      1. Hardly any hard drive space left
      2. Randomly blue screens and dies with no explanation beyond "FATAL ERROR LOL", usually when I'm in the middle of working on something I've put a lot of time into
      3. Paint Shop Pro 7 (I have 9 too, but I like 7's text features better, and it didn't USED to do this) and Adobe Acrobat screw up EVERYTHING 60% of the time when I attempt to use them anymore.

        1. Horrible video card.
        2. Slow processor.
        3. Windows XP Home Version.

        Other than that, it's fine. Plan on getting a gaming CPU sometime soon, anyway.

              1. Every once in a while it'll restart itself even if you're in the middle of something.
              2. Every once in a while the internet will shut off and it takes a while to get it back up.
              3. Every once in a while windows explorer will say that it encountered a problem.

                The only thing I hate about mine is that I work on it so much that's literally a Frankenstein computer. But god, do I love it.

                I called it wrong, so long ago. I guess this needs to be changed.

                  Revised complaint:

                  1. I went with an IDE hard disc, which now gives me grief as few upgrade mainboards have two IDE channels anymore. I'm already going to have to chuck $80 worth of DDR400 memory, no matter what I upgrade to… I don't also want to lose a $80 hard disc.

                  2. The top panel can't be unbolted so I can fix the terrible paint on it without tearing the whole thing apart and being without a machine for a full day while the case dries.

                  3. I picked a processor class which won't overclock worth a hill of beans, and proceeded to mate it with a mainboard which is even worse for that. At best, I can get 8% more CPU speed, and that isn't stable. Meanwhile, other people are running their machines at 40, 50% over stock.

                        1: Unpredictable with how fast it downloads things

                        2: Has trouble shutting down sometimes

                        3: Often freezes up for a while, then continues like nothing happened at all

                                  1. This annoying chkdsk (check hard drive for errors) appears and you need to press it within 10 seconds or else it starts checking… The problem? It stops at a certain part and never progresses. Annoying when you turn it on and go to do something.

                                  2. Takes long to load sometimes, which I find bizarre because the RAM is 1.5 gigs and the processor is 2ghz. Cleaning the dust doesn't help this one.

                                  3. Prone to crashing under multitasking, which is annoying because I have several photo-editing programs open when working.

                                  oh yes…

                                  4. Abusing the internet causes it to crash and burn. Seriously, couldn't they just limit it instead of forcing it to shut off? I can't download any torrents higher than 30 kb/s on torrents because of this stupidity. Seeding is just out of the question.

                                  Though I guess this isn't half as bad as most people's problems.

                                      The fact that my computer randomly starts itunes, slowing down the whole damn process of everything. And the Error reports that bombard me whenever I use IE.

                                                1. It constantly pulls a 'Do you wish to run this script?' error every time I try to use my scanner. Why is that annoying? Because the damn HP program freezes up if I don't hit 'yes' within five seconds and then I have to wait for at least six minutes for ALT+CTRL+DELETE to do it's job and remove the frozen program from my desktop.. And there really isn't anything WRONG with my scanner or it's related programming! It's only when that damn scripts error pops up that all hell breaks loose. ..
                                                2. My headphone port isn't working anymore. Which means I have to hold one of the speakers to my ear whenever my mother and sister are downstairs lest I want to have the sound of my music and anime compete with the sound of the TV.
                                                3. That's pretty much it.. Any other complaints I have are usually related solely to a certain program I have installed and not to the entire machine. shrug
                                                Edit: Actually now that I think about it.. My other biggest pet-peeve are those 'this program isn't working would you like to send an error report to microsoft.com?' pop-ups I get whenever my Morrowind game freezes. Normally they would be appreciated, but given Morrowind's known glitchiness and the fact that said error reports take a lot of time to load after the fact, they've become the bane of my existence. .
                                                . Besides, what can Microsoft do to help me with a glitch in a game that was created by Bethseda?

                                                  1. Is creepy and goes by an online handle known as fondlestheghost

                                                  2. When I was 12 it tried to "cuddle" with me but I would have it

                                                  3. Constantly calls despite the restraining order.

                                                    @Qualms:

                                                    1. This annoying chkdsk (check hard drive for errors) appears and you need to press it within 10 seconds or else it starts checking… The problem? It stops at a certain part and never progresses. Annoying when you turn it on and go to do something.

                                                    2. Takes long to load sometimes, which I find bizarre because the RAM is 1.5 gigs and the processor is 2ghz. Cleaning the dust doesn't help this one.

                                                    3. Prone to crashing under multitasking, which is annoying because I have several photo-editing programs open when working.

                                                    oh yes…

                                                    4. Abusing the internet causes it to crash and burn. Seriously, couldn't they just limit it instead of forcing it to shut off? I can't download any torrents higher than 30 kb/s on torrents because of this stupidity. Seeding is just out of the question.

                                                    Though I guess this isn't half as bad as most people's problems.

                                                    That's four 😞

                                                    ….

                                                      1. A lot of small programs that don't even eat up memory/hardware never seem to want to load up. Regardless of Japanese language support or not, Big Bang Beat never works, nor does the file to set up game options, which is barely any kBs in size.

                                                      2. It's a Windows ME computer but I run Windows XP on it, and it comes with barely any hard drive space. 11 GBs altogether? Are you serious? I have no idea where 9 of those gigs went, so I resorted to an external hard drive.

                                                      3. I really want to upgrade its memory, processor, video card, and stuff like that, but it's so old, with PCI stuff, that I can't find anything decent to support it.

                                                        2: This damn virus who keeps failing to sucesfully enter the computer. Its like a fly bumping into a window.
                                                        3: A relative installed Bearshare and no matter how many times I set it to not start up when I switch the computr on, it STILL does.

                                                        that thing is a spyware or was it a virus…cant remember

                                                          3. It's not mine, it's the only real working computer in the house I'm allowed to use, i.e., my brother's a kleptomaniacal paranoid git about his garbage.

                                                          2. I can't favorite anything for some weird reason, I have to go through some huge sidequest to do that shit, and even if I do, it never saves it.

                                                          1. The computer takes random variables (based off of things such as the time of day, the color of the sky, and other unknown factors) and creates this HUGEASS equation that picks a random number between 3 and 80, and that's how many minutes I have to get my interwebs stuff done before the computer inexplicably disconnects for no reason whatsoever. I shit you not, I've had to restart the thing four times in the course of 2 hours. My brother then comments on how his fucking laptop has the internet just fine. I shoot myself just so I can roll in my grave.
