so after i got home tonight, i went upstairs, took a shower and my bad luck showed up again.
heres a good timeline of events:
12am: open laptop and get ready to work on blog
12:01am: open itunes to stream music from my main computer, so that i have music to listen to while blogging.
12:01:08am: window’s blue screens me with some kernal error, i think nothing of it and reboot.
Upon reboot, the laptop is showing me that it is missing a .dll file. I read how to fix it, and upon reading up on it, i find its not an easy fix. I was then presented with 2 options. Go through the painful process of repairing windows and have most of the programs not work right after the uninstall. Or i could just format this laptop and start fresh. I chose the latter because this computer didn’t have anything stored on it of mine of much importance, and all of Dad’s stuff was backed up months ago.
I found out that the HP reinstall disk for XP home doesnt install any of the crap you traditionally get on a store bought pc. Nor did i have to re-activate windows. Now its really early in the morning, most of my programs are back in and i am streaming music via itunes from my main pc, while working on my blog.
I’m going to bed now.
