Danger lurks in microsoft live-onecare

from WinCustomize Forums
Last week I downloaded this program just to check it out, After a few days I uninstalled it and had to reboot to finish the un-install. To my dismay, I could not boot back into windows. After 4 days of pulling my hair out, I went into my setup and had to boot from my installation CD and format my hard drive and reinstall windows xp... I feel like Microsoft put the screws to me on this program. Beware if you install this program. After a 90-day trial you have to pay a subscription.

It's never a good idea to install software on an already buggy computer & then blame a newly installed software for problems that arise & to be 100% positive that i was right I installed & uninstalled live & yep sure enough window reboots ok

I have Microsoft's Live One Care installed on 3 PC's in this household, and it hasn't caused any problems, such as the ones of which you speak - or otherwise. I would suggest you had an underlying problem prior to installation, and that it was the real cause of your issue.

Perhaps if you had your PC properly serviced, etc, it would install correctly...and yes, there is a subscription after 90 days, but the license covers 3 computers and is not bad value.
