I'm the idiot, Pietzki. Who woke you up? Read my article again, you stupid muppet, then get your facts straight before you go on a stupid rant 2 days late..... I could comment more, but you're obviously too friggin thick to waste it on dummy. Hmmm!! Lol. I’m the idiot, Pietzki. Who woke you up?

All you did was bash the article, and it wasn't even warranted BECAUSE THE FRIGGIN' LINK WAS RIGHT THERE ALL ALONG!!! Real constructive criticism is written in a neutral, even friendly tone (i.e. advice), not like your crappy bickering post. And now you get all defensive because you made an idiot of yourself by shooting your mouth off at martin even though the link was there. I for one have been quite happy with the software Martin suggests. Tell me one thing, if you dislike Martin's articles so much, why on earth are you still here? Either you're a troll, or just an idiot... Kindest regards, Pietzki ;) @vanillaman

Troll off please, thanks. And please try to get rid of all those nasty words and insults. I remove any more comments that make use of this foul language.

Yeah arsehole, and if you can't handle constructive criticism from users about your site, then take it down. You certainly have a great way to win support for it, if that's your attitude. I think you'll find that you have a habit of NOT including links to some of the programs you review, which by its nature is "pointless" and defeats the purpose. And, you'll also find that most users will probably find my advice about CNET very useful, just to be on the safe side. So, keep your nasty insults about users to yourself.

If you would have followed the first link you would have noticed that it leads to the official site with download possibilities. Maybe it would be better if you would continue your pointless accusations over at Cnet download.com or any other site but mine. Thanks for nothing.

I've learnt a long time ago that before you consider downloading anything Martin comes up with, check it out on CNET Download.com first.

Sometimes a reboot fixes it, sometimes it might require digging into the registry. This is one problem that's present in XP as well. As usual, no solution on the Microsoft site. Yet another problem is with ReadyBoost. Sometimes, when you safely remove the drive and put it back in later, Windows forgets that the drive is meant to be used for ReadyBoost. It completly ignores the ReadyBoost.sfcache file and acts as if that space is used by some other program (When I go again into the ReadyBoost dialog). Thus I'd end up deleting the cache manually and re-creating it all over again. What a waste. Once again, the Fix It site has no solutions. I think the Fix It site is more like an "How to" site, like 'How to Uninstall IE8' and such... Another common problem I come across is that sometimes Windows just stops recognizing a flash drive.

For instance, I couldn't find a solution to why so many programs, IE included, crash in Vista. I can't remember when was the last time a program crashed on me in XP without any reason. I sure hope Win7 is better. Nice find Martin, but I wonder how useful it’s going to be. For instance, I couldn’t find a solution to why so many programs, IE included, crash in Vista.
