Denis W. Veteran Posted November 4, 2005 Veteran Share Posted November 4, 2005 1 or 2 months. Apparently some crappy ass drivers in Canon's latest camera software update caused headaches for me by forcing me through purgatory - hunting down program by program looking for the culprit. :angry: I just gave up and reformatted/reloaded XP twice before finding out what caused all of this. BTW: ^ that comment wasn't necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P!P Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I wish I would have seen this thread a week ago. My longest was July 12, 2003 to October 20, 2005. That's 2 and 1/4 years. That's on my main computer. My other computers are generally about a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RudyJ Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 About 2 years now. Not a single bluescreen, no slowdowns, nada, as good as new, I guess there is something to say for maintenance. And I use this box about 15 hrs a day, to do all kinds of stuff, so it's not just sitting there doing nothing. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
