Ubuntu 8.04 What A Piece Of Junk
Apr 30, 2008
I thought I would download the new Ubuntu 8.04 and give it a try because all the Ubuntu nut jobs were saying how cool Ubuntu is with their new release. I installed Ubuntu on my machine. I tried Open Office Spreadsheet. I thought I would try to enter a Macro then run it. I then had to install Java to be able to run a macro. If I didn't know that I needed to use Synaptic to figure out how to get the Java update, I would be screwed along with many others who try this crap. Just FYI
OK, so Java installs. BFD. It works but it isn't that good. Now, lets play some music. I navigated to bobrivers.com to play a tune. I was prompted to install some more updates. Fine. Did that. The install went OK. Then I had to install a couple more updates. That went fine. Now I clicked on the song to play and the page just froze.
No wonder why Ubuntu is such a piece of crap. Can't play a simple tune from a web page. Now in Vista, I could navigate right to the page, play the song and I would be as happy as a clam in a whorehouse.

the main audience is "Vista" users. People who already spent a lot of money for an operating system, which they do want to use now. Ubuntu has a clear right of existence in it's area, but not in this group. If you like it better, fine. But don't try to spread your "religion" here when someone asks for help about a Vista problem.

I've just received a new computer from Dell. In it, is 1 1Tb HDD. My old Dell had 2 500Gb HDDs, which were mirrored across a RAID array. The idea being is that I had a copy of literally every piece of data I owned, so should something go wrong on one HDD, I wouldn't lose everything. In a bid not to lose everything, I rescued one of the 500Gb HDDs from my departing Dell PC (I got given a free upgrade due to ongoing technical issues involving my original computer) and have stuck it in my new PC.
It's connected via SATA cables, and has a power supply in to it as well, only windows doesn't seem to recognise this new drive. It's quite literally invisible. As one can imagine, this makes retreiving any data one may wish to recover exponentially more difficult. My old HDD was being run on a 32-bit Vista system, whereas my new system is 64-bit Vista.

Recently I had to restore my computer and now I am finding that I have a lot of junk mail going into my regular mail and not into the junk file. Is there a setting that needs to be changed?

I have got Auslogics Defrag program and after each defrag I do it tells me I have a number of junk files, at present 971 sometimes its way over 1000 and I then do a disk cleanup hoping to get rid of them, but after installing another game or program of some sort, again I am told I have several junk files.
I would like to know how I can get rid as it also tells me that they can slow the PC down and lessen performance, not that my PC is a slouch, far from it, but I still don't like the idea of junk files on my PC and would like for once to sort this out, as before I have never taken any notice of it, perhaps I should have, but thats me, untidy as always!

This is my second time around testing Vista ultimate 64 bit and after much testing I cannot believe what a heap of absolute rubbish this OS is. How many years did it take Microsoft to develop this junk? I have the latest drivers/software/ quad core intel 6700 CPU with a modern motherboard and running 8GB of RAM. Yeah....I anticipate that you are all screaming and tearing your hair out and gnashing your teeth because I have told the truth about this piece of OS junk.
Vista Ultimate will not remain stable if you load and use a substantial amount of software on your computer. Yet both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of XP Pro are relatively stable. I am a business man and I can tell you that vista is unreliable and a total waste of money. In fact microsoft should pay anyone to use this piece of rubbish and the amount of time wasted attempting to trace down problems.....

I have missing messages. They aren't in the in box and I NEVER get messages in the junk mail folder, but when I use my Iphone e-mail, it has all messages---regular and junk. Where are my junk mails in window mail? I am not getting many messages I need for business.

Is there any way to REMOVE the Junk Mail Box? I do not want any of my mail going to the junk mail box because it's too easy to miss mail you DO want that way. I want all downloaded mail to stay in the inbox until I move it. I always was able to DELETE the junk mail box in Outlook, and that is the way I prefer it. Why does MS have to make things harder instead of easier?!

Using Windows Mail. Junk mail box seems to have emptied itself. I tend to hold onto some junk mail that may be of interest but can't be bothered to read at that time. Obvious junk I delete from the junk mailbox. Now the junk mail box is completely empty? Has this happened to anyone? Is there any way of recovering these emails?

It has the Windows Vista OS installed (an upgrade to 7 is available FOC). He is now using --> X-Mailer: Microsoft Windows Mail 6.0.6001.18000. He tells me .... "All your emails are coming through as "Malevolent and Phishing" and go to my junk mail box"! I'm certainly not Phishing - nor am I malevolent! I am, though, using an iMac with OS X 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard) and Apple Mail Version 4.2. Is there a setting in Vista which needs to be 'adjusted' so that my friend won't receive warnings on receipt of email messages from me?

I have come across two computers in my family that fail to update to Vista SP2 with totally different error codes, and leading to different discussions on the community forums. One is a desktop and the other is a new Dell laptop. The latter gets error code 80070490. Wow this Microsoft quality control reminds me of the constant bugs I had when I was using Windows 3.0 back in the early 1990s, or the first Windows 95 release. I hope it's better in Windows 7!

In Windows Mail, I have the setting to block images set to on, so, whenever a message in html format arrives, if it has images and the sender was not set as trustable yet, it will block the images.
But, funny side is that the feature seems not to work for the junk emails which makes no sense at all. All my junk emails, if in html format and with images, images will be shown despite the setting.
Am I missing some other setting or this is supposed to be the right although odd behaviour for Windows Mail?

I was using Auslogics Disk Defrag, and I was told about "junk files" in the disks that I should scan and remove. When I click the link , it was trying to sell me the software. I'm not ready to buy yet. Any way to remove the junk files without spending money ? It does not identify the junk files and the locations, so I don't know how to look them up.

I think that Microsoft Windows Vista mail Junk filter should first look into defined rules before moving emails into Junk folder.

I am trying to permanently disable the Junk E-Mail filter in Windows Mail on Vista, but no matter what I try to do it still moves email to the "Junk Email" folder. This wouldn't be so bad if it were any good at it, but the problem is it moves a LOT of legitimate email. I have missed some very important emails because they are moved to junk. My ISP has a spam filter which is pretty close to perfect (Ironport), so I don't really get spam. I have set to "No Automatic Filtering" in options. I have disabled phishing filter in Internet Options and in Windows Mail. I have deleted all block lists etc.

I've tried dozen of times to install this update, but always failed. I have even downloaded it manually from Microsoft website, but no luck. Any idea what might be causing the problem? Office SP2 and Vista SP2 installations worked as a charm, no issues. EDIT: This is the logfile I get: Description: An error report containing information about the updates that failed installation has been generated. Update for Outlook 2007 Junk Email Filter (kb970012) failed to install.

Without trying to create controversy, but simply with the desire to use both
OS's on the same machine:
Installed: Dell motivated Vista Home Premium, SP1, 32 bit.
Capacity: Dual core Inspiron & 300GB HD, w. MS Virual PC (39MB, I believe),
290 GB C: w. Vista installed and 10 GB D: for recovery.
My question is: can I safely install ubuntu, v.7.10, in the virtual pc, with
the intention to dual boot?

They changed the name of Ubuntu because of legal issues. Here is the real link if you want to know about the INFERIOR OS that was called Ubuntu.
