Let me start off by saying I have been fixing computers for ever now, I all ways think back to the time, when my grand mother gave be an alarm clock radio, and told to me fix it, I took it apart wire by wire, bit by bit, put it all back, and went to go play in the woods, I came home to my amazement that when my grandmother turned the clock on it worked!
Anyways I bought this up because my Windows is beyond repair, with out a format, usually I can fix the thing without formatting, but Ive never seen a OS this damaged before. It all started when I was uploading pictures to face crack, I noticed the Internet shut off no big deal, I went to look at the router, and figured the service provider was down, then I started to notice the other computers Internet would turn back on if my computer was unplugged from the Internet, then new problems would arise, I could no longer copy and paste, I could not drag items to the recycling bin, I had to manually click delete, I started to notice I could no longer drag a box around Icons, when I restarted more problems arises, 6 error messages popped up, my tool bar disappeared, in order to drag my tool bar, I had to click and add quick launch items to it everytime. I started to noticed that control panel would no longer show up, or networked devices, I could no longer access any uninstall features, Zone alarm could not detect a virus but on my task bar I found two viruses, A.exe and MSA.exe, items would not launch. I went to install windows but I had no CD drive do to a recent move, so I had to go down stares and unhook a CD drive that I remembered seeing beside the trash bin at our apartment, well Windows wouldn't recognize my CD key so I went searching for a CD key but no luck, getting cd key gens that wernt viruses was so much easier in 2003, anyways I found a Ubuntu CD but it wouldn't run to scratched, then I found a man driver CD, "sorry for spelling mistake", but that wouldn't load, the cd player just made noises, I remembered I had DSL linux on a windows hard drive, so I loaded that up, oh look no Internet so I decided I would install it on the hard drive, but remember I could not copy and past or burn anything due to the weird computer errors, I decide to download ubuntu on the other computer every time I went to install it, the CD player made weird noises, so then downloaded DSL linux and! will you look at that it works, Internet and all, there are some flaws. I cant seem get DSL permanently on the hard rive, even after I partition the thing, and the font is not readable at times, so I have to zoom in allot for the Internet, its now readable on the desktop, Im all so scared to save anything on it, because I could swear, its saving to my ram, that's very new to be, Ive used linux on and off since 2004 but never on a Live CD, but who can complain Linux live CD saved the day. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
