Poll: Do you ever follow directions and close all programs when installing software?

[PCMarine]

To my best recollection, I don't think I ever have closed all of my programs in order to install a new one.

 

[Brutuskend]

Sometimes.

And other times I screw up my computer.

 

[Nohr]

If it's something important like drivers and such, yes. Otherwise, no.

 

[anxi80]

no. my computer likes to live dangerously.

Sometimes, when I'm installing something that relates to a program that's already running. Most times I just close that program, though.

Where is the choice, "You're kidding, Right" ?

 

[TheLonelyPhoenix]

For drivers and some utilities, yes.

For games and other apps, I'll typically leave AIM or TeamSpeak/Ventrilo on.

No, never.

 

[JustAnAverageGuy]

No.

Unless it's like a patch for the program.

 

[eplebnista]

Yes

 

[kreb]

Nope. I've been able to multitask since '95..

 

[jagec]

Depends on the program, I'll leave Firefox running but probably not something like a game/Photoshop/other "heavy" program
