Computer woes

Feb 06, 2005 00:50

So, my computer finally gave in this evening. *rolls eyes* I was rearranging some things and needed to restart the system, and then suddenly all went black, and I could not get back to the programmes. All was literally dead. I had done lots of virus scans and such earlier, so I was quite sure it was not a nasssty virus, trojan, or worm giving me such a treatment. :p

I could not find my start-up floppy for Windows (I'm perfectly organised fro cases like that, you know), and was nigh on giving in. I thought I could call a friend tomorrow about it. But well, I was restless, and tried several MS-DOS commands and combinations. Finally I got that far that I had access to the CD-ROM again. After that I was tired enough and could not configure my internet settings properly. After two hours I finally found out that it was too easy to imagine, and I always had overlooked one simple, tiny, WEE thing. *looks cross-eyed and coughs miserably*

Well, I'm back now. ;)

Oh yes. I just prepared another start-up floppy. :p

The most amazing thing actually was that I stayed notoriously calm while trying to revive my computer. I might have had no internet access for a few days now!! o_O
