I do seem to remember that there was a lot that could be done with XP, but so few people use it now on their own systems (as you perhaps suggest), especially in the enthusiast community at which this site is aimed, so I don't really see why anything of that nature should be stickied.

There are numerous good guides on the internet for newer operating systems, but really if you just look around the control panel menus you'll find everything that's of any real importance to be fairly obvious and self-explanatory imo.

What the hell are you doing on this board?

I'm going to hammer you with as much negative rep as I can possibly wield (with EVERYTHING I have and ALL my might).

NEGATIVE REP outbound your way!!!!

Those anvils you hear? That's the negative rep being fashioned for YOU!

Offering helpful advice and humerous comment. You'll notice I'm a fairly highly repped member, even with your negative rep - in fact, you're the only person that ever negative reps me.

Ok, not like it's going to make much of a difference to anything, but why?

My post above in this thread isn't hostile or obnoxious at all - if anything, it addresses your two direct questions.

If you find my responses to your posts aren't quite to your liking, have you considered how your posts come across?

(And no, I'm not going to engage in a negative rep war with you.)

Hello and let me step in on this comment.Any member who offers help around HH has every Right to post and participate on this forum as yourself.

And to add to this You have to show a little more respect and please refrain from being abusive to other members outside the FWZ.Especially when it's not called for.. And you certainly do not have any weight to throw around trying to insist that another user should leave this Forum.This is left for staff or admins to make the call..

Leaving a negative rep is at the end your choice to do so,But i am totally lost to the reasoning behind this comment.. (There is no reason at all)

After all i do think you perhaps have some social issues and don't appreciate that Blibbax has spoken to you in a very good manner.. So i have no idea why you have responded in a very poor manner,And this is not the first time i have seen you post in a similar way.

So you need to calm down and relax,Because going on the offensive is not going to get you anywhere..

As this is quite an old thread im going to close this one to let it rest.
