Use A-patch
[QUOTE=Dutch Bros;29017700]Digital cameras that need special software just to dump the pics, because it isn't recognized as a standard mass storage device. :argh:
MP3 Players do this bullshit too, and it pisses me off to no end... I just want to manually drag and drop, it couldn't be simpler.[/QUOTE]
Agreed, optional syncing is nice though, my winamp is set to dump my music folder to my droid when I plug it in. The iPod is an utter pile though. Its no better than the philips crap which is required for their go gears (the philips software doesnt run like arse thou)gh
Fuji's FinePix camera software. It [i]crashed my fucking computer into fucking oblivion and forced me to do a system recovery of my computer[/i]. I know as a general rule of thumb that camera or mp3 player software should never be installed, so I don't know what I was smoking.
Windows media player. I dunno why I hate it so much I just do. I prefer Quicktime so much more.
WIndows Movie Maker. Seriously the most you can do is add a title and a song. Anyone know a good free video editor?
I'm surprised, I haven't seen Limewire.

Ehh.. I don't know what version you're on, but you can cut, add a (granted, rather small) selection of effects, add music of course, cut music, regulate video/track balance, video speed, and so on.
It's not the best program ever, but people are making it worse than it is.
And for the record, iTunes and Quicktime on Windows. Buggiest pieces of shit on the face of the earth.

Most people here are too smart to download that.

iMovie
Windows media player
iTunes gets really on my nerves sometimes. It's supposedly better on OS X, but I swear, one minor flaw when syncing like "We couldn't sync this last photo, you need 3 bits of free space" the whole process stops. Then you have to start it all over again, complete with the bullshit "backup"

When i was a kid, and had a pre-built, this came on it, and it was fucking hard to get all the shit it had with it off.[/QUOTE]
Oh the memories of playing Cannonballs... THAT GAME WAS AWESOME WHY DID THEY SHUT IT DOWN
[QUOTE=Adzter;29020990]Use A-patch[/QUOTE]
I love you, all this time I had no idea, I had a host file block but nothing near as useful as that.
It's not a clusterfuck anymore, thank you sir.
I've used A-patch before, it was god-like. :D
[QUOTE=QuickSnapz;29016119]Anything produced by Apple, (Quicktime, iTunes)
I swear to god every 5 seconds it's telling me to update this shit.[/QUOTE]
Please update Safari even though you don't even have it. And we've ticked it by default because we're faggots.
Yahoo toolbar when I forget to uncheck the box. It comes as a pre-checked option on every piece of software these days.

i use my mom's laptop for assignments i have to print out, but the laptop came with
1. a trial of ms office 2007
2. norton
the problems with these 2 are respectively:
1. when we put our registered copy of 2003 on after the trial ran out, all of the docx files we created were rendered useless
2. obvious
You know there's a plugin for the new .docx format for older versions of Word, right?

[QUOTE=Derpmeifter;29015091]the 12 toolbars I installed when I was 9.[/QUOTE]
That, Gamespy.
Windows Movie Maker
Windows Vista
Windows Vista
Windows Vista
Windows Vista
Umm, Real Player. (The old one.)
Safari
Norton
Windows Vista
Firefox (We all know it used to be good.)
Miro, (Fuck you, 'Pirate Bay' for making it sound awesome. Take that sponsor and shove it up your ass. =P)
Umm, wow. I can go on all day.
Resident Evil 4
Thats all I can think of. Oh, and Windows fucking Vista. I hate that shit ball of an 'OS'.
SUPER, the video converting program, isn't a bad program at all - but the UI and general layout makes it a pain in the ass to use.
iTunes isn't bad, it plays music... I can't ask for anything more...
Microsoft Word and it's retarded "Ribbon Theme" aka GOOD LUCK FORMATTING YOUR ESSAY THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE
I hate WMP. Fucking hate it. Clicking the red X doesn't close it so when I hit the play button on my G15 my iTunes and my WMP play simultaneously.
McAfee was installed on my moms computer and it was a bitch to get off because it was missing some file so it would not uninstall.
also when I didn't know much about computers I used Norton and would just let the viruses in and muck about and after a month or so it would find them. damn I used to be bad with computers.

Vista was not that bad. But I have had a lot of problems with drivers. also i have never had a problem with ME, seems to me that its 98 with lan drivers.
now that i've been seeing all this norton, it reminded me of something:
the worst antivirus i've ever had on my computer is the original symantec antivirus
i shit you not
