And now a computer story....
So, I was gonna play around with a few new goodies I downloaded for Photoshop, and when I went to open my Photoshop CS2, it suddenly wouldn't open up due to a missing .dll file. (that being a file that a program looks to for running other programs) Well I figured repairing via the install would fix this problem, which it didn't. So I uninstalled and reinstalled... no luck.
WELL. I decided it'd probably be best to try CS3 instead via the trail base for the time being-- Which started a problem.....
About 2 hours later after downloading it from the site led me to having an unusually slow file to open up. after several hang ups and lock ups, I FINALLY got CS3's installation running. Since this itself was slow, I passed the time via usual things. chatting on MSN, watching TV, and picking my nose. 20 minutes later, it was ready to run it's full install--greeeeat-- so while that ran, me n' cloud decided we where gonna play some SSBB matches online with some friends.
4 hours later, the installation is FINALLY complete. "Wonderful!" I thought "now I can see how CS3 runs!" yeeah... no I wasn't. because upon this installation, my computer started running horrifically slow, and it took 10 minutes just to open CS3 itself. "screw it. I'm uninstalling"
Since then, I've been having some trouble with my computer. CS3 for the most part has been uninstalled. For awhile there though, whenever I tried restarting, it'd give me an error saying that the computer had recovered from a serious error, things where really slow for a bit, 'til I started cleaning things out. Most of my icons for some unexplained reason decided they where going to be deleted.... still trying to figure THAT one out...all the links in the programs list on my start bar are gone (I use the classic style, not XP's)
Everything works though, nothing's been lost aside from that headache CS3, and I have about 10 GB of space left, which...is bad, but better than it was of 7 GB. I'm thinking about backing up all my drawings and just wiping the drive and reinstalling XP.
Oh yes, and also, I have a new avatar up! whatchu think?
