A steady state-type program. Discards unwanted user changes at log off or reboot and has easy application-blocking.
I was exploring security on Windows XP and wanted a state-freezing system, so I can make dangerous changes and easily roll back. I purchased Clean Slate, played with it, was unimpressed and abandoned it. I don’t know what’s changed since those days, but this is a very complex and powerful program and I bet I could have put it to better use.

So I wanted to get City of Heroes – (2004 game) installed to try it out. I’ve been bored of World of Warcraft for the longest time, and a superhero-based game has been sounding like fun for some time now.
At this point neither Diablo 3 – (2012 game) nor Star Wars: The Old Republic were out. I just needed something to do.
But for some odd reason I could not get City of Heroes to work. It was definitely a DirectX issue, except DirectX refused to install! Hopefully someone out there can benefit from the hell I went through, and my notes would be useful..
