This just keeps getting better and better...err...not!
First, I found out you can't record any audio with Windows Vista. Okay, I said, I can work around that by using the Mac. Then I had problems with Windows Movie Maker not accepting .avi files & crashing. I solved those problems. Then I made the seemingly innocent mistake of putting the computer in Sleep Mode one evening and lost my internet connection. I have yet to find a solution for this problem, save for waiting for the first Service Pack to be released. I also found out I couldn't use the Restore Points at all. I tried several of them to fix the internet problem...it said it couldn't back up to the restore points. Lovely. But now...now...the computer is crashing on me! Twice in just the past couple of hours it's crashed. Everything's going fine, then I hear the fans run really fast and loud and then blink...it's gone. It offers to restart in Safe Mode, which I bypass, 'cause where is that gonna get me. It's been telling me each time it starts that there's an unidentified device that needs a driver. What device??? It won't even give me a clue what the heck this thing is. It offers to get the driver through the internet. Right. That would be great...if it would let me connect to the internet!!!!! Arrrrgggghhhhh!!!!!!! *tears out hair*
This situation is just snowballing now. It's awful. I didn't have any of these problems with my old PC. *looks longingly at old computer in the other room* I'm seriously starting to miss XP. It was stable, it worked, and it let me do what I wanted without any fuss. Vista is fancy and flashy and turning out to be one big pain after another. I should be enjoying my nice, new, shiny computer and instead I'm fighting with it left and right. And now it's got this crashing issue. That's just peachy! Bah!
*pets MacBook Pro* I sure appreciate having this laptop! But I still need a Windows system because as great as Mac is, the software choices are extremely limited. That's a big issue for me. Gotta have my software to do the stuff I want to do. *Sigh* It's really going to be fun using the computer now...trying to get things done before it suddenly crashes and restarts again. Yeah....just what I need. *glares at computer*
