Defeated

July 29th, 2009 · Posted by Skuds in Technology · No Comments · Technology

Three hours trying to get Charlie’s PC to connect to the internet tonight, with no success.  For some reason it just will not load the drivers for his wireless LAN after I uninstalled it.   I suspect something happened during a Windows update.  Mind you, all those DIVX programmes, Limewire, dozens of toolbars and other rubbish do not help.  Very frustrating, especially when I got wi-fi working on the phone almost immediately.

I think I might have to see if I have an XP disc for that computer and go for the nuclear option with a clean install.

Comments Policy:

  • Comments from anyone who is unknown (ie who has not commented before) will go into a moderation queue to be approved. This is to prevent spam/advertising comments and there may be a delay before such comments appear.
  • As far as possible I will not reject moderated comments or delete published comments, even if I disagree with them or if they are criticising me.
  • I intend only to delete/reject comments which are offensive, racist, homophobic, sexist or similar or if they are in any way illegal/libellous.
  • If you think a comment meets those criteria and I might have missed it, let me know.
  • Although technically I am able to edit comments I will not do so unless it is to remove embedded code which is causing problems.
  • If it is ever necessary to edit a comment it will be made clear that it has been edited.
  • Certain words in comments will cause the whole comment to be automatically consigned to the dustbin (Aavaisha, hmmegatest, cognitive, phentermine, xanax, pharmacy, viagra, vicodin, casino, ultram, tamiflu, valium, tramadol, levitra, carisoprodol) for obvious reasons.
