Laptop Dropping, Among Other Things >_>
Dropped my laptop on Sunday before we headed home to Logan. Yeah... *headdesk* That was bad. Anyway, I thought it was fine for a while, until I noticed a problem that wasn't going away. Every time I boot the laptop up, it reverts the screen resolution back to 800x600. Yeah-- not so cool. But! Fix found already! Turns out that the display drivers got somehow borked, so uninstalling them and installing new Nvidia drivers fixed the issue. Whew! I was worried I'd hosed my laptop.
In other news, I got a new phone about a month ago. Works great, wonderful, all that. When I went in and talked to the Sprint guy he told me that he would give me an extra 10% off my monthly bill just for coming in and chatting with them about getting a new phone. Initial impression is: Totally Awesome Discount. So, adding that to the 15% off that I already have, that'd be 25% off my bill-- sweet! Except I got the bill yesterday and the 10% off has replaced the 15% off. >_> Displeased. So there will be me, visiting the Sprint store today, to give the man a talking to. I'm expecting he will likely be properly apologetic and try to get it fixed for me, since I don't think he intended to do that (I think the people at corporate pulled a fast one on him). But nevertheless I suppose I'll have to be prepared to dish out a hefty reaming if he tries to tell me he can't do anything about it. *sigh*
Anyway. Prepping for the upgrade to win7 is going smoothly so far. Just need to find some discs for Office 2007 so I can install it after the wipe (my discs are at my parents' place, which is out of the realm of going to grab them for the foreseeable future). I may just torrent the discs and use my legit key on the install, if that's all I can do.
