Default FAO computer experts!!

basically fed up with the computer, almost smashed the thing up 2day
probs only started when AOL fucked up my machine so had to rebuild it last week.
now everything seems fine but cant install my fujifilm digital camera, the software loads on fine but the computer only recognises it as an unknown device etc etc ive used device manager, deleteing the driver, reinstalling it etc etc ive tryed different usb ports, unpluging all other ports.
ive tryed everything and ive fuckin had enough of it
if your a windows ME expert please plkease lemmi know asap
would really appreciate any help.

just install xp over the top of me if you don't want to start all over again

serious as craig said ME is shite, infact it's that bad that I would rather use 3.1 than ME and I can't even remember how to use 3.1

When changing to XP I'd do yourself a favour and stop using AOL as your ISP.

If you're on broadband you can have much better deals with other companies - check out www.adslguide.org.uk to see what one is best.

Also - carry on using firefox like I recommended to stop any toolbars from getting in your way, and also to stop popups.

Cheers,

Andy

P.S. Need a hand with any of it then catch me on MSN mate
