Drivering Us Mad

"Welcome To Windows Vista, Windows will now calculate how much of your immense system resources it can reasonably use up and then double that figure just for the fun of it".

At last, the welcome screen we had waited for for now nearing 4 hours of installation time. There it was.

"Click On this shiny button to continue onto your desktop"

Click.

"Now preparing you windows deskto-"

Crash. Reboot.

"Sorry about that, you see windows needs some Drivers to work properly. Normal versions of Windows just allow you to boot up without them and install them later but Vista really needs them RIGHT NOW."

Very Well.

"Oh no but you can't install them, can you? Cos you need to be IN vista to do that, and vista can't work without drivers..."

Ah well, I've worked in a computer shop for 8 years I know all about-

"Safe mode? Don't think so buddy. All you can do in there is realise that your computer has the capacity to work, but simply doesn't. Sorry"

Much swearing and random restarting with errors logs and all sorts later.

Windows boots perfectly. For no reason.

At All.

Install drivers.

It's fine...

...or is it?
