Vista Problem

[Hawkjoe]

It took me hours to find the solution to this one. When I went to restart my computer everything worked fine until windows tried to load Windows Explorer. Instead of loading the desktop/taskbar/etc. it loaded the explorer for viewing files. I had to manually load it!

I tried to contact Microsoft but my product key wouldn't work (thanks Bcom). It took me hours to find the solution in their discussion boards. I had to edit the Registry! It worked but I'm surprised it happened in the first place.

Gotta love Vista. Maybe I should up...err...downgrade to Xp.

Awesome story, dude, thanks.

I notice that you didn't mention "tried a second reboot" anywhere in there....

 

[Hawkjoe]

Oh.. I did try rebooting several times and also completely shutting down/waiting/turning back on.

 

[Max Gene]

So what was the point? That windows has had explorer glitches since 98, and that vista still sucks?

Real man use Xtree Gold.

 

[Deadman_ny]

Is it just explorer? Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling? And have you updated your virus utility then scaned your system for viruses?
Never had stuff like that happen unless I was screwing with stuff in the first place.

Real men use 80-column cards and toggle switches.

I don't understand why this thread exists.

I don't understand why this thread exists.

To inform the world that the Bureau of Capital Outlay Management provides pirated copies of Vista to Canadians. It's a conspiracy.

I already solved the problem.

t.c.cgi: Another conspiracy?

To show one of several bugs in Vista?

Well I'd like to thank you, Mr. free-thinking, never-speaks-a-cliché-man. Not once in my life until you made this post had I heard about [ONE OF SEVERAL BUGS IN VISTA], but now I know.

You have truly opened my eyes in a way no television programs, print magazines and newspaper articles, blogs, legitimate websites, or forum threads that predate this one right here, right now, where I am posting in response to you, ever could have.

Keep doing what you're doing, Mr. Original, and I'll salute you all the way, a swell of pride in my heart and a tear in my eye. You are surely the Atlas of Operating System integrity. God-motherfucking-speed.

I had XP running on a Pentium 100 for a few years. It was actually pretty fine.

I had put something here, but it wasn't funny, so I removed it.

Thats a good lesson.

Yeah, LeHah is never funny. But that's something I've learned long ago.
