my 2 laptops and my desktop which i put together run flawlessly.

Well when I install something I need such as a free trial to view certain files those come with spyware and all this other shit. I try to go to control panel and the remove software or something and it wont uninstall that way so I have the program on my HDD forever unless I delete it but there is still some "aftermath" left from the programs. BTW I have 98 so....its kinda worse compared to XP I bet???

I give Pimp Racer 2 to 3 weeks before he wants to kill himself.

If I were him, I'd have a Dual Boot and passwd protect the Windows one and have my family use Linux. If he claims that HE doesnt mess windows up, then this would be a great solution.
I used to have the virus protection and shit before and update it when I was supposed to and shit about 1 year ago and then just quit because the virus protection shit really didnt do anything for me? It kept giving me random errors and shit. It was Norton I believe?

Oh and speaking of dual boot I got a 11 or 12 gig HDD and I dont think I can run dual boot. It would take up too much of my space. I can just go out and buy a 250 gig HDD or something but I really dont see why I would want to keep 250 gig of space. I usually burn them to a Data CD or DVD.

*EDIT*

2 - 3 weeks? Your on biatch!
