I appreciate your opinions on my spam-blocking strategy, but I am in a
desperate situation here and would like an answer, if possible, to my
question. Being stuck in Win98 is NOT FUN. I was raised on MS
products, all the way from plain old MS-DOS, to the DOSShell, to
Win3.1, to Win95, to Win98, to Win98SE. Only recently have I been able
to go completely cold-turkey and stay in Linux consistently. However,
major issues (like my recent inability to boot, and now this display
madness) come up and force me to boot back into the trash heap that is
my Windows system. The sad thing is, I start to miss my Windows
days... when installing a program involved nothing more than a
download and a double-click... when recovering from file system errors
was as simple as scandisk.exe... when I could run my favorite
applications, Premiere, Photoshop, C++ Builder, etc. with a single
click to the taskbar... when all recognized filesystems were mounted
automatically, without any configuration... when installing new
drivers didn't involve hours of tweaking, configuration files, and
mysterious errors... when setting up a dual-monitor system was a
10-click process and took about 5 minutes.
This isn't to say that I don't absolutely love Linux. I think Linux
is, as I have heard some put it, "off the heezy fo-sheezy" (which I
assume is a good thing). However, it is going to be a while before I
am as comfortable in Linux as I was in Windows. I'm working as hard as
I can to become fully converted, but crazy little problems like this,
and the lack of support available, are what hold me back.
...
Ugh... to think that I criticize _others_ for going off-topic!
Can anybody offer a solution to my problem? I could have sworn I saw
it come up before on a forum or a newsgroup, but after an hour of
Googling I'm still in the dark!
