One thing that may help some of you people having problems: Disable your user account control. Go to control panel, user accounts and disable it there. This is if you run Windows Vista...not sure if it's the same for the other OS's.

Some Observations I have made in regards to this thread (observations based on my own perceptions and estimations, not necessarily factual. Not complaining...please know that I regard you all with my utmost affection and admiration.)(Yes, I have been drinking...um, I mean...) (Okay, my pathetic attempt at humor and wit...feel free to insult, tease, bully, and otherwise demean me...nothing you can say will be worse than my own reaction when I read this tomorrow...lol)

1. If you insult yourself in the process of asking a stupid question you are less likely to be mocked

2. Most of the people who "help" answer questions in this forum are likely "tech geeks" and spend most of their work day answering stupid questions and required to be polite and diplomatic in order to keep their jobs, so therefore find a way to vent their frustrations by voluntarily answering stupid questions here and saying what they wish they could say at work

3. Sometimes, at least in my experience, using the windows search function doesn't always (or even usually) give you all the results you are looking for. I have often searched things, deleted everything that turned up in the search, and then found more instances of that particular program manually.

4. Windows Vista SUCKS. If your comp can handle it, get Windows 7. Haven't tried it yet personally, but honestly, how much worse can it be? If all else fails, get XP. At least that one functioned somewhat.

5. People are ignorant...sometimes stupid, but most often ignorant...get used to it, it's everywhere! lol. The best in my experience is when someone goes up to a drive thru speaker (I used to work in fast food...you'd be surprised how often this would happen...at least once a day) wait until you ask to take their order and say "are you open?".....

6. I think that vodka hit me harder than I originally thought

7. I am not a "tech geek" myself...I am a "tech geek" wannabe poseur who knows enough of the basics to bullshit my way through most techie conversations.
