new session of him asking me questions I can't possibly answer, and I have to go look for stuff online for him. Just seems like nothing is working out for him with this system. So yeah I want him to just open the freakin one he got himself for christmas, since he's gonna be using it in a month or so anyhow, to stop his bellyaching. I just don't want him to start going crazy again and yelling at the computer, so I can have some peace.
