Computer Issues

For those of you who read last night's post... I'm sorry for being late again.

My computer is such a mess and I'm still trying to get is cleaned up as we speak (…as I type actually, but anyway…)
The reason why I’m late is "the blue screen". You know what I’m talking about, and don’t try to deny it. (Even YOU Tom Lomino) ... dump files ... Grrrr!...

ALL my applications, without any exceptions at all, are crashing time after time. That is… IF they start at all. I'm not even talking about multi-tasking here ... No, no, no, no, no! THAT is not even an option! ! !

Actually, listen to this: Just now, the CD tray opened. This means one of my CD’s is done, right? So I walk up to the computer, just to check whether or not there were any errors during the writing process. I’m not taking anything for granted! (I just want to check everything, even though my CD writer is burn proof.)

I read about a certain error, which tells me about a filename being too long. This is a reason for me to validate the data. I insert the CD again. WHAM! There it is again…. “the blue screen”! ! ! Argh! Oh well… let’s look at the fun side of things… uhm…. Ok, skip that.

So right now, I’m just TRYING to write my data to CD’s and then I’m going to format my computer entirely, install everything again, and just start over… I hope that works out though.

Oh and just for your information, after the extra long startup procedure, I tried to get information about the info of the CD... Guess what??? The data is corrupted... How surprising... lol : / ... Here we go again.

*** I’ll keep you posted on the intriguing ways of my computers. ASAP. There was something else that I honestly wanted to tell you right here. Considering the colorful system failure, that will have to wait. I'll write more tomorrow.***

Love,
Marsha.
