Man It Has Been A While- Again
First of all, thanks to all of you who actually READ this blog o' mine. It's nice to know that other people might find me interesting : )
In case no one has noticed, and I wouldn't blame you, I DID post the 3rd chapter of my EPIC mini-novel on the forums. Bigger than the other two chapters, and STILL no one gets eaten! That will change ; )
I tried to get the radeon video card (a 7500 SE or whaddevva it is) that I have in my OLD computer to work in my NEW computer, but I dunno what the hell the problem is. Of course, in my manual for the card it says to uninstall any video drivers, and uninstall EVERY OTHER piece of software that installs codecs. Fuck. this is an OEM version of winxp home, and it bundles an abortload of software with it. DVD players, etc. and I have installed an abortload* of software that plays video, and I RILLY don't want to have to uninstall everything...
Anyway, the problem is that i can't seem to uninstall the video stuff that comes with the computer- not through add/remove, or third party programs, and when I uninstall through the device manager it STILL don't uninstall. So again, when I boot up with the new card in, the machine boots up normal, enters the desktop in 640*400 resolution, blinks the screen a couple of times, then BLINK the whole screen goes black, I get the cursor blinking in the top left corner, the cdrom/dvd drives go silent, and the hard drive goes quiet.
That's scary : )
So shuckleduckle. Stuck. So I'll try and fix all that later. Still though, for the most part the built-in video works fine.
Wanted to let everyone know that I am not dead, so take care and see y'all!!

I think you can figure out how to type that into the TO: line : )
*abortload. from the phrase "abortload of fetuses". used in statements like- "we got an abortload of fetuses in the trunk, there's so much beer".
