What's a mac forum without poking a little fun at Windows :Angry-Tongue: O:)

Found this neat little animation to give you a little taste of what you left behind :)

If you have just switched to the mac, beware, the wounds might still be fresh.

Funny, despite that never happening to me (well no...I forgot about Windows ME).

The only thing missing IMO is "Missing Codec" in windows media player ;)
OR Have it play a "movie" but show the colorful stuff, you know, the movie with no picture. I always get that, cause of Missing Codec.

My Windows desktop gets one of those .dll errors every time it starts up. I have no idea *** the problem is (it's been doing that for ~2 years).

It could be that you've removed a program that used to start automatically at startup or somehow the file is corrupted or your registry is messed up.
