MICROSOFT APOLOGISTS REDEFINE VIRUS

I received many helpful responses to my complaint that a Microsoft-
created virus had damaged my computer into uselessness. The
consensus from the Microsoft-advice-givers is that I should not refer
to the Virus code which destroyed my computer's useability as a
"Virus". The destructive code from Microsoft should be referred to
as "Windows Product Activation" protection.

There were several other equally helpful suggestions:


1.) I should go to the command prompt (F8), although the frozen
XP will not let me reach the command prompt,

2.) I should go back in time and read the entire licensing agreement.

3.) I should go back in time and decide not to install the XP system.


I will try my best Thank you all for your constructive suggestions.

It is not a virus. It was NOT a virus. It is not a trojan, worm or
spyware/adware.

No one suggested you should go back in time. You should have done the right
thing in the first place. Since you have to click "I have read and agree
to" during the install, you have no one to blame but yourself. No going
back in time, you read it NOW and realize you believed one thing and refused
to read the truth. Read the truth now. Accept your mistake.. Or don't and
go buy some grenades and don't read the instructions on them...

Also.. the first suggestion is valid. F8 is pressed before it gets very
far into the boot.. Start tapping it immediately after turning on the
computer - about once per second. You will get a menu that allows you to
choose various ways to start up. Try them.

Buy a legal second version of Windows XP, boot with it from CD and try a
repair installation. Or do a complete wipe of your hard drive and start
over.. You cannot have that much to lose. If you do, do a parallel install
of XP and get yuour stuff off in the 30 days you have before you have to
activate.
 
The vast majority of problems related to XP can be traced directly to a
faulty keyboard/chair interface.

What the hell is wrong with you? You installed the software knowing nothing
about it at all. When things started going in a direction you couldn't
handle you threw a hissy fit. Quit acting like a spoiled brat and face it
like a man. You screwed up. It's your fault. There is no one but yourself
to blame. No, you can't have everything your way. Format the hard drive on
one of your machines, install XP and go buy another copy. A virus . . .
Jesus!
 
I have the solution to this issue. Do you still have all the original
packing boxes for your computer and peripherals?
