AGH THIS SUCKS :(

[Kilroy]

Windows intercourse ed me over, basically.

I was browsing the interwebz, and I had to go to bed. I decided to shut down, did so, and went to bed.

Next morning, I wake up, get breakfast, turn my computer on. Take a bite or two of my sammich, when it gets to where the log-in screen normally is.

I'm used to seeing a blank screen with a mouse for a few seconds, then the details and such load. I was at this blank screen for at least a minute, and I start thinking "ok wtf is goin on rite hur", and go turn on my 360 to entertain myself while I wait for my laptop to load.

2,358 zombies ran over later, I look over at my laptop, and it's still at this blank screen. "Gee, I see a problem here."

I go to move the mouse around to make sure the laptop isn't frozen. Luckily, it isn't. I do Control Alt Delete for the sake of hoping that something would happen.

Nothing did.

So, I knew it would be stupid to just put it into hibernate (My power button is set to hibernate when pressed), so I just held the power button down. I turn the laptop back on, wait for it to whine that I didn't shut down properly, then I hit safe mode, once again, for the sake of hoping that something would happen.

Same thing, blank screen with a mouse, but this time it was in 640x800 ^_^

So, my laptop is screwed, I'm on my craptastic desktop, waiting until tomorrow so that I can get one of my Computer-Savvy friends *coughLichig0cough* to come over, be Ubuntuman, reformat the HDD, put Ubuntu on, and have a working laptop.

So, what's the last computer problem you had?








Oh, yeah, on a side note. My music, all my Warcraft III maps, Orange Box, my media in general, everything is gone. :(

My parents forced AOL upon my laptop...so basically the last time I left my computer alone for more than a few hours X_X;;

You're having Lichig0 install Ubuntu on your computer...even though he couldn't even install it right on his.

Smart thinking.

Smart thinking.

It should work, theoretically. D:

The last one I caused myself by overclocking it a  bit too much, but I fixed that with a CMOS Reset Switch.

The last thing it did on its own was Windows (Or My computer) intercourse ing itself and making it lag every .5 secongs for .5 seconds; so it was really running at half speed. It took a reformat to fix it, because I uninstalled every driver i could think of and nothing worked.

I smell errors all over.

Uh, no it shouldn't. At least trust someone smart to handle your computer stuff. Reinstall Windows or something.

Ugh, our computer looked like twelve dogs vomitted all over the desktop, while it was being sealed away in the Minus World. The Mouse was unresponsive, and we had to navigate with the keyboard. But we couldn't access anything that required the internet.

Luckily, we fixed the problem. Don't ask me how or why this happened...it just did.

Orange Box is saved on you're account, not you're hard drive. Smart move by Valve eh?

Also, this is you're laptop no? It's probably just out of batteries. The same thing happens to my MacBook.

Who do you expect me to trust. He's the most computer-savvy person I know >_>

Also,
1. With what Windows disc.
2. I plan to buy an external HDD and use that for Windows. Yay Warcraft.

Just download a random Windows XP ISO and burn it. Not hard.

Maybe you should just stop trying.

Well, his brothers are like superkalafragilisticexpialidoschous with computers, but it's kind of hard to sneak out my laptop, bring it to his house, have one of his brothers wipe the HDD, install Linux, make sure it works/has all necessary drivers, get back to my house, in around 3 hours.

But it feels so good to carry out an epic maneuver such as that.

also, it's spelled supercalifragilisticexpialadocious iirc

Why do you want Linux so badly? You're planning on gaming. Like LinkXLR said, it could always be a battery problem instead of a Windows problem.

Also, in before whining about Wine.

Wine works rarely, I already know that.

It's not that I want Linux so badly, it's just that I could use Linux and Windows at the same time, so why shouldn't I?

On a side note, I can't make Vista super pretty.
