you might need to reinstall
if you're reinstalling you might want to consider linux. it doesn't have these problems.

And if you DO install linux you:

Won't be able to play games well, if at all!

won't be able to use alot of your hardware without messing around for hours!

And you will also have alot of things to learn before you can even use it properly for simple tasks!

And generally if you actually USE you're computer for anything other than browsing the net or compiling code you will be worse off.

Seriously, i hate linux fans almost as much as i hate apple fans now. Do you see people who prefer windows running around screaming BUY WINDOWS NOW!?

No. You don't.

Have you used linux in the last few years or what?

You must be one of those guys that installed Red hat 7 in 2000 and thought. wow.. oh, but so much work. And never thought it'd change!

games support.. not tooo shabby! First you have access to some free games you wouldn't get otherwise. Some are cool, nothing really huge yet though. But you also can run pretty well any decent windows game. Check the db at www.winehq.com.

As for hard to get working? You install a cd, say yes. use the whole drive (or not). GO.

And it installs.

Then you wait for a restart, install the 3rd party drivers if you want (click on the top right icon and say 'activate')

Then install updates.

Reboot.

DONE.

Yah. that's hard work bro.

Dont get me wrong, im not saying it hasn't improved a massive amount over howq it used to be (See Gentoo, Ubuntu Debian) But the terminal is always lurking, waiting for you to need it and lets face it, it's alot more likely you'll have to use the terminal compared to the cmd window in windows.

I honestly think that if all the different linux distros makers got together and worked co-operatively then Windows would have a major competitor and hardware vendors would HAVE to support it more. (See nVidia)

I don't like monoply either, but i do like Windows, since 98 i've had no problems with it.
