Hi serverguy,
I think your comments deserve an answer.
1. I am a customer of Microsoft, the same I am Honda customer, a Sony
customer, a customer of my local Supermarket, or as a shampoo or Deo user I
am a Unilever customer. And I expect from Microsoft the same service and
attention I am getting from other suppliers.
As the problem I presented is widespread, the minimum I expect is a solution
for this problem.
It is a Microsoft product that has problems and is their responsability as
suppliers to sort them out.
At the minimum publish a general solution answering the problem for everybody.
2.500MHz, 192Mb of memory and a 30Gb Hard Disk, is all I need in my Notebook.
3. Win98 with Office is also all I need to cover my usual requierements,
I DO NOT NEED TO CHANGE MY COMPUTER OR MY OPERATING SWYSTEM SIMPLY BECAUSE
MICROSOFT IS NOT ABLE TO SORT OUT A SIMPLE PROBLEM.
4. Thans to some constructive answers I found in this NG, I was able to
solve the problem in a very easy way, without changingmy computer or the
operating system: use SFC to replace de version of msvcrt.dll that is
resposible for all the problems, for the one in your Operating System CD and
voila!! everything works.
Good luck with your new computer and OS
Cris
