Need Help choosing which OS! Nothing lasts.......
As many of you know, NOTHING LASTS FOREVER. Same thing with these SHITTY Microsoft Products. Many here knows that I also have a P-III system, which might not sound very intresting, However, the other hardwares used are, espically the mainboard.
My system setup:
Intel Pentium 3 800E (copper) 133MHz system bus
A-bit SA6R Mainboard
Creative Sound Blaster Live! Value
ATI All-In-Wonder Rage 128 PRO
Lite-On 16x/48x DVD/CD-ROM driver (model# 163)
Plextor 12/10/32A
However here the problem. I tried all Microsoft OSs. Nothing lastes. I tried Windows 95 OSR2, Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 200 Pro. The result? This system doesn't last for like a month, then it's time to re-format, and re-install everything. I also can't use my Corel Linux since someone uses it for JAVA programming using IBM Visual Age for Java.
SOMEONE PLEASE SUGESSTION HOW DO I KEPT MY SYSTEM UP AND RUNNING FOR LONGER!

Who is making the determination that a format reinstall is called for? You? A "techie" friend or a tech support rep? I'll tell you a little secret....I used to do tech support for Dell...the new techs favorite solution was a "format reinstall" I suggest you do a little OS troubleshooting..check your startup proggies..check the registry..check the system files for corruption. Has there ever been a virus on the harddrive? Some nasty viruii will invoke the IO machine code commands on the hardrive controller directly and write themselves out of the range of Bois int13h and the dos write int21h..that means in plain lingo that a format will not erase them..you have to debug the hardrive using assembly code..maybe thats the problem? A longshot but it's worth lokking at.
