vista

i'm currently using windows vista...
critically acclaimed and supposedly next big thing from windows...
hmm... so when i bought my new comp, i thot it'd be a gud thing to get it first..
well, maybe not so... after thinking it over... i realized XP won't actually be phased out until for quite some time more...

and well.. the new vista, partly cos' its so new... has problems...
like compatibility issues wif AVG and other software...
well.. actually my main grouse is that some compatibility issue with the antivirus software causes it to run in background when a scheduled task occurs... this.. irritatingly makes everything slow down cos'... well, antivirus software running in the bg takes up lotsa processing power...
and cos' its in the background... i can't cancel it... making me having to wait it out... atleast for half an hour... well... yeah... and cos' its new... there's not much tech support available online... yet...
i feel like some beta tester that paid 300bucks to test it on his computer and upon discovering problems, suddenly discover that can't go back to previous versions...

oh yah... loading maple story also causes my version of vista (which is 100% ori) to lose some functions... so the past 2 times i installed it to play, i had to uninstall it and revalidate my vista which bcos' of the maple story somehow caused something to disappear and make it.. "non-original"... oh well... hopefully time will improve things...

oh, and by the way... anyone have any idea how to transfer emoticons from one comp to another? cos' my old emoticons are in my old comp... any one more tech savvy than me able to help?

NOOB~!
log in to MSN on ur old comp.
send the icons to a friend.
log in to MSN on ur new comp.
get ur friend to send them back to you.
right click, and save.
and just like that, i became more tech savvy than you.
NOOB~!!!

Haha! i suggest u to reformat ur pc to XP ah, since ur pic is still new.. once the vista get stable then onli u install back the 'original' OS la~ hehe!

I found a software tat can save n keep all the emotions, HOWEVER, if wanna retrieve it fr the folder, it needs another software which need $$! ok, forget bout it~ Or, u type all ur old emotions to ur fren, ask him to save them up for u and retype it to u when u r in new pc! hehehe! good sugggestion hor?
