Okay. I've never owned a PC before. Used, but never owned. Bear with me.
1. Why are all the images fuzzy? I mean online. They're all very low quality and hard to make out. Like, say, user icons. Fuzzy. And any new pics people post. Fuzzy. Goddamn it. How do I fix?
2. FUCK YOU MICROSOFT WORD. It's my only writing program and I CAN'T LOAD IT. It asks for a certificate of authenticity product key, which I found and entered, and then it tells me no, that's not a valid product key. YES IS BLOODY WELL IS. I've checked and double-checked and triple-checked it about a tousand times. It's the only one I have! STOP TELLING ME IT'S NOT VALID! And the really frustrating thing is that I can't access any of my WIPs OR a certain beta I wanted to finish without getting into Microsoft Word. The online customer service is extremely confusing, and -- wait for it -- I haven't been given an "AuthCode" to make off-campus phone calls on our phone yet, and our dorm is the old thick-walled thing that blocks all cell phone reception. I'M TRAPPED AND I CAN'T EVEN CALL FOR HELP.
Die, Microsoft. Die and rot in hell.

You may also want to make sure your color settings are on True Color (32-bit)--go to Start Menu > Control Panel > Display > Settings. Or something like that. If that doesn't work, try changing the resolution.
