    How do I avoid it?

    Use a non-Windows o/s.

    Why the fuck is there no fucking fix for this fucking problem yet? I paid for Windows, and I want it to fucking work.

    All of my Linux boxes work, yet I never had to pay for Debian or Gentoo. Why can't software that I paid for work properly?

    Ok, done venting. Thanks for that.
