This is an XP group, as its name indicates. As you're running Vista you
should repost to microsoft.public.windows.vista.games.

Old or not, non-techie or not, I'd also recommend including there a LOT more
detail (name of game, exact error messages, exactly what you do, exactly
what happens) as well as reading back over your post to see what you're
inflicting on other people before you hit Send - I found your description
abstruse. Capitalisation and punctuation will also go a long way to helping
your cause. Several other respondents in this newsgroup give good links in
their signatures for how to write a well-crafted question.

"all i wanted was some help" - well, you came to the wrong place for help
with a problem on a *Vista* machine. Why would you post to an XP group? That
puts you on the back foot straight away.

"inflicting what?" Well, as I said, your poorly-spelled out problem.

I pointed you to the right group and made some suggestions for improving
your post that would increase your chances for a speedy solution. Wouldn't
you call that help? I find your abusive reaction bizarre.

As you've really annoyed me, I'll increase your blood pressure even more by
pointing out that in your description alone:

"i hit install on I drive by accindent and everytime i insert disk i get
I/error program cannot be found and i dont know how to change it?"

I found these:

Spelling mistakes

"i" -> "I" (x4)
"accindent" -> "accident
"everytime" -> "every time"
"disk" -> "disc" (debatably)

Grammar mistakes

"dont" -> "don't"
"...everytime i insert disk..." -> "a disk", "the disk", "my disk"...?
"quoting" an error message without speech marks
"?" at the end of a "sentence" that contains no question

Consider yourself even more lectured to.

Good luck over at the Vista group; I'll be watching with interest to see how
you handle responses there.

Ta ta.

My, such charm and grace. I bet your conversation is a sheer aural delight.

My motivation (before it was soured by annoyance at your attitude and
language) was to assist you in getting better help if/when you re-post in an
appropriate group. You're of course free to reject such advice - or
"correction", if you defensively insist on interpreting it as such. Good
luck with life.

Not watching this thread any more due to boredom, but please go ahead and
have the last word - I'm sure it'll be a corker.

Damn, you guys need to get better newsreaders.

Spike, ya blew it man, free tech support was YOURS for the taking, and
all you had to do was suck up that pride and copy/paste your question to
another newsgroup.

Olórin, yer an idiot for using stupid characters in your name, and
would it of been so hard to suggest uninstalling the program from the
control panel and trying to reinstall the game?

Then further suggest if he needed help to respond with his system specs
and game name, and maybe to the vista group?

This may be an XP group, but it's also a Windows group, cut the "old
guy" some slack. Not everyone is as young and youthful as yourself.

Andy - Well, I'm using Microsoft's own news client offering in an MS group
on an MS server... Not sure about the "stupid character" in Olórin - it
hasn't been a problem when you've replied to my posts in the Vista group.
I'm using OE configured as it comes out of the box, but I might just go off
and research encoding settings - I saw a recent thread about it on
(appropriately enough) a Tolkien group.

I honestly didn't (and don't) know what "hit install on I drive" means -
closest I could think was that he installed a program to his I:\-drive
instead of C:\ or D:\ or whatever. But I dismissed that as unlikely - I
don't imagine many sellers provide new machines with that sort of
partitioning (though yes, he could have meant secondhand but "new" *to
him*).

He could have come back with "OK, where's the Control Panel?" and, not
having Vista, I'd have had to say I don't know. Could be he'd have to go to
Start > Complicated Stuff > My Settings > Computer Control Panel > Program
Installation Manager, with passwords to enter and UAC warnings to fend off
along the way, for all I know. Thought it best to point him to the better
place from the off.

Yep, could've cut him some slack, have done for others in the past - but he
really made such minimal effort with his post. Didn't mean to nark him, he
just took it completely the wrong way - always a danger with text-based
communication.

Anyhoo, nice chatting; back to business as usual.
