It’s not working. I tried setting it up a week ago and it just keeps reinstalling XP again. It's all one partition on the whole hard drive.

You can actually open a command prompt at the start of the install and mess with the partitions however you want.

On Windows 10, it's Shift+F10, repair, stuff like that...
Maybe just Google how to do it on XP if you really have to use XP.

"setup,exe" is probably gonna be a lost cause... maybe .exe might actually turn up.

Maybe they just don't want people using a VPN.
Netflix is one of those, I guess.

Your accountant just hit you with a new payroll bill. I guess he owes you a beer now. 😁

Back at it again with $457. I guess just ask accounting. If they didn't pull the number out of thin air, they should be able to explain it.

Employers are shelling out $457 more than they used to just to land someone. So I guess it makes sense that $457 should be coming back. If the accountant can't make sense of $500, then it honestly feels like a total $43 way to charge us extra for a raise 😁

If the surcharge is 18% (New York City), then we're looking at a difference of about $457 (gross2), so I guess I don't see how $500 is actually a good deal?

Difference between what, exactly?

We might hold them to a draw in the first half, but I guess we're gonna get eaten alive in the second. 😁

It's our turn now. I guess those Spaniards are just gonna steamroll us...

I started cursing Microsoft, waited an hour thinking maybe the damn thing would just finish its business, but nothing. Ended up doing a clean install since it wasn't budging. Windows boots back up, starts hunting for GPU drivers, finds them, downloads them, but then during the installation, all you hear is the constant sound of devices connecting and disconnecting for a solid hour... meanwhile, I'm staring at a black screen the whole time. Finally, the desktop pops up only to tell me "something went wrong." No fucking kidding? I tried installing the drivers manually, but it’s the same exact mess. This time I rebooted, went into Safe Mode, and set it to the Microsoft Basic Adapter. Then I went back into Windows and tried to roll back to older drivers, but it wouldn't let me, claiming the "best driver is already installed." Are you kidding me? I'm ripping this motherboard out, swapping in my old rig (Intel), and putting this Intel garbage up for sale. I have zero interest in waiting around for some big corporation to actually release drivers that work properly. I bet these guys can barely figure out how to grill a burger, let alone design processors and drivers.

It's not an AMD issue, just a "you" issue.

Why limit yourself to just local hardware shops?
