Scratch

Thanks to WinFail Vista, I will be gone for a very long time. The problem is that Vista refuses to boot and won't let me access any type of Safe Mode. It hangs at the boot screen when booting normally and shows a black screen before the logon screen shows in Safe Mode.

Have you ever tried making a programming language?

Try reseting your BIOS by taking out the BIOS battery (looks like a big watch battery). If it still won't boot boot from an OS from USB or CD/DVD you should use linux as it gives more freedom when recovering files.

Interesting, but why would anyone get this stuff?  Most of it just makes our programs crash.  I mean, 'Macincrash'?  'Guicrash'?

Edit:  Wouldn't mind a syntax-colored,-code-hinting,-auto-semicoloning-(for-C,-C++,-C#,-Java,-etc),-and-all-that-stuff development environment, though.  As long as it doesn't crash anything.

What's that?  One of your projects?  That's why you should stop making programs that make stuff crash.

You see, it's the people like you that really tick me off. FYI, MacinCrash is an Anti-Apple word processor. IT DOESN'T CRASH ANYTHING. Maybe if you READ THE DESCRIPTIONS AND THE READ-ME'S INCLUDED WITH THE APPS, you'll see that NO HARM IS DONE TO THE SYSTEM. Crash Shell is a GUI for a program that aids in closing stubborn programs by telling the Dr.Watson debugger that the program crashed. And "WinFail Vista" is what I call "Windows Vista" because the OS is nothing but a poor, sorry excuse of software that isn't worth the C++ it's written in. Now PLEASE GO AWAY.

P.S. I recommend that you read the "Important Notes You Should Read" section, where it specifically says "No whining. All whinos will be reported instantly. No exceptions."

I'll tell you why anyone would get it; because it's professional desktop software that doesn't harm the system in any way whatsoever. Just because it sounds bad doesn't mean it is bad. I mean, COME ON PEOPLE?! Sounding and being is 2 different things! If you want to see an NTSoft-made virus, I'll show you an NTSoft-made virus...a la modernized CIH!

I'm planning to make a VB6 extension DLL currently codenamed "The Helper" which contains tons of wrappers and functions to make coding easier.

It was with the poor-quailty operating system. During WinDumb Vista's downtime, I was forced to use Linux Mint for awhile. Vista is worse than WinME. I'd rather use DOS than Vista. At least DOS doesn't crash the second you boot it.

Whoa, it's getting a bit too heated in here. 

I think right now is a good time to give a reminder about the Community Guidelines. It ask us to be respectful and give constructive comments on projects, but this can be extended to other things that Scratchers have designed. So let's remember to be constructive, not destructive, when commenting.

Likewise, let's remember not to lose our cool - hitting the report button and then letting the mods take care of the report is usually the best way to go instead of venting out in anger.

But if you really look at it, it appears that maxskywalker was just being a complete jerk for no good reason.

It's still not a good reason to vent out in anger (remember how andresmh says that replying to disrespectful comments is not OK?)

Like I said: "remember not to lose our cool - hitting the report button and then letting the mods take care of the report is usually the best way to go instead of venting out in anger".

Pffft.....I will never use VB.NET nor will program for its clunky .JUNK framework. 

VB6 FTW! 

I use VB.NET 2010 and it's easy to use... and isn't junky either.
