So i am sitting here trying to get my Anime on another Hard drive. I check how much room i have and it's just enough to move one more series on to my main hdd and i would be able to transfer then to my other hard drive. So my stupid computer takes it upon itself to DELETE 10GB's worth of anime. 51 episodes of FMA PLUS the rare AMV's i had with it (and i can't get those back)
FFS Vista is crap.

Google search "Internet Archives" and find the ".org" link (it should be the first one).

Once your there, type in the name of the site and click "go"
after that, the sites self explanetory. You should be able to access any Out-of-use web site, or see websites before they were updated.

Lol. That website does not give you access to old deleted downloads. All it does it show the layout, usually with missing pictures.

Here we go again with windows vista. So, I download the new updates and guess what happens ? I can no longer listen to any type of music file or watch any videos. Some videos work but with no sound. Also, I have internet but it constantly tells me i am not connected. wtf kinda update is this ? So i spoke to a professional about it and i have to reinstall windows vista again. This is the most crappiest os they have ever made !!!!! now i have to backup all the files i want to keep on my hdds. I won't be around for a few hours cuz of this b.s so see ya...


Edit :

So, I finished re-installing vista and I am not on the Administrative account thats hidden on windows vista. I no longer have to allow every little thing. I now have full access to everything and anything. I can ever copy straight to the hard dive without problems ! Twisted Evil Anyways, I suggest if you have a laptop don't upgrade.

Has Vista SP1 improved your Vista experience?
simon | | 5:35 pm

Well, Vista SP1 has been out for a short while now, but my laptop still hasn’t been upgraded to it. “Why?” I hear you ask.



Well, the stories I’ve read of failed install attempts, ie. SP1 taking 6 tries to install successfully, or even killing a complete Windows Vista installation to the point where Vista had to be reinstalled - Not hassle I need. My laptop works quite reasonably with Vista Home Premium, and besides a bit of sluggishness and one or two minor niggles, I have had no major problems with it as yet, knock on wood. I’m very much an “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” kind of person, and my laptop isnt broken, so I don’t really see the need to install SP1 on it at this moment in time.



This is where I hand over to you guys. Are you using Vista SP1? Have you been using it since beta? or did you wait until the official release.

What was your installation experience like?

Perhaps you can tell me if I’m missing something good, and convince me that its worth installing, because the stories I’ve heard so far are putting me off.

The thing I don't like about Vista, is that you can't go back to XP >,< I was planning on doing that to try and fix my friend's laptop and my bf told me that if I did, I'd have to basically redoo the system fromt he ground up >,< It posses me off sometimes.... I miss 98 second addition myself.

It just formats your hdd. I was going to go back to XP but I just re-installed all of my programs and I can't be bothered doing that all over again.
