Why my weekend sucked

why did they choose blue.  Is it so you can get depressed?

 

You would think it would be easy, but for some reason, this PC has a temper. Install something wrong and you just have to re-do it. I have an A4-tech mouse too (DIT 4 button 2 wheel - awesome) but the driver is completely hosed, and not 'compliant'. I accidentally clicked 'allow' (from WINDOWS UPDATE!!!) and it crashed the PC, didn't look like it installed, but the mouse would randomly shut off. I switch mice and just no power to the mouse. reinstall solved it. f'in MS update drivers for mouse, NIC, and video all f up this PC I wish they could get it straight. I had to reinstall windows 4 times to get it right. Reminds me of the day when doing Win 98 B installs and you had to do everything in the right order or else start over buddy and try to remember what you did last time, 'cause you have to do it every 6 months to keep it humming....

 

OH MY GOD. Someone completely hates me. this thing above was my work PC and I had to have 3 pcs at home to make up for the work I couldn't get done last week, and I was going to take my laptop with me to work on stuff M-W and guess what?

The LAPTOP JUST CRASHED. Like big time. as in 'the following file is missing of corrupt: WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/CONFIG/SYSTEM" and guess when this happened?

AFTER RUNNING WINDOWS UPDATE MOTHER F'ER I am going to shoot someone or have a heart attack, either way, someone is dying. I think I am going to cry.

 

This is an attack of Murphian proportions. Everything that could possibly go wrong with my computers this weekend has gone wrong. I mean, I just got the project wrapped up and e-mail off, and was thinking to myself, the only thing that could mess this all up is if the laptop crashed on me. I thought to myself, Murphy's Law man, what can go wrong, will go wrong, and lo and behold.

Hail to Murphy. God of %$#@^@%$^$^@$%^%@$^#^%@^^%$##$@^@$#

 

Oh it gets better. I put in a windows CD and ran recovery console....and it couldn't find any HARD DRIVE.

 

no, not a virus. not a network issue. I run KAV 2011 and never a problem. the laptop issue I don't know what happened. Never have any problems with windows update. The desktop issue is something I was aware of, just forgot what not to do and for some reason it's not something that is undo-able, the system will always be glitchy until you re-install.

Not just this either. For instance, I was installed a system (XPSP2) and did the XPSP3 update but didn't reboot 2 extra times afterwards and had problems. Then another time after the XPSP3 install when you still have 140 updates and #29 is usually Internet Exploder 8, I accidentally clicked "do not agree" and then it proceeded to run other updates and screwed up IE8 so it didn't work right. I uninstalled it and re-installed it but it never ran right, so I just wiped it clean and started over, and I since then remember to very carefully select the right thing during that update.

Deal with windows long enough and you know how to do it right, and wrong.

Haven't tried looking at disk in BIOS. It's an IBM which has screwed up ways of doing things...

 

BIOS is a configuration utility that lets you set different things on the machine. It has nothing to do with safe mode. Safe mode was the first thing I tried. It acted like it was trying to load it, basically got to the point where 'safe mode' was in the 4 corners, then the IBM recovery thing took over. Like I said IBM does things different (and I don't like that, but we got a deal 'cause my dad worked for IBM for 35 years) so there you go.

 

PC Load Letter? What the F---

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta...
