After nearly 7 weeks without having to suffer Windows in any of its incarnations, I returned to work today and had the pleasure of XP on my horribly clunky Thinkpad. Very shortly after booting it I was presented with the following error message.

What a wonderful dialogue box and what a ‘Useful tip’. A Google search (Broken link http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=BSTAC~1.exe) suggests it is something to do with the Windows Bluetooth stack. Oh I dont fucking care you stupid program, I just wanted to message somebody, you worked 7 weeks ago, why are you arsing around now.

As an aside, I notice the 8.3 filename, which still at some level seems to exist in Windows XP. How quaint of it!
