hyuriI've found myself saying that an awful lot this past week. first it was because my computer was eating itself. then it was the computer not wanting to work when I put it back together. then it was the car. then it was... actually, I think all of it was the computer, other that one with the car. ¬_¬
the most recent cause of it was the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
lj_win32 client, which is acting very strangely: I open it, it logs on, it disappears, I hit alt-space and click Restore, it shows back up -- on the login window. other than hitting alt-space immediately, before clicking anywhere, and ctrl-alt-delete, it's completely inaccessible. this is the same client I was using before everything went boom, the same one I started an entry in this afternoon. I even reinstalled it, twice, and nothing changed. what the hell? O_o
sorry for running out on you, Tess; it seems the problem was actually a conflict between the Voodoo3 and my sound card, and it decided to bite me. ditched the extra video card and BOOM! no more problem. oops.
note for next time: get it stable, back it up, then start playing.

Re: You ran?
Date: 2003-10-18 05:01 pm (UTC)So 3dfx didn't make friendly hardware? Somehow, this does not surprise me. Guess I could always track down a DVI-I to VGA adapter and steal my brother's video card... ¬_¬
