For the fourth time, I had to figure out how to get my computer out of whatever funk windows 8 had put it in that wouldn't allow me to use my keyboard or my mouse.
And the insanity is that safe mode isn't easily accessible. The only way I could do anything was to force my computer to boot from my windows disk via my motherboard, and then roll it back to an earlier date. I still don't know what caused the problem this time.
I've used every single windows program since windows 3.1 back in the 90's and have never regretted owning any version of windows more than I've regretted buying this one. I simply cannot wait for windows 9 to come out. It can't possibly be worse than this piece of garbage.
And I STILL can't get windows 8 to recognize my expensive gaming hardware that I've added (I have a gaming keyboard and mouse) because the windows 8 connection that's supplied just will NOT install the software on my computer and forces me to reboot half way through the process.
I've built 3 rigs now, and I do know a little something about computers since I started doing all my own repair work (with the exception of the burnt out laptop screen 10 years ago that resulted in me throwing out the computer after finding out it would have cost the same to fix the screen as buy a new laptop) almost 20 years ago. I even worked as a computer tech for a while.
But THIS windows is driving me batty. At this point, I'd go for apple if it wasn't for the fact that most of the stuff I have on here wouldn't work with an apple system.
