Bon courage pour tout réinstaller...j'y ai passé qq heures l'avant dernier WE! Là, je subis la fête de la musique : une nana qui aimerait bien être soprano à l'opéra s'est installée sous mes fenêtres et agresse mon tympan depuis 1 heure...c'est tout bonnement immonde et ça passe à travers les boules quies...
Merci, oui... C'est surtout le wi-fi qui me fait peur. Le reste va prendre du temps, mais c'est aussi une occasion de virer tous les programmes dont je ne me servais plus, c'est toujours ça.
Bon courage avec ta Castafiore!! Tu peux lui jeter un seau d'eau, peut-être? Ou pire, du coca. Bien visqueux...
Yeah, I'm not that active on LJ! I hope you're okay! I've updated and finished 'Wasted" a couple of months ago. I wrote a book that's gonna be published in France in January (it was quite a surprised to find a publisher, I have to say. I wrote the book and sent it to 2 French publishers and my favorite one says "okay, we're interested") and it took me so much time! And I'm always fake-working (the book is about my work and all the weirdness in it!). Take care!
Ouch. Did I tell you that my archaic 7-year-old 'puter at home bit the dust about a month ago? That was a fun week. A geek built a new one to bypass the dreaded Vista nemesis and such, but it's never an easy process. Even installing some of the programs, like Microsoft Office, involved a lengthy process.
I wish you much better luck! You're far more adept at the tech aspects than I am. That has to help... except you also know enough to be more frustrated.
Oh, lord. Vista... Yeah, I'll be very clear when I buy the new computer. I still have an XP license, and I fully intend to keep using it.
I had Vista on the laptop I bought a year ago, and it was hell. Truly.
And I'm not sure I'm much more adept with the tech issues than you are. Mostly, all I do is find a setup program and click. Everything else is pretty much magic for me...
See, that is where a Mac comes in very useful. When I got my new laptop a few months ago when the motherboard was dying in my old one, I just plugged in my Time Machine and it transferred everything over without any hassles. It did take about a day though as there was a lot to transfer.
Good luck!
I have XP on my PC laptop and find it a hassle compared to my nice shiny Leopard OS.
One day, when I have enough money, I'll buy a Mac. But right now, they're a bit out of my price range (and I'm worried about compatibility, too. Does Mac read Windows files?)
Ooh, a new computer, how exciting! I just recently got a new one myself (my dad did all the work, I just sat next to him, biting my nails and worrying I was going to lose all my files) and I love it. Good luck with yours!
Gosh, I'm sorry. I'm considering the same thing too as my HD had some serious problems of the not starting up kind on Sunday. I'm on a friend's borrowed one right now but yes, with the shutting down. Sigh.
I'm looking for a desktop, so the plan is to go to the guy at the computer store and say, "I need this, this and this, what can you do?" :) Good luck to you as well! I hate, hate, *hate* it when a computer starts misbehaving...

Linux is on the laptop (which was bought just so I could experiment a bit with Linux, actually), and that is still running fine.
Unfortunately, there are some programs I use on Windows that I can't install with wine, and whose Linux equivalents I can't figure out...
