Tech support: It's a two-way conversation.

[KodiaX987]

This is an actual conversation that happened on an in-game help channel. Find the error.


Me: I have a problem: the game freezes whenever I attempt to quit it.
Person #1: Format your computer.
Person #2: Scan for spyware.
Person #3: Clean up your startup programs.
Person #4: Defrag.
Person #5: Reinstall XP.
Person #6: How old is your XP install?
Me: Two weeks fresh, fully updated and tuned to perfection, hardly any changes made to it otherwise.
Person #1: Format your computer.
Person #2: Scan for spyware.
Person #3: Clean up your startup programs.
Person #4: Defrag.
Person #5: Reinstall XP.
Me: My computer has only a negligible amount of fragmentation at worst.
Person #4: How can you be so sure??


I'm not certain whether those people are being serious or if this is some kind of sick joke.

Are you sure Persons 1 and 5 weren't the same guy?

I give better advice than that and I don't even know how to partition my hard drive. >_>
