More problems
Feb. 17th, 2006 01:23 pmI am ill, and so is my computer. But my computer is definitely the more terminal of the two of us. After the problem that had been going on for a month or so, I finally got up the courage to update my video drivers again, which required a reset of the computer. As before, I downloaded and installed ATI's Catalyst Control, thinking that it couldn't possibly have been responsible for so many vital files going missing, then I told it to reset. And it completely failed to come back up again.
I'm now convinced that the installer for Catalyst must read something like:
cd %systemroot%/system32
del *.*
Fortunately I had made another System Restore point shortly after getting the computer working, but it was only after manually removing Catalyst again and choosing Last Known Good Configuration that anything worked at all. I am not convinced that it's working correctly and have attempted to do the src /scannow fix again, but this time Windows says that it can't replace the bad files, for no other given reason other than it doesn't really feel like it. The smug beige bastard.
It's times like these that Macs begin to sound almost appealing.
