built from scratch so I'm not sure how it's already bugged from day 1, all new components, brand new SSD drives all in
raid 0, Windows 7 new straight from the box. :/ What programs do you have installed on your computer? If you have a
CD/DVD burning program installed on your computer, can can mess up your autoplay. It's happened to me before I
reformatted and made me think my dvd drive was broken. I had Nero and Itunes installed and they didn't like each other
so it caused that problem. I could NEVER get the problem fixed. Also, what type of drive was it, Caviar Black, blue? I
heard lots of bad stuff about the Caviar Black.
Illustrator works fine for me and I have absolutely no problems with it's interface. I've trained on Adobe products all
my life, I find nothing wrong with their interfaces since I'm so used to it ^^;
We can't, its so damn shitty. I plead with my boss to buy adobe or get something else but they don't listen. Also since
we have thousands of fonts on our computer, no font managing program works with corel. It takes my computer at work like
5 minutes to load all the fonts. So it's not my problem when my work takes extra long due to a horrible slow computer
that's not even duel core, and the shitty pen tool in it to trace logo's people can't send us in eps format.
*SSSSSSSSSSSSigh, long rant was long. XD*
Operative word there being Windows. xD It can stuff up randomly by you just looking at it sideways. In your case it
could be a combination of raid and Windows not liking each other very much. I'm not sure exactly, but it's probably
that. Well, one day the Blu ray drive worked and with no change, the next day it didn't. :/ Windows had an update or
something and it stuffed up most of the hardware drivers. Only way to fix it is with a format which is coming up
sometime soon. I can't remember which type, but I know a few other people who had the same problem. One of them said to
me that "I buy any brand of hdd apart from WD" and I can see why. xD Data recovery is not a pleasant process.
I'm just thankful that with the power of Linux anyone can do it with absolutely no cost apart from not being able to use
your computer for a day while everything copies off. Data retrieval being worse $2k my arse, it's an overnight job with
Linux and practically anyone can do it. Bloody scammers ruining the industry.
It's only really Illustrator interface that bothers me, I don't really mind the rest of the Adobe stuff. :) Might be
because I learnt on Inkscape first.
Your boss is such a cheap arse. :/ GIMP is free, does the same stuff as PS, is stable unless your computer sucks and is
tablet compatible. It's like a 20 meg download and it's full of free of open source plugins that even animate for you. I
can make a half decent computer for $600 and that's with expensive parts sourced in AU - if he owns a business it'd
barely dent his wallet to actually build decent machines. :/ No professional I've heard of uses Corel by choice unless
they doing it for "fun" because they know all too well that it randomly explodes too often to be used for
professional. You know, Inkscape has a bitmap tracing tool in it that can do simple things like logos pretty well. *poke
poke* The only problem might be exporting the trace because you need a decent processor to actually beam it out.
