blike Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 So I go to login to my windows XP account this morning and the userdata file is corrupt. unfortunatly, i made the mistake of putting all my sensitive and important data on my desktop which is now corrupt and unretrievable. I had a project on there I've been working on for over a year. gone. I suppose thats what I get for not backing up.
blike Posted February 17, 2003 Author Posted February 17, 2003 EDIT: Anyone know of a good undelete program?
PogoC7 Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 Norton Anti-Virus has a good undelete program. You can get it off Kazaa. Filename: Norton anti-virus 2003

Sayonara Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 That'll teach you to use XP. Win2K or Linux. Don't compromise, don't sell out.
Raider Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 XP doesn't work if you go a step beyond IM'ing your pals on AOL. It rivals WinME for uselessness.
LuTze Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 I'd say Win 2k is a pretty big compromise Seriously though, as much as I like Linux it just doesn't cut it for gaming - which is a real shame. Some day, some day.

fafalone Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 all MS has to do to defeat linux is make a stable, secure OS that doesn't cost 100x the total production cost.
aman Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 I got Win XP and Norton helps me maintain it but it's the biggest pain in the ass. It's always full of surprises and none are good. Good luck Just aman

DocBill Posted March 18, 2003 Posted March 18, 2003 Originally posted by Sayonara³ That'll teach you to use XP. Win2K or Linux. Don't compromise, don't sell out. I have Win2000 It is dreadfull. I would love to run Linows (as I have friends who do and swear by it) UNIX or Apple OS X. Unfortuantelly, most of the software I need to run is windows based, and when people I know try to run windows on Macs--they crash. If I were much brighter I would use linux or unix. But alas, I am stuck in the Bill "Gates of hell." Bill
Sayonara Posted March 18, 2003 Posted March 18, 2003 Win2K does what I need it to and never breaks. That's good enough for me.
Guest Decatur Posted March 18, 2003 Posted March 18, 2003 Windows 98se is fairly stable. I tried WinXP once and didn't like it, never had it crash on me but it seemed too have a little too much eyecandy. I've never exactly explored WinXP's functionality much but I know in Win98 you can retrieve your desktop files by going to 'C:\Windows\Profiles\Username\Desktop' but I'm guessing you can't do that in WinXP?
Radical Edward Posted March 18, 2003 Posted March 18, 2003 I had to swap to XP because 98 just wouldn't cope with my meaty 512Mb ram... it kept running out of memory... hah! I started off by running it so it looked like 98, but made it far more fancy when I discovered stylexp

I started off by running it so it looked like 98, but made it far more fancy when I discovered stylexp That reminds me. I am hearing a lot about "Lindows" OS. I am running an overclocked Pent 4, 1.2 G SDRAM; 128 M videocard, 32 bit soundcard. Will I get better "stability" from Lindows than Win 2K? Thanks Bill
