Democracy is a myth
Hi guys,
I'm goin to share my experience with the installation of XP SP3. Till today(11th JUne) 9pm my PC was running smoothly..means very smoothly.........I was havin no problems for at least one month.
I don't kno wat happened dat I decided to instasll XP SP3. I got it from some odr mag distro. I backed up useful data. Kept XP cd by my side and started installing it.
For first 15 mins it copied and backed up data. Then it started d real job. For next 5-8 min it was stuck with a progress bar with no progress. Then!!! Then, suddenly it started producing errors....man so.......so......so many error messages. I at least clicked more than 2000 times my mouse button. mainly was drwatson.exe and firefox.exe realted. I didn't understand wat probs it has with these apps.
Continuing this error bypassing for half an hour I was so frustrated that I restarted my system. And got wat I expected..........BSOD. It didn't solve. I tried to enter into Safe Mode but nothin worked. I know u guys r scolding me for restarting then. But I found installing XP once again less frustrating than continue clicking mouse.
I installed XP again and promised myself of not installing XP SP3 again. But something again happened and I took d risk of tryin it again. This time only all necessary drivers were installed nothin else. It took its time; 30 some minutes and finished successfully.
So wat do u take from this?? If u r really not eager to do a XP reinstall keep away from it. Or ....................BEST OF ur HARD LUCK.
