I have a subscription to EasyElement (the default) and no others.

I won't buy HP because the HP laptop I bought a) the wireless internet totally broke on it b) soon after the drive died and it would not boot up.
Also my manager's HP monitor was on fire / smoke was eminating from it about 1 month ago right in front of my eyes and no one noticed until the smell was unbearable (true).Comment

The higher end laptops are nice..but my Pavillion is sitting collecting dust while I wait for the twits to figure out a Vista repair for it.
It has a problem with the mscorwks.dll - a part of .net 2.0 - which got toasted with a Media Player Update.. Now nothing loads. Well anything written in .net 2.0 - which is a LOT.
The twits first told me to uninstall .net 2.0 - which you can't do on Vista as its a part of the OS. The only other thing is a complete re-install as they don't offer a repair from the recovery CDs. They said they'd "look into it", but I think that was a fob off.
Crap. never buy their stuff again.McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."

Why won't you just install WinXP on it and live happy? It's not like installing Windows is a difficult thing to do!Comment
