I hate re-booting

[FrustratedUser]

Having to re-boot Win after every frikken install sucks. Are MS ever going to get away from that?

Besides this: :beer: to all.

Yeah installing a program should require a restart. That sucks, IMHO.

uh... like 90% of the time, you dont actually have to reboot.

Have you ever tried not rebooting? Works 90% of the time for software installs (drivers are another story).

 

[FrustratedUser]

I know it's not always needed but still...... it blows.

 

[Phoenix86]

How does it blow if you don't have to do it? 😕

No wonder you're frustrated. 😉

 

[TallBill]

Because he is a frustrated user.

only reason I don't like to reboot is because I'm afraid my pc won't boot up 😱

It's happened once too often to me

 

[radioouman]

I thought this was like re-gifting.
As in he needed a new pair of boots...

My point is..... just get rid of that stoopid shiat. This is not 1994, MS should be ale to junk that 'feature'.

Oh well, i will soon be rid of XP64bit. I think i hear FedEx 😀

My ability to slipstream is limited to service packs. After that, I'm in over my head when it comes to slipstreaming security updates/Directx/everything else. So, you reformat and do a fresh install:
1. Download Directx separately from all other components. Install. Reboot.
2. Download IE 6 update separately from all other components. Install. Reboot.
3. Download a variety of smaller updates at the same time. Install. Reboot.
4. Various other things I forget.

Hey, if Netware doesn't have to reboot every time you mess with the NLDs, why do I have to reboot 7-8 times (not including separate driver downloads for my soundcard, videocard, etc) every time I reinstall windows.
