Restored and chrome

Windows Vista and Windows 7 users beware.  I have installed an NDAS driver from Ximeta to enable my network drive over my home LAN.  Though it used to work perfectly on my old WinXP machines, the driver screws the newer Windozes big time.  By big time, i mean BSOD.  O yeah, BSOD occurs in Win7 too. And since it was in a messed up state, there’s no way to uninstall the offending driver, manually or automatically.  Luckily, there’s system restore.  Just clicked my way into a pre-install state bliss.

On a side note: Chrome browser is not for me.  It just doesn’t meet my need.  This browser just keeps on timing me out of any secure site.  It’s fast alright, even its timers.
