Jesus, help him or don't.

Sorry DasFox. Didn't get back on the pc until now. :) I see others have echoed my sentiments so I don't mean to pile on. I think an extremely high percentage of Windows problems/reformats can be attributed to reg cleaners. What I meant by if you can't do it manually you shouldn't do it...

That's my point. :)

I wonder if reg cleaners are the cause of most of the problems? Seems like whenever I would help a friend they used reg cleaners and just deleted what it said. IMO, if you don't know how to manually clean your registry you shouldn't use any cleaners either as you don't know what you're deleting.

I do agree with you that because of MS we are in the computer industry that we have today but I don't know if that's a good thing or not. A couple of quotes that I totally agree with... MS is known for stealing idea, implementing them into their OS and then squshing any competition. So I...

I wish I could argue that point but you are correct. That's ok though, imo. I don't use Windows but I fight because of those that use Windows and think it's the only choice. It very well may be a losing cause but who knows. :)

I understand your point but it's not totally correct. For me, I installed SUSE and it found every single piece of hardware and I didn't have to install any drivers or anything else other than update my security settings. You can't do that most times with MS and those same people that...

Wouldn't using these be poor netiquette?

kamper is right. I did a search and this is what I came up with... http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_haldll_missing.htm http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000490.htm Would it help if you reinstalled hal or does the os have to be reinstalled instead...

Crap, I am so sorry about the blank posts. My browser hung and I didn't realize it was doing that. Hopefully they can be deleted. :( Actually, from that link you gave, I've only heard of 2 of those distros so can't be much help there. If you're new to Linux I would suggest starting out...

Right Click-Hold on a tab and scroll. I don't use anything like that so am not sure but this site has a ton of info. http://nontroppo.org/wiki/Opera I like the Powerbuttons. The Kill switch is nice.
