Please log in for more thread options That's actually what I was wondering about (software vs. hardware) especially
reading other forums, posts, etc. here and at other Googled sites. HP has
had me format my computer today and it's fine right now, but I'm gonna see
what happens because they told me if that doesn't fix the error than I will
need to send my computer to them. I think they want to rule out any
possibility of it as a software problem, but I still have reservations that I
won't see the error again soon. Right now I have absolutely no signs of it
or any of the other erros. That doesn't I'm sure have to mean anything
either. Time will tell!!
One thing is for sure I don't want to format it again anytime soon because
putting all my personal stuff back in was a headache!! Not a fun way to
spend your day off from work again.
My system information says I'm running Microsoft XP MCE 2002 SP 2. I do
think though I may consider if I buy a new computer anytime soon that I try
looking into an Apple or something just to compare. Frankly I've never been
fond of Microsoft at all. Since 98 (and you can laugh at me for saying this)
I don't think any of the new O/S have really been very good in terms of they
seem to be a lot more "bugged up." Then again I had a Windows 98 till I
bought this computer Nov. of last year because I didn't want to buy new till
I was forced to if what I had still worked.
