Software that needs updating…
« on: March 12, 2008, 08:49:54 AM »
I know I’ve moaned about this before but it does piss me off so much!   Angry9:

I wanted to listen to radio 4 this morning on my new PC. I didn’t have the necessary software installed (real Player) and couldn’t find a way around it so I downloaded and installed it.  ::)

In the process you have to answer all sorts of questions like ‘do you want google toolbar?’ do you want this to be the default player for your MP3, then register an account, etc.  ::)

So finally the bloody thing gets up-and-running and says: -

A software update is available – click here to download it now. I’ve only had the bloody thing for two seconds!  Banghead

So off it goes, downloads the whole bloody thing again and makes me jump through all the questions all over again – how shite is that?  Banghead

I’ve practically missed the whole of the Today programme while it was doing it!  cussing:

Bastards!

Can't you just listen to it through the tv?

If my TV was in my office yes...  ::)

I also get it on British Forces Broadcasting but the radio waves don't penetrate into my subterranean lair…  noooo:

Has Libby Purves been led astray? Doesn't seem the type.

She never purved until that incident with a cold, wet nose in the shower.
