Here's mine: dump that pathetic POS and get a Mac and never have to 
think about this stupid crap again.

I love hearing about how much more complex Win machines are, even for 
the simplest of tasks, so here's an alternate pair of suggestions you 
might find more practical:

1. You might try a site called macwindows.com which probably has the 
info you need on decoding what error -5023 is and what if anything you 
can do about that.

2. Take Windows problems to a Windows list.
