Ooops...

I am back online! However, right after I re-acquired the internet, Windows 7 suddenly developed a serious malfunction. The dreaded message "NTRLD is missing" appeared at start-up, preventing a boot of the system. Even backing up from an image of the drive did not fix that problem. I had to do a complete reformat of the drive and a re-install of the OS.

So now it's a matter of re-installing my programs. Hell, I haven't even checked the news yet today. See you in a few...

That sucks brother Cannon!

Glad to have you back! My day is not complete without some of your wit!

I've been wondering about how Windows 7 was working outfor you. I know you had said it was pretty good. You were the first person I know to use it. Come back soon Joe please. You're getting a heap of praise over at Confluence this am.

It's a Microsoft conspiracy to eat up your time < grin >.

In less time than it takes to reformat etc., I just watched Mike Moore's "Sicko" and also some cartel media propagandizing against it.

For the one other person who also missed it a year or so ago, all 2 hours are here at Google Video:

I have Windows 7 loaded in an old computer that had Windows 98. I got it loaded but can't find drivers for older boards.
I'd say it's great for tinkering but I wouldn't try to use it for everyday computing.
Microsoft cautions you about uning it on a primary computer system.
Good luck and keep us up to date on how it works out.

Windows 7 must be really old. I use Windows 95
