This computer is driving me insane. I tried updating IE from 7 to 8 and it won't install. I can't get the stupid thing open either, and haven't since my antivirus swept all those nasty little viruses into a vault. Can't download Yahoo! Messenger either, and before I swept all those nasty viruses into the vault, it wasn't working right either. I so hate computers! I have half a mind to look into a Vista Upgrade... but I ain't got the stupid money for it! Argh! Stupid Computers!

you got that right LOL I don't watch much television. Usually it's movies or whatever netflix has (but currently I'm banned from using netflix in the house as it's my landlady's account and I got in some trouble a while back)

AFK?

Yeah, I had tried that before sending you the message. I had to do it about ten times before it finally popped open.

Never mind, I fixed it, just took some tinkering

Um, Hoss... how do you unstick a CD rom drive? Mine won't open. I have two but... the main one won't open.

Happy Birthday Deputy. How old are you this year? 21 and holding?

I was running late due to dinner, but I'm on now and in the chat room for the Easter chat.

Yeah, it was a loose expansion card. It's fixed now though, but man that could have been embarassing. Now let's hope this backup card doesn't go up like the other one did. The card in my 98 computer isn't compatible with this machine.

OMG, I fixed my computer... it was a combination of a bad video card, and the other video card being loose... yes my computer has two video cards LOL... but I am up and running again. Still need to do a complete reinstall of XP, but I am up and running again.

Hoss, I am such an idiot. I got the disk today and it turned out it was microsoft office xp pro, not microsoft XP Professional... but that isn't why I'm an idiot. I have two video cards installed into the computer. Well, shoulda known the one was going bad because of the way it was acting, and then i checked the other one which wouldn't work... so I decided to switch the hard drives in my computers to see if that helped any... and OMG... i discovered the second video card was just loose... but i still need to find an XP disk for that virus... but I am back up and running at least for now.

No idea. Hope so. I am so exhausted. Spent the last three days landscaping the yard, which triggered an attack which exhausted me even more, and on top of it, hospitals seem adamant about giving me meds for an allergic reaction which it isn't but benadryl is a sedative so it relaxes me which helps me breathe... which makes me tireder. Instead of crocheting at the hospital like I usually do, I was knocked out from exhaustion ... but emotionally I feel much better than I have for the past week or two. Little down from the attack but still feel good.

I am such an idiot. Today is a holiday... no mail delivery.

Amen to that. Hopefully it comes in the mail and does what I need it to do. Also hoping the tiller works today so I can finish my flower bed today too. Would have finished yesterday but it needed fuel... and it has to be a fuel oil mixture. Going to be busy, busy, busy today.

Its been there, I just never paid any mind to it. It is just a computer my landlady's old tenants left behind... should get the XP disk tomorrow. Hopefully it will work but I also have my doubts. I hate technology. Never does what I want or need it to do.

Well... got it out of safe mode and it froze again.. and now it won't fix with the scan disk. Hopefully the XP disk comes in the mail but somehow I don't think it will work.

Also, I think the 98 has a virus in the boot files. Something called the chip away virus keeps coming up in the boot logs.

I may not be on much the next few days. Got some things to work out, and the only way I know how is yard work -- my landlady's dog passed away last night.
