What's the Worst Program You've Ever Used?

My vote goes to Finale, because it's a rickety, poorly-programmed, over-complicated, overbearing, buggy piece of shit.

I generally hate all those programs (and there are many) made by noobs who are just learning to program or sleazy twits and create some fake "corporation" image for themselves, and then offer trials of stuff that they want you to pay $76 or whatever ridiculous price for considering what the piece of shit actually does.

Stuff like, say a "flash ripper". All it literally does it go through a page on a site, find links / embedded objects of the filetype ".swf" and present them to you, touting that it's "ripped" or "hacked" or whatever.

Before in Finale I was getting an error every time I opened the window where you put in where you want playback to start, among other things. It wouldn't let me change anything and gave me this retarded "PLEASE USE A NUMBER 1 OR 0" for this repeat thing. IT WAS A FUCKING 1! I EVEN CHANGED IT TO 0 AND YOU STILL COMPLAINED. Thanks to this error, it basically means that I'll never be able to play that piece from the first bar ever again in the files existence on my hard drive, since I can't save the changes I made in the window.


And now, for some reason, I can't get Garritan's Personal Orchestra instruments to play. They installed correctly. All 1 GB of the goddamn files are there. They just don't work!


And I can only use the program on this computer for 30 days because, even though I payed fucking $300 for the program (Yes, I actually bought it) I can still only use it on ONE COMPUTER AT A TIME. I actually have to hook my laptop up to the internet, open finale, and fucking "DEAUTHORIZE" IT in order to validate the Finale I installed on my desktop.


For a program I payed so much fucking money for, it shouldn't have retarded little problems like this, and I should be able to use it however the fuck I want to. 

sounds like you have alot of rage there.

Worst program? Ummm...

Hm...

RMXP? 

I dunno.  Idon't usually use programs unless there are good reviews for it...

...yes, I'm shallow like that. Sometimes.

So then, basically picking, I'd have to say the least-advanced (worst), is Paint, even though said program is still completely functional and useful. It just needs layers. And opacity.

Nooo. Why I love paint is it's absolute simplicity and total non bloatness.

If you want those things, use a program designed for that. Paint.NET is pretty good, and is a nice compromise between barebones MS Paint and behemoth Bloatoshop.

ah, thanks.

Is it better than Graphics Gale? (which is what I'm currently experimenting with).

I didn't mean its simplicity is bad, I was just saying that sometimes other features are more useful. Although, it's always nice to be able to take credit for a complex piece of pixel art done solely in paint.

ANY serif product i started out creating a website with these when i was quite young. the software soon didnt work and hellp support were less then helpful .

not sure it clasifys as a program but windows add or remove programs is horrible.

REAL player

internet explorer.

REAL player

ooooh! Good one! I hate RealPlayer with a passion.

They're so unpopular and un-used, it's to the point where if someone puts up a .rm file on the internet, it's actually an INCONVENIENCE because then people have to go out of their way to download all this extra crap just to use it, when they could have, I dunno, just stuck to a file format that every standardized media player can already handle.

Trillian was pretty fucking horrible.

im with zypher trillian was crap, at first i liked it, then it disconnected and never worked again -_-.

Game Maker 7.

God, that thing sucked. It was so much "freedom," it made it too hard to create a simple game. Something a bit easier. :O

I don't think that makes the program "bad", it makes you a noob for not having a clue in using it.

It'd be like somebody getting TabIt but complaining, saying it's "shit" because they can't write anything decent in it.

solution: frooty loops LOL

Well, I know how to use Game Maker, it is a matter that I hate going through the tediousness of assigning what each and every thing must do. The matter of doing it with EVERYTHING gets so obnoxious I quit using it.

Mine would have to be Photoshop CS2....

The only reason why I'm using it is cause it has the history brush...why don't they have that on Elements 2.0? ;_;

there are a few that i really hate

outlook express
firefox
quicktime
gimp

gimp has crappy features and theres like 4 diffrent windows

firefox is the slowest browser that i have ever used

quicktime is crap compared to windows media player

outlook express is a useless program that just takes up space. JUST USE AOL MAIL!!!

but the WORST program in the world is AVAST it made my computer so much slower.(until i deleted it)
