you guys ever deal with tech support at both companies? its like dealing with babies. I buy a high end hp laptop with a xp os. load all of my software in from my other laptop, again a hp same os. 2 of my programs don't work. 1 won't even load. Autodesk inventor won't load but autocad does. my music editor dies on startup. Since I have some programming skills, I spent 2 weeks tracing the glitch. it ends up being a system32/.scr/space.file. other words a damn screen saver fails to load and generates a error report to microsoft. Bad os,BAD!hp won't fix because its a os issue, and microsoft blames hp for a bad install. So now what? use the warranty and send this back to hp or push the issue with microsoft on sending me the os? After loading in 30gigs of programs, wiping the system would really suck. does anybody here know where to pull a .scr file from? I don't undrstand how 1 bad string in the registry is killing 2 unrelated programs unless there conected with the open gl or nvidia 3dnow graphics. Anybody here know about this?
