I agree that it can be extremely frustrating when your computer isn't
doing what you want it to do.  Even worse when it's preventing you from
running anything at all.

And I've noticed the OP has maintained radio silence; it's the rest of
us carrying this debate on for him =P

While I have sympathy for the frustration, I still think most of our
mamas raised us better than to yell at people when we don't immediately
get what we want =)

I've annoyed some folks in my time, too.  All you can do is keep on
keepin' on, and hopefully learn from your mistakes and try not to repeat
your transgressions.
