Spring RTS Engine

note the title,
I mean seriously I buy a computer 1 year ago it supposed to have tv tuner geforce 5900 gfx card and a sound card, ok i can live without the cool parts tv tuner and sound card but they gave me a fx 5200. then it began the day the warranty expired the hard drive failed completely died so i replaced it then when trying to reinstall windows it says it's not the same pc, but now it's in a state of crapness however today i had the last straw the boot sector failed so i booted up the windows disk and used the fixed boot command at which it restarted windows began to load then said it required a format then did it without my permission then after a 1 hour fix of my computer ie didnt install so i had to go to explorer and work my way through the piles of html to find the download link argh and i'm on dial-up untill i move in two weeks.
what should I do

While the shotgun sounds fun, they tend to have these little buttons under their cash registers that bring a bunch of unhappy police. I voted for it anyway.

Good lord, build a new one. Never trust fabricator fuckwits to handle your baby. You can build a dual core CPU PC with a 6800 for about $1500 these days.

#1: 5900 fx does not have a TV Tuner, at all. It does, however, have 'TV out' (S-video, DVI)
#2: If you got the wrong component, you should have taken it back right then and there.
#3: That error means that you did a straight copy of the HDD to another HDD. Windows doesn't like that, you'd need to do a clone.
#4: Bullshit on the format.
#5: Bullshit on the IE not being installed, thats litterally impossible.

In Canada!

*Mumbles about high prices in the UK...*

Err... actully, I could knock myself up a whole dulecore PC with a 6800 for less than £1000 mate, which realy aint much more than the canadian was saying in $, also if you know were the offers are you can get stuff cheap.

Infact... I could get the processor, graphics card, and 1 gig of ram for less than £500, and thats withouyt me shoping for teh best deal... i could probablie do better.
Plus 100 on a mobo, 50 on a hardrive, 50 on a case and a DVD drive, and thats £700 for a good computer.

Just needs a monitor and a mouse and keybord, but you can nick them off your last one (or spend the extra £300 you saved on my inital estimate of £1000)

A mate of mine (PT_bate_chapas) even uninstalled the freaking thing but that godam virus still opens from the messenger.

Also, i think that it has become required by law across the European Union that all (non-food and stuff) products sold go with a 2 years waranty. Meaning that they must repair your hardware and, if the problems persist, you can nullify the contract (the 2 years waranty is a contract where you pay x and they provide you with the hardware and the assurance that it will work for those years).

Note: I voted for the shotgun. Maybe i can hear about you on the news one of these days.

start>run>iexplore... no matter how well you think you have uninstalled IE this will bring it up... it's basically used as the rederer for all the folders and control panels anyways...

you CAN kill it by infecting it with enough spyware for it not to open anymore...

Install linux, it worked fine on ym old unstable systems where XP gave bluescreens at startup
