Crazy computer make Soultrain angry! scream

I'm trying to get my Dad's computer up on the network and on the net. It's talking to the router, but not the net. TO top it all off, I restarted because of Network changes, and it won't boot. It gets about halfway thorugh loading Windows 98, and locks up. It will go into safe mode, but I don't know what voodoo magic to work to fix the damn thing. So I'm reloading Windows. evil


A N G R Y ! mad

eek That sounds like my parents computer. It hasn't been upgraded in like, 10 years, or something like that. It has Windoes ME.... Good luck with that, you're gonna need it. confused  

[Soultrain]

I finally gave up on it last night when it the reinstall locked up, I thought the best thing to do was to throw it into a lake. It's alright when you first turn it on, but the longer it's on, the worse it gets. Maybe something is cracked on the mainboard? xp  

[KnightFourteen]

eek Yup, that always sucks. Throwing anything that causes annoyances is always good in my book though! xd
 

[StuffGal]

Wow, I remember ol' '98... I hear its instability is second only to ME XD My '98 machine really liked crashing, too v_v Of course, that is indeed why lakes and heights and baseball bats were invented! biggrin We can always go Office Space on it, too! whee  

[Soultrain]

98 wasn't that bad. I mean, XP kicks it a**, but compared to 95, it was a godsend.

I formatted and installed 98 back on the comp. It's halfway stable, but I still can't get it to talk to the internet. It's talking to the router, but it won't go through it. Stupid wireless stuff not working. stare

Well, I finally got my Dad's compy working again. It's surfing the net and chugging along. What sucks, is that I found out that Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 98 SE.....MONDAY! gonk  

[KnightFourteen]

Well, as far as getting my parents a new computer, they'll just wait 'til about Christmas time or something. I bight them a new key board and a CD-R 56X drive 'cause they had no working drives.... Yup, much better now...  

[StuffGal]

Oh, wow, SoulTrain o_o Sounds like you've been working hard to patch up the Internet problem! Sorry to hear what happened v_v I, again, don't understand the exact details of it... but it doesn't sound good sweatdrop  

[Soultrain]

It was all messed up, but I fixed it.

On another note, Google Earth is fun!

Indeed, Google Earth is freak'in awesome. I mark a bunch of stuff on that.  

[StuffGal]

Yeah, I third that statement! 3nodding It's a lotta fun, tracing the roads around your home, or seeing the rice paddies in Japan! whee Google makes lotsa nifty little things! Do any of you have Google Desktop? It's very useful!  

[Soultrain]

I just downloaded and installed it. It's...kinda neat.
