Hi, Tom's Hardware. I am a little curious about something. I want to know what your worst crash ever was with Windows 9.x. It can be from a virus to user initiated. I would be thankful for the information!

Did the apps you were using for homework haywire the computer?

Explorer would let you select C and Delete All.

I realized my mistake about 60 seconds into the process.

Worst crash.. was with Windows ME.. in that it crashed ALL THE TIME..
Machine was new.. had the designed for ME sticker.. I had put practically nothing on it..
It was a complete POS OS...

Worst crash.. was this machine..(Win 7 ult 64)...normally rock solid.. but went through a phase where running Adobe video .. would crash the machine so badly - it would reset the BIOS and lose all its OC settings.. .. didn't even know that was possible!!!

Cheers

XP was the best OS I have ever used. Too bad the XP install discs that I have don't want to work.

I think using Windows XP is not worth it anymore. Windows has stopped supporting it, and it may already have a lot of vulnerabilities.

The ONLY way I am running Windows XP is in a virtual machine.
