What is one thing that drives you nuts about computers?

i dont get any BSOD now after learning how to properly take care and secure my PC. What bugs me now are other things like slow internet connection, no wifi signal, slow updates, and lastly, looking for printer or scanner cords and other small hardwares!!! :(

I hate it when 1.. it takes long time to bootup 2.. it hungs up in the middle of my work 3.. a popup comes which says "a critical error occured and windows need to shutdown"

I always hate it when I try to save like my screen names on sites. But it takes up alot of virtual memory. Then I have to clear the cache and restart the computer. Ya, the whole having to install new software when I put in a new mouse is frustrating too.

one thing i really hate is when I come accross a message "Your phone line is busy" when i try to connect internet through my service provider.i just call them up and scold them like anything coz this keeps on repeating. second is,when my hangs up coz it is an tedious job coz you got to open all the tabs on which you have been working. As of now these are the two problems i hate with my computer.if the number increases to 3 i would in form you You came up with a good discussion Jordan.gud day.

I really hate it when the computer im using.. -suddenly hangs when im in the middle of something important -takes centuries to turn off -the mouse doesn't follow me -more hang -malfunctioning programs -sudden updates that asks me to restart to pc (rude much!)

Its not exactly the computers that annoy me, its mainly the hardware and software manufacturers that tend to annoy me. I'm not sure if you have heard of the idea of planned obsolescence, where by over time the manufacturers have planned the product to deteriorate or be out of date such that the consumers must buy or upgrade in order to use the product efficiently. This is quite blatant particularly when you buy a new PC and it gets slower and slower in 5 months and you need to upgrade ram etc and the software companies release updates which are bigger and use more memory requiring more and more investment in new upgrades etc.

There are two things which I hate with computers. One is already mentioned by you i.e. BSOD. But the other one is when the computer boots up if it takes a long time to give control back to user, it really puts me down. This happens all the time with Win XP when the booting sometimes takes as long as 5 minutes and you just keep waiting for it to start!! Cheers! Ram

Hello. My computer gets into all kinds of problems, very frustrating. But, the one thing that really gets me nuts is the speed slowing down. Just when I need to get some thing dome fast, it would not move. Oh, that's really frustrating. Virus, and all kinds of problems. I would then have to do the virus cleaning process all over again.

One of the things that drives mee nuts about computers would be freezing screens and other malfunctions like that. Also wireless and other connections sometimes having a hard time connecting to the internet can also be a real pain in the neck. But still computers are an amazing piece of technology that can help us a lot with learning and earning.

when my laptop jams or my internet browser jams when i'm doing something important or i just found something. grr it annoys me so much! ]:

Have only one "viruses". Its the least thing I wanted to have in my computer. It affects everything, just like a domino effect. Once a virus was not detected by those expensive "anti-virus programs", they its too late for your files. That is if the virus is so destructive enough to cause you the trouble.

The only thing that does drive me up the wall, is when my high-speed connection wants to run slower then dial-up. Other then that I have no complaints. Computers for me are a life saver. I'm glad I can afford it.
