Any week is a good week for a vacation.



Hard Sarge -> RE: Looks like i may be done for a bit (5/5/2010 5:43:40 AM)

well, this really sucks

took me some time, but got my extranal drive hooked up and running, but can run the game, got about 30 copies of the game, but can't run it, had to go be a beta tester and down load a old copy, so I can install it, of course, doing that from the laptop, to move it over to the main

(had me worried there for a bit, I need that Drive !!!!)

LOL

I had passed on some files to Nick for safe keeping, I was about to write to him to ask him to send them back to me L(





Hard Sarge -> RE: Looks like i may be done for a bit (5/5/2010 5:25:31 PM)

my computer is still basicly down, but I can run the game and my tools on the main computer now, just have to keep moving stuff between the laptop and the main

your PM is full again. [:D]

On that last......try clicking on the START menu and see if your network places is there.



Hard Sarge -> RE: Looks like i may be done for a bit (5/5/2010 10:28:48 PM)

you write faster then I can delete them :P

I show a ISP, and my net connector, so it is on, but not sending/getting (of course, now, I got the cable hooked up to the laptop :)

but when cable hooked up, it is not sending or getting



Hard Sarge -> RE: Looks like i may be done for a bit (5/8/2010 1:49:16 AM)

well, knock on wood

had tech over, spent a few hours and still couldn't get it all working, had to call tech support from his numbers, and got a good tech, who spent about 3 hours working on the insides of it

basicly, most of it was stupid (little stuff like the Aud Drivers I needed, were part of the Vid Controller drivers package, even the tech started laffing, no wounder I couldn't find them, he spent about 45 minutes on the phone and on the computer)

over all, I would say the suppost I had to get it back up and running was very shoddy, but once I got though and got to the tech's, they were very good and helpful

funny, after the call was over, the Manager wanted to talk to me, to see how the help was, it seemed like he was even trying to lead me into saying bad things, told him, I was very happy with the Tech, and she did a outstanding job, he was like, oh, okay, if you are happy, have a nice day

HS, this almost sounds like the old Hee Haw song "Doom, Despair & Agony". [:'(]



Hard Sarge -> RE: Looks like i may be done for a bit (6/1/2010 1:38:44 PM)

some times you just can't win, think I got most of it back up, then the monitor starts acting up, not sure, but if that goes out, then I am stuck !

so ordered a new one, which I can use that, and keep this one as a back up, or (get fancy later and set up a duel)

so, got me a 27 inch, 1080 HD coming today

oh boy





Rob Brennan UK -> RE: Looks like i may be done for a bit (6/2/2010 4:20:28 PM)

enjoy your new giant monitor [:D].. Sounds like you need a bit of cheering up after the PC debacle recently.

Best wishes



Hard Sarge -> RE: Looks like i may be done for a bit (6/2/2010 4:33:55 PM)

:)

oddly, it looks smaller then my last one ! (had a 25.5)

but they about the same, only this one is a little wider, nice too !





Nikademus -> RE: Looks like i may be done for a bit (6/2/2010 7:51:18 PM)

bah....you can't beat a good CRT beastie!



Hard Sarge -> RE: Looks like i may be done for a bit (6/15/2010 1:05:09 PM)

I not been talking about my latest mess up, needless to say, I called to see if they could get my Crossfire Vid Cards working (only one was running)

the tech took over control, did this, did that, and broke the OS, so had to do a complete new reinstall of the OS

then major hassles with getting the drivers hooked up again, and still the Crossfire didn't work, after 9 hours on the phone, we finally got it working

go to bed, and wake up, Windows update crashed the computer, get it running, just finished off a Large Download, and the Internet crashed, mess around, the cable was good, the computer wasn't

when I got back to the techs, they had me do some checking, and found the mother board had died, pulled some plugs and waiting, put it back togeather and it didn't work, rebooted again, and it worked (but much slower then it should be) then the Vid Cards went out

so, got a Motherboard and 2 new Vid Cards coming (just got the call, they should be here in a hour or so)

boy, when I have bad luck, I don't mess around !





joey -> RE: Looks like i may be done for a bit (6/15/2010 1:27:29 PM)

Some people have all the luck!



Hard Sarge -> RE: Looks like i may be done for a bit (6/15/2010 3:48:23 PM)

well, took about a hour

when the guy was finished, he looked at me and asked, What the hell did you do, that they sent all of this stuff to replace ?

I'm like, it wasn't me, your tech's did it :)

well, I am up, doing some tests to see how it works



joey -> RE: Looks like i may be done for a bit (6/15/2010 9:01:45 PM)

I figured you do your own computer repairs. You seem to know so much about the subject. What do you do with your computers - use them as footballs on sundays?



fochinell -> RE: Looks like i may be done for a bit (6/16/2010 5:00:15 PM)

I think HS ought to upgrade to a more reliable operating system, such as Windows 95.[sm=comp16.gif]




Hard Sarge -> RE: Looks like i may be done for a bit (6/16/2010 5:35:57 PM)

naw, LOL, while the tech was sitting on the floor working on the computer, I noticed one of my old ones, sitting under a table (greesh, it is a Gateway, I can't remember how long ago I last had a Gateway running (oh wow, that is the one I first had BTR on !, that one didn't die, it was just replaced with a better model, should see if I can get it running when I go on vaction next (kill that one, instead of this one !)

and Naw, this one is XP (Dell had a trick, when Microsoft, demanded all makers to only ship Vista systems, they loaded up XP on it, and gave you the Vista disk as a upgrade, so they could say, they shipped a Vista Computer)





joey -> RE: Looks like i may be done for a bit (6/17/2010 2:48:37 PM)

I always thought ME edition was typical MS offering. Perhaps he should upgrade to ME? At least then, the crashes would be expected!



Nikademus -> RE: Looks like i may be done for a bit (6/17/2010 8:07:30 PM)

HardSarge has "the touch" when it comes to computers......just like my GF!
