UGH! my computer is so FUCKING GAY!

Nov 25, 2004 01:23

A couple of hours ago, I was looking through my senior pics and I wanted to scan a few more and change my yahoo! messenger profile pic. so I went to scan them, and my scanner and all of it's files are GONE!Yeah GONE! so I asked my mom to look at it and she was like.. I dunno... reinstall it... so I had to remove what I found in the add/remove files thingy and then reinstall it... I restarted the computer and tried to locate the scanner, but none of the files would open... so I went to talk to Tech support... this is what happened...

I don't know if this has anything to do with my scanner, but I had
problems, I got a solution from another tech support personl, and I got
half way through and when I went to type something into the command box,
it gave me a message saying the system file is not suitable for running
MS-DOS and microsoft windows applications. choose close to terminate
the application.
