Short rant and warning on why you should never update vista or windows. JMHO. A year back I got a puter with vista home. So after I get it set up and my old software installed ect, I run the windows updates.
Boom! It immediately makes windows media player the default player for .avi's and maybe other media as well. Media Player Classic will no longer work. There are no settings you can change, nothing and you cant uninstall wmp as we know.
I search around and find out, too bad, one of windows updates does that and it is irreversable unless you have a sys restore.You are stuck with fricken WMP to play your .avi's on. WTF. I was outraged. Even vented to the guy at Best Buy. hehe
So I look and luckily I did have a few auto restores, restored it and got my beloved Media Player Classic back.
Guess what I have not updated anything from windows since and I wont. That whole update, update, update is a big software makers scam. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Computer runs fine. Updates aren't needed in 2009 like they were in 2000. Save yourself the headaches and never update anything unless you have to.
