Computer Issues?

by | Feb 3, 2003 | Imported Entry

My computer is starting to do some funny things and it’s making me quite worried. It’s booting fine and even getting to the Win XP boot screen, but when it loads and switches to the login screen everything goes black. I can also tell that it hasn’t loaded the USB drivers yet because my mouse and keyboard have no power. So, instead of a Windows logon I get a blank screen. Then, when I restart, it tells me that Windows didn’t finish loading last time and asks if I’d like to start it in Safe Mode. I choose “start normally” and everything is fine, OR it does it again and requires additional restarts. I could either be the graphics card not wanting to refresh at that resolution or something video related or it’s Windows being weird and might require a reinstall. Any ideas guys?

That’s the word I would use to describe my current state of being. Last night I felt a little sniffle start and this morning I wake up to a full blown sinus clog. I don’t know whether its allergies or a cold but it’s unpleasent none-the-less. I’ve got a Sudafed working for me right now but I’m not doing so hot. I couldn’t sleep at all last night, although that had nothing to do with my cold/allergies, and being tired is coming back to bite me in the ass. Being tired AND on cold medication leaves you a bit loopy, or exhausted, whichever comes first.

Adding to my fun is the fact that I have a critique tomorrow that I forgot about. So, in a panic I drive downtown to try and print something for tomorrow. Unfortunatly, I haven’t paid my photo-lab fees yet this semester and the office I’m supposed to do that at is closed on Sunday. So, at 8am tomorrow, I have to be downtown so that I can pay my lab fees, go over to Burgen and print some self portraits for my 3:00 class. Oh joy.

I’m home now, resting, since there’s nothing I can be doing in the way of photography. I can’t print and I don’t feel up to shooting so it’s sleepy time.

G’night… or G’afternoon, whichever comes first.
