Fuck This Shit...
(September 27, 2007)
Seriously... This has been the week from hell. And I'm not even talking about the cold from hell that has had me housebound (and my boss pissed at me). It all started because I wanted to play my Sims game (except for the getting sick. That was a coworker's fault). My power supply started failing so I went out to buy a new one. Then my game started to get choppy because of all the downloads so I went to buy more RAM... then a new video card. My video card fried my old motherboard and I went out with a fever to buy a new computer. Six trips to Best Buy later I was home with a new computer, new video card and an external hard drive to move all my shit over. So of course the new computer has Vista, which means some of my programs don't work. It's pretty... but pretty doesn't cut it when I can't use my Photoshop. At one point Jake came home and I started talking about hearing church bells chiming (there's not a church even close). He sent me to bed. Last night I decided to try my Sims2 game. It loaded just fine, but when I went to choose a Sims house it just held there. The computer says that it's running (instead of not responding), so I am at a loss. I created a new Sims character and was able to move them into a house. I went back out, then was able to choose that Sims' house. I tried one of my other Sims and still can not access them. I am so pissed right now. I'd gladly trade my new computer for my old one just to have all my stuff. *sigh* Oh, here's the new computer specs: AMD Athlon 64 x 2 Dual Core Processor 4400+ 2.30GHz I'm hoping I can find someone that will help me save my Sims. *crosses fingers* Yeah, I'm obsessed... Oh, and by the way... It's easier to get two female Sims to have sex than when I created Mini Jake and Mini Me. I'm just saying... Posted by Diva at September 27, 2007 12:47 PM

I was told I might screw up the warranty, but at this point I'm about to say 'fuck it' and switch out the hard drives. Posted by: Diva at October 3, 2007 06:35 AM  I don't think they would even notice. If you switched out the HD, you could simply put the old one back in later if repairs are needed.
Posted by: AEI at October 7, 2007 01:51 PM I am tempted to do that. So far I've managed to get all but one of my MAIN programs working. Rather... I've installed updated versions. I still have quite a few programs for my website that I haven't tested yet. The last of necessary software is my firewall/virus software. I'm also using a router which has a firewall so technically I'm half okay. I just prefer to have one on my computer too. I hate the bundled software computers come with. All the protection you need... for sixty days. Then you're screwed. Posted by: Diva at October 10, 2007 06:09 AM Post a comment |

If I bought a new computer, probably the first thing I'd do is get rid of Vista or dual boot with Windows XP. Most software is made to run in XP and will for sometime to come.
