Here is the deal, I usually do not have "problems" with software I rather consider those "challenges". What I have "problems" with are uncooperative/stupid hardware and people; then...

Hammer
-- Very useful when dealing with uncooperative/stupid hardware. Once you hit it with a hammer there is no doubt it has to be replaced, stop trying to fix what can't be fixed you SOB!

Frying pan
-- Very useful when dealing with uncooperative/stupid people. If the SOB keeps trying to fix what can't be fixed, hit him/her in the head with the frying pan. If needed you can always claim it was a kitchen accident.

Bottle of brandy
-- Very useful to deal with myself when all hope is lost because of either uncooperative/stupid hardware or uncooperative/stupid people. If even after the hammer/frying pan treatment both uncooperative/stupid hardware and people keep commited to make your life misserable, then you go for the bottle of brandy
