I hate computers - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Meangya, so Im on the computer Friday afternoon, and everythings hunky-dorry. Then, I get home @ like, 11 or so, to see the computer a shade of blue and the font is all bold and weird looking, plus it didnt look like XP anymore. Couldnt get online, had no sound, and it couldnt find the device manager.

My Dad tried fixing it today, but he had to take it to his friends house and start all over again. WTF!! All of my music, videos, and pics are now gone. Meaaaaangya. KT and Alison know I just got done last weekend organizing all my pics in folders!

Meangya, I had so much crap on here I wanted to save, its not even funny. Gaah now I have to go and DL everything again. Atleast, I have my CD-ROM back now. Ugh.

Sounds like your Windows XP got corrupted. A simple reinstall fixes that. same thing happen to me a few months ago.

This is off topic but anybody noticed that if you look at "XP" more closely, it looks like a face that is grossed out?

Yah, what a pain in my balls. The colors are still messed up. The reds are really dark, yet everything else seems kinda bright. I tried fixing it, but it doesnt help bring back the normal colors.

James"Thunder"Early · 03-22-2004, 12:06 AM

I'm in computer hell right now. My computer was doing all sorts of strange things, so it's at Gateway for repairs. I'm told I have corrupted software files
I'm using a borrowed piece of crap now. I can't post pics, articles...I can't even copy and paste. It's AOL, version 6, lol.
I feel like I'm using a kid's toy. Even with my high-speed internet, it's soooo slow.
I won't get my computer back for two weeks. It won't take that long to fix it, but they're understaffed I was told.
I've been haunting TJ left and right because I have trouble logging onto this site.

I just went thru computor hell. I have been off the internet for 3 weeks, I couldn't type anything online, I went thru 2 servers, the tech support people ( I only seemed to get guys from the MiddleEast ) were useless. Finally I had to take it to the shop. Now everthing is hunky-dory, for now. I feel your pain Crystal!

PZelda · 03-22-2004, 07:08 AM

OUCH. Crystal, I hear ya!

Luckily, I back up all my pics and stuff on a CD-RW once every month...So if my computer ever dies on me (doubtful, since it's 3 and a half months old now), no biggie.

And that screenshot looks fine to me.

You guys, I hope your computers get better soon.
