Guess Who's Back!
Ahh... The feel of my computer. I'm finally back online as I want to be. So here's the whole horrible chain of events, right from the beginning. It all started back in December with my mom using my computer while I was away. I was too tired to do anything when I got home that day so I went to bed. The next day I found that my computer wouldn't boot up properly (it would turn on, but that was it). I chalked it up to a busted hard drive and fretted over it since my warranty was expired. I went through a month's time trying to find a temporary replacement so that I wouldn't be forgotten by my friends as I waited for a permanent replacement. And today, my mom decided that we would get a replacement since she had money to do so. We get a refurbished computer, and we go home to get it hooked up. First my dad set it up to see if it worked, and it did. Then he put the wireless card from my computer in it, and for some reason, it didn't work. It turned on, but that was it. After removing it, it was fine again. My dad then tried the same theory with my computer, to find that the wireless card was somehow causing the computer to malfunction and not run properly. Believe me, I was beating my head in over this. All that trouble to find out that my computer was fine! So my dad just took a spare wireless card that we had (a different brand) and installed it, and now I'm up and running again. Still, I can't help but feel stupid about it. But the main thing is, I'm back under my own standards.
