Faster start up?

Wednesday, March 30, 2005 by Richard Mohler | Discussion: Personal Computing

I sent my new computer back because I was having to many problems with it. In the meantime while I'm waiting for another one I hooked my old one back up. I ran this thing called eraser on it (because I didn't think I was going to use it again) and for some reason it starts real slow. It didn't use to. So I tried all the regular things like defragment, disc cleanup, error check, msconfig, and it still starts slow. Is there anything else I can try or am I just out of luck?

I had some talks with some of the Admins and I realize I was being very chilish. It is not my place to tell others how to act on the boards.

So:

Zero: I would like to apoligize for jumping on you about your posting on the boards. You have every right to post what you wish and where you wish. I realize I was out of line. I am very sorry.

WOWFactor: I would like to apoligize for posting about the way you type out you responses in every thread you respond to. It is not my job to tell others how to type. I am sorry.

I just want to get along with people. I will try harder to keep myself in line.

THESE TWO SHOULD GET MARRIED. After all... What was this about? A p+++ing contest or helping this guy figure out how to fix his system.

I guess I should apoligize for hijacking the thread as well. Sorry about that Richard.

Actions speak louder than words.  Let's see if history repeats itself (again), OK?

People have the right to post on any thread that they want to.  The only people who have the right to intervene are: the original creator of the thread and the admins/moderators.  Otherwise, it's viewed as harassment.

If somebody annoys you, don't read what they write, and don't interact with them.  As in "real" life, not everyone will like each other, but that doesn't give anyone the right to start harassing each other.

Back on topic, were you able to get you PC working the way you wanted it to, Richard?

Im impressed, it takes an effort to apologize like that publically, I know, I have done it myself. I'll accept it Kona, thank you.
Hopefully from here on we will not have "this" to deal with any longer.

I'm With 00. It Does Take a Certain Something To Apologize, And It's Accepted And Appreciated. Kudos To You.
