PC update

[Earthquake could be the next Joe Hachem thanks to getting back Win XP!]

Just letting you all know that the PC is now up and working thank God!

In the end it was only one DLL file that was corrupted in Win XP and once that was on the system it was all good.

The strange thing though is how much quicker Windows ME was. I would've kept using it had it not been for my favourite game right now not working on Windows ME, so I'm back to Windows XP.

New Thing Of The Week: Build a PC from odds and ends and have the bastard work!

[Thank God for Google Images! This was the funniest PC pic I could find...]

Okay, this week you can call me Michael J Fox as I go back to the future and use Windows ME for the first time in what seems like a millenium.

I am using my current PC but have shoved my old PC's C drive in there so I can get my PC semi-working (until I can get a new PC in the coming months).

The tough thing is that the IIRL is coming to the end of its season and I need to get things up to date on the website and doing training, etc. With my little sister back at home I need to have PC to myself so I can do the IIRL stuff as well as chat to peoples and play games, etc.

The only problem with that is last night (due to not having some of the software for the hardware on my system) I was running on a VGA display featuring 16 colours and 640 x 480 resolution. Also, my wireless adapter was not working.

Well, better to have a semi-working PC than not one at all. Tonight I attempt to resuscitate the PC with getting the software to match the hardware and hopefully will get all the IIRL stuff done tonight on time for once.

I have never really thought of myself as a PC repair specialist but I'll try my best until I do get a new PC (which can't be soon enough!).

Those mongrels strike again!

[Earthquake was an angry angry man... in a hat!]

One company you should never never never go to is Kensoft Technology in Burwood.

They were close to where I used to live and I bought two PCs from them 2-3 years ago with the lot (bar a monitor) for $600 per pc which was good. (One for me, one for my little brother)
But little did I know! First my pc dies and it's the power source thing, then it dies again and it's the hard disk. Now it's died again and it's the RAM and my operating system strangely dissapeared.

Could this be the same OS that my little brother complained about being pirated and then they claimed that it wasn't included?

Strange how it now has been deleted (maybe to cover their own arses).

Now, I have to rely on Windows ME until I get my new PC (which looks like being sooner than later now).

So, if any of yas see me online I'll be running on Verision 0.1 of ICQ or MSN (and I can't even use Firefox!).

And they're charging me $80 for the RAM too :(
