Living in the world of software and is does not someone of material, usually need confidence that the equipment is ok. My new PC (no name because I like the and this is my 2nd) began starts for the first time yesterday and frozen to halfway through it. Death as a dodo. It was the end of the installation for Windows 7, which was not a good sign. Fortunately, he had the good grace, not die until after I had received the login account setup, and it has sussed LAN.
Windows 7 does not really differ much from XP (although 64-bit, more ram, more gentle and softer but otherwise identical) and after the safe mode startup and rooting in the event log viewer, I find the error - error code cryptic "c:\windows\Pather\setup.etl" 3221225485 and employment have fortunately as Google. Certain aspects of the power management was not pleasant and moving blue my PC for testing. Disabling the high precision event timer to BIOS Setup screen management fixed it and it is now usable at least. Next comes the fun bit. Migrating my my old PC without reinstalling software...
Frustration 2 has discovered that a web server rent for some web sites had been "improved" to a new server box and that they had missed some Apache modules such as mcrypt broken form captcha contact and gzip compression modules. Two well heard arrived at the end of week, which is at this time support weekends off the ground, so I expect answers Monday.
The point is that change is not always a good thing and a certain amount of "friction" comes with the territory. You need patience allows attitude "try a few things. My Manager at work never put at its software except for firearms.
Put yourself in shoes user of your try and anticipate problems with upgrades, etc., all errors, provide test tools and Advisor of what to do if key files are missing etc. The most important lesson is never trust the user to that say that they are "not I delete the file password", te confused and so on. Always check with tools, newspapers, etc.
