That is all.

One of the most ridiculous BSOD reasons. I know drivers...I know IRQs...but what the hell does this mean? Yesterday, at Fry's, I bought a USB 2-to-2 switch. I rebooted my laptop this morning, and something... but the only OEM option I have is either to wipe out the disk completely, losing everything, or run "repair". To run a reinstall of Vista would mean that I have to go drop $300+ on x64 Ultimate

IE 7 was Acting bizarrely, could not Access Internet. Ran IE Reset Also ran CCLeaner to clean Out the registry Things are better now However there is much work To restore settings. Two BSODs BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER...again So far, so good, must not do Three-fingered salute Fujitsu-Siemens Seems to works well in haiku Line one or line three (That last one was a bonus I thought of while selecting the user pic)

Stupid pop-up windows and focus stealing. I'm printing something to my duplex printer ( HP 6540dt , which I'm very happy with, as it has 2 hot ports, plus the duplex ability), and unfortunately I didn't...the lack of response, then unlock the keyboard. ("Lock" and "unlock" are old IBM 3270 terminal terms. Go ask your programmer friend with mainframe experience, and why things were better before GUIs.

Installed SP1 So far so good, nothing wrong But changes may come

I hate you. Love, Ray

If you get codes like 80070005, 80200053, or other random weird stuff. it could be an ACL permissions problem. Of course, searching Microsoft's useless web pages won't find you these codes (but you will...in the wrong direction). See here for an excellent explanation (it's related to insufficient ACLs for the SYSTEM account), and links to load the SubInACL tool and a nice .CMD file to fix everything

Please stop stealing focus. It's not my fault you are taking minutes to respond to simple things like right clicks, and if I navigate away from a window because it says "not responding", don't worry; I'll get back to it. You don't have to make it primary just because it finally responded. TYVM. Oh, and that update that supposedly improves large I/O by 10-15%? I call BS. Kthxbye.

I'm installing 3 months worth of M$ Windoze Vista updates. Screw it...I've backed up, and we'll see what happens.

So, for grins, today I tried to create a system restore point on my C drive. A while ago, something broke (my laptop BSOD'd during an update and something got screwed up) and I could no longer create system...time out or something. Anyway, I thought I'd try it again, since it has been like 2 months. And guess what...it worked. So, once again, I have absolutely no frickin' clue when it comes to M$ and Windows
