today should have been a GOOD day, but it wasnt
after nearly 4 and a half months, my main machine was returned, supposedly fixed!
i didnt get home till 9pm last night, due to overtime at work, and someone dropping a
panic bomb on the managing director 1 second before walking out the door! *towering inferno of rage smiley* it was all lies!
so, i get home, tired and wanting only a rest, and i find my machine, returned to me, sitting in the hallway
i was warey, after all the problems, but quietly hopeful.
i found the energy to spend the hour clearing my desk, and putting it into place. suddenly i had a DVD player!!!
the local supermarket have been doing DVD's on offer, and i have purchased about 12 since my machine went down. i thought i could start watching them!
well, i spent most of today moving data between the two machines, updating email, etc.
all was going fine, then i got a hard lock in winXP
i was concerned DX or my DX plugin was the cause. however, 20 min later i got another hard lock! i wasnt online, and DX wasnt running. hardly anything was running.
i have now concluded this machine is unfixable. this is depressing news.
