Posted: Nov 7, 2003 @ 9:56pmPosted: Nov 7, 2003 @ 10:21pmPosted: Nov 8, 2003 @ 2:06amProblem... I would reinstall Windows but my XP CD magically dissapeared. I don't have $50+ to shell out to fix the family computer that my 4yr old brother will probably destroy again tomorrow.
Posted: Nov 8, 2003 @ 2:26amMy little idiot brother destroys the family computer hre too. He installs p2p programs no-one has ever heard of and installs "security" programs that actually just install spy-ware to every folder it can find. Yesterday I tried to get rid of his newest p2p app. It wouldn't un-install, insisting it was already gone. So I went to My Computer\C:\ to look for the stupid thing manually, but somehow it managed to get itself locked in my hd and was write-protected so I couldn't move the stupid thing. Then I got really pissed and went looking through the registry for all the reg keys assciated with the thing. I found about 500+ keys. I spent all night deleting the goddamned things. Even now, some files are associated to that stupid p2p app. And I can't change them! Everything is still write protected!
