| So I'm at school, installing Windows 2000 on a computer that was ridden with viruses, adware, and spyware so much it's not funny. And now I'm installing the ATI drivers for the video card. Hey guess what! The setup program has bitmaps in full colour, when the only thing it can do currently is 16-colours. It happens all the time. Anyone else see stupid stuff like this with driver installs (or maybe other setup programs)?  |

As I recall, the NVIDIA driver packages have full-color wallpaper, even though you'll most likely be installing them on a 16-color screen when you first get the video card. Creative's Sound Blaster drivers and a lot of Taiwanese motherboard drivers/tools tend to be the same way (the latter are the worst, since motherboard manufacturers like to go way overboard with colorful, badly-rendered logos and widgets).  |

I guess it's because they know how to tell that specific card how to do more than 16 colours.  That kinda thing always ticks me off though. Programs that come on a CD and tell me I don't have a CD drive, yeah OK then...But I've seen worse. Some, er, 'unofficial patching' software comes complete with crappy music and special effects, even though you only even need to run it for 2 minutes once. (And they use .nfo files with the DOS character set. Hello? This isn't 1982! .nfo is a reserved file type and nobody uses the DOS character set; get with the times!  ) |
