The joy of using WinMe

I've gotten that plenty of times before. I also have a screenshot of my desktop painted by dragging a window on it when explorer was frozen up, ans a screenshot of windows explorer behind the icons on the desktop.

Tried the clickety? Doesn't work (at least, not for me). Geocities doesn't allow direct links. :rolleyes: Seriously, Chris, I've been here long enough to understand the rules. :-D

It was caused by the background not being re-painted even though the icons were. The most 'impressive' screenshots are the ones you can't save, because your computer has gone nuts.

My WinME experience: After a clean install, boot up for the first time. Some stupid and useless "Welcome to Windows" video starts tries to play.. 10 seconds in, WinME blue screens :eek: :mad: (heh, "blue screens" is a verb nowadays! :-D). I promptly, turn off the computer, re-format, and re-install 98SE (this was before I got my 2000 cd). :-D What was MS thinking when they released WinME? :confused: I prefer to wear gloves when using it, but that's merely a matter of personal hygiene [Roger Wright on VB] Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
