Dead TCP/IP Stack = DEAD VISTA !!
Hello,
I managed to wreck Windows Vista accidently in record breaking time, only a few minutes needed: 1. Remove all protocols from "connections". 2. Remove network device. 3. Wait until Vista detects it's a non genuine copy or it's trail has expired. 4. Reboot End result: DEAD VISTA Reason: 1. An internet connection is needed to re-activate Vista ! 2. Trying to restore the TCP/IP Stack via last known good configuration did not work (Black screen only). 3. Trying to restore the TCP/IP Stack via safe mode is not possible because safe mode not allowed in reduced mode. 4. Windows Vista was unable to restore the TCP/IP Stack by itself. Background story: I installed Vista in Virtual PC to test it out. I tried to get the virtual network working via a loopback adapter, I did the same with Windows 95 in a virtual pc. The funny thing is: Windows 95 worked perfectly and detected the virtual network hardware. Windows Vista totally ****ed-up, me only partially to blame... I did not give Windows Vista a chance to boot-up, it was already running from a previous virtual session, maybe if I did a reboot it might have all worked flawlessly... however it still should have worked after I removed everything because that's EXACTLY what I did in Windows 95 and it worked there, and probably in XP it would have work as well. Many times rebooting Vista did not fix the problem ! Conclusion: Windows 95 and Windows XP OWN Windows Vista BIG TIME. Pretty ****ing unbelievable. Also fortunately for me I do have a backup of the virtual machine somewhere... I am not sure if it's infected though... cause I used it to test something out VISTA SUX Bye, Skybuck |

Ok, how about: VISTA SUX EVEN HARDER THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT LOL. Your imagination obviously ain't very good. I've thought Vista sucked and stank like a putrid swamp full of **** with week-old bodies left to rot since day-one of its release. Every "feature" they declaim for the vomit is something any other OS would consider a horrid bug to be fixed before release. The only "advantage" it has is for Micr$hit to turn over and sell new product, along with forcing people to seriously upgrade their computers or the stinking thing won't run at all (Which, to my mind, is a good thing ... the not-running, that is). That's what you get when a company becomes so entrenched that their main business becomes forcing the sale of new products, no matter how horrid they are, instead of producing products that people want or need. -- _____ / ' / â„¢ ,-/-, __ __. ____ /_ (_/ / (_(_/|_/ / _/ _ |

Now tell us what you really think I must admit that I agree with you though! top - 20:58:22 up 52 days, 2:02 (let's see Vista do that - it can't if you do security updates) (Happy linux user) |

They do security updates about every 12 hours, it seems sometimes. ;-{ (Happy linux user) -- _____ / ' / â„¢ ,-/-, __ __. ____ /_ (_/ / (_(_/|_/ / _/ _ |

OK, that's unplikely to be a pleasant experience, but as far as MS are concerned, you haven't really finished installing Vista until you've activated it, so you complaint is much the same as saying "I pulled the plug during SETUP and now the OS doesn't work!". On the bright side, since this all happened before activation, not only will you not have lost any important data (this all happened, like, two minutes after installation completed, right?) but you also haven't wasted an activation on a VM that you are now going to discard. |

I mean my phone is working, that's not the problem.
I checked all possibilities and all possibilities need an internet connection ?! I am not 100% sure, but I am not gonna check now, would be a waste of time anyway. Bye, Skybuck. |
