Hmmm, I don't remember when was the last time I visited the CIC (or any other site for that matter...), for I've been strageling to bring my computer back from the land of the dead in the past few <days>/<weeks?>/<months?!>.
This pice of junk, which I've bought last year crushed about every 5 mins. Just to play it safe, I formatted my hard drive. Then, after several hours in which I've spent instaling programs, the damm thing crushed, and kept on crushing the next times. I gave it to someone to find what was the problam, and he said it was the power supplier's fan. I replaced the fan, only to figure that the entire thing doesn't work right, 'cause it burned my new fan too. Bought a new power supplier, still doesn't work.
Turns out the fan on my CPU is fried too. Changed that, and it turns out my CPU is fried. Ok, I need to buy a new one (still haven't done that). In the mean time, I need to use what I have, so I want to install things from the top. I format the thing, and begin installing WinCrush98 again.
Here's the *fun* part: I use my dad's copies of Win & Office. My dad has a minimal understanding with computers, and he thinks he knows the best. If you saw the copies he has (which were once new and shiny), you'd think that they were run over by a heavy truck several times (I keep on telling him to watch them, or at least allow me to keep 'em, but hey, what do I know? :MAD: ).
Fine, so I give my computer to someone who installs win98 on it. I start installing things again, and just as I finish installing my antivirus, WinCrap says my registry has errors in it, and that it'll all be alright if I'll press to confirm (the olny option I had). Computer restarts, registry wiz appears, runs it's tests, tells me the errors were fixed by using an old backup of the registry. System start again, and as soon as win**** start again, I get a critical error about exploror and can do nothing excpt shut down usin alt+ctrl+del. This thing happnes every time after that. My dad gets mad at me and blame the anti-virus (which, BTW, he himself use), yet I say it has to be with Office, since it has exploror 5 in it. We take the computer back to put win on it, and I start installing things again, and after I finish installing office, the same thing that happened before, happens again (that was an hour ago).
If you want to guess why that happened, I'll give you a hint: The sand-like substence on the CD might have something to do with it. Anyway, my dad just went out from the country to a business meating, and he'll be back next week, and I have no intentions about taking care of the box in my room which some would call a computer.
I saved money, and I'll just buy a new computer without the things I can use from the old one like the monitor and the rest of the thing which actually work
.
Oh yeah, and I won't be here for a little while.
