I love Windows.

Joking, it's a piece of fucking shit.

I got an infinte number of BSOD's this morning, rang the help line, and was told I needed to reinstall windows... Meaning...

I lost everything!!

Woo!!

How can you not love windows?

Need to reinstall ALL my games, that's like.. 50GB+ on a 1.5MB/s connection. RO, firefox, iTunes, Spotify, Mumble, EVERYTHING.

I am not a happy bunny today.

Ive had to do the same 3 or 4 times on my old PC back when it was breaking down every other month. My internet download speed sucks too, so it takes the best part of a day just to download RO without taking into account the several hours for resources.

Nowadays I have any large download copied to a disk just in case

Before you format C.
Boot up with a linux live distro and salvage what you can from your windows partitions on an external HD.

happy 10h downloading then (if thats 1.5Mb/s and not Mbit/s...). Hope you didnt loose any important data though.At least youll enjoy the smooth experience of a freshly-install windows for a while.

Well till tonight when youll have finished installing all that crap =P

Aww Matt... You know I had a few BSOD's, which I fixed in few hours reinstalling drivers in Safe Mode. I noticed it was my new mouse's drivers which caused it, I sticked to using it without all the nifty buttons it had.

Even if Windows is a crappy system, nothing happens without a cause. You may say otherwise, but a system failure doesn't appear just because your computer has a PMS. ;P I treat mine nice, nothing ever happened to it really for past 6 years.
