amalthiaMy computer hates my guts. I still get the annoying pop up when I open my firefox browser, and my USB flash drive drivers don't work. I tried uninstalling and re-installing and there are no other drivers for this device because apparently they come with Windows XP...and basically my computer is messed up in weird ways and the easiest way I know to fix them is to reformat.
So tonight I'm backing up everything on my F drive and reformatting my operating system. It's been 2 years running and I guess I needed this extra push before I got around to reformatting. I don't like reformatting because it takes forever to re-install XP and all my favorite programs...however considering I can now no longer use vital parts of my computer due to driver issues...I'm thinking this is the easier and quicker way to fix this. Last night I was close to tears from the stress and well it stresses me out a lot less to reformat and re-install an operating system.
Anyway, I now know what programs I use the most and I think my computer will run better after I get everything up and going again. The result is I may be awol from the internet tonight and tomorrow tonight.(though I could set up my laptop...however during this process I planned to watch Heroes, SGA, and possibly SG-1)
