Stupid new Windows Media Player. Would it have killed the makers to add in the old "add to library" right click feature? Sweet goddesses, how am I meant to put things in?

Stupid. Frakking. "New and Improved". Bloody. Useless. Unhelpful. Vista.



): I want my old laptop back.



ETA: No, really. Where the £%_* are my files, Media Player? Why can't you just show me "All music" in the library? Why don't you have that wonderful dropdown option in the "Now playing" bit where I used to be able to switch between any artist or album or ALL MUSIC or whatever? In what way are you an advanced model of the one I used to have? In every way possible, you are inferior, and oh so incredibly £$**ing annoying.

Repairing the other laptop is getting better and better value for money the more this one annoys me. I've never been reduced to tears of fury by Windows before. Well done, Microsoft. Well done indeed.



ETA: *insert copious amounts of swearing here* IhateitIhateitIhateitIhateitIahateit. And it won't even let me download an older version of media player and go back to that, because "there is a newer version currently installed on your computer" and oh my god, nobody could *possibly* prefer something that was made more than a year ago! Because it's New And Improved! Have What We Tell You To Have! Don't Choose For Yourself! You Know Nothing, Foolish Consumer! Obey! Upgrade!

DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!


*kills small fluffy animals*

Jack and Iantobear are no longer safe.

Vista is evil.

I'm sorry about your laptop :( mine is sitting dead and forlorn while my dad writes angry letters to fujitsu siemens, who refuse to look at it.

You may not be able to get it but most vendors allow you to roll back to XP. It might be worth checking.

Time for Linux? ;)

Oh no! *hides the small fluffy animals!* Let's send fierce!Ianto after the folks at Microsoft who keep "improving" their software!

(I've managed to avoid Vista so far...I hear it's awful)

You can always go into "Add/Delete Programs" and delete WMP, right?

And you must be really pissed at this computer. I've never seen you swear anywhere before, let alone so many times. =(

I can babysit your bears for you, if you need to. And I'm always here if you need to rant.

Sorry about your old (and new) laptops. Much hell to Vista, that's for sure.
