So, I think I fucked up the other day. I was cleaning old programs off my computer, like you do, and there was this scroll program that I couldn't identify... so I uninstalled

I was going to help...and then I saw the thing about Windows.

Um. I can send hopeful thoughts your way. ♥

I have no idea how to help you. But I am endlessly amused by Encino Man being your mood icon for this. *giggles*

[hackthis]

You are not being helpful. :p

[amberlynne]

I know. I am sorry. But your irritation at my unhelpfulness has probably distracted you from your other problem. So I am actually being of use. *beams*

RAY! Oh, god, you really are my Ray. I feel like I just found out I was going into war in tin plated sardine cans. Oh, wait...

Do you have your XP installer CD? Or access to one? That should have all the base programs that came with the computer, and if I'm remembering correctly, the CD should give you the option to "repair" instead of "reinstall".

*crosses fingers for you*

[hackthis]

I have no idea where that CD is. Fuckin' a.

Believe me, I know the feeling. I bought my laptop from HP with the option to burn a copy of Vista from what's already installed on the laptop. I've had the laptop for a year and a half and still haven't done it. I feel like I'm treading on thin ice.

I hope your driver search is not in vain! In lieu of said search, I give you Brad and Matt outing George at Venice via Letterman if you haven't seen it already. :)

It's likely you uninstalled a driver for your mouse/touchpad (laptop or desktop, btw?), and you will probably need to do one of two things. The simplest would be to find any discs (HAHAHA I TYPED DICKS, THAT'S AWESOME) that came with your computer (this is especially easy if you have a laptop) and one of them will have that driver on there; just reinstall it. If you don't have the disc (STILL TYPED DICK. WOW.) then you'll have to try and find it online. Which is often a boring and difficult process if you don't know exactly what you're looking for.

Good luck, let me know if you figure anything out!

You and the dicks I think you have something on your mind. I was telling the person above that I have no flipping idea where this discs are and yes, I am currently undergoing the boring and difficult process and I don't have THE FUCKING TIME TO DEAL WITH THIS RIGHT NOW.

If it's a driver problem, there's a program you can download that will tell you what drivers are fucked up without needing any of the discs. I'll look for it. Hold on.

[hackthis]

I think I am downloading that now, it's call Driver Detector yis?

ETA: I fucked up, dude, I do not have TIME to be fucking up right now.

[sparky77]

Yep. That should be it. I can't remember if you have to pay for it to give you useful information, but I don't think so. I used it to fix a problem with my USB drivers before.

[sparky77]

It's fixable! Let me know if you need help once you get the driver results.
