Due to technical difficulties...
No..I haven't fallen off the face of the earth.
Right now I'm sitting at the Lizzard King's computer,because mine won't let me log into blogger,or my e-mail for that matter.
I can bring up my blog,but when I try to sign in to post something,the "hot button" doesn't appear!!...what's up with that?
Naturally'this means I'm unable to post comments as well.Although I can still read all my buddies posts,and any comments I receive.
So,since I can do it on another computer,I figure that I'm having internal problems.
For the last three friggin' days I've been hammering away at shit,trying to fix it.
- System recover: All I get is a blank screen.
- Microsoft update:..blank screen.
- "User profiles" in my control panel: I get some crappy error message.
- The recovery disks that came with my computer: The "continue" hot button is inactive.
- Yelling at it REALLY HARD!!:.. Makes me feel better for short periods of time,but has no effect whatsoever on the problem.
I'm down to the real probabilty that I'll have to format my hard drive,and reinstall the whole shebang...CRAP!!
I hate doing that...
Anywhiz,..I'm still here,and hope to bring this to some kind of resolution over the Holiday weekend.
Any ideas would be appreciated....Peace out. :)

I gotta say Sling, we have gone through those mysterious computer problems and I got them to disappear for 10 months so far. I bought a Mac, I haven't had one glimpse of a system problem since I turned it on. We have had at least four different PCs with windows and all of them have had major mysterious problems.
Good luck whatever you decide, my friend!
As always...
While Danielle's suggestion of hangin out with a guy named Mac is good, I think my idea of hangin out with a guy named Jack is equally so.
Very glad you checked in. We'was ever so worried!
(bites nails)
Know what else rhymes with Mac and Jack? Frak. As in, "What the frak is wrong with my frakking PC? Stupid mother frakker".
Sorry for stupid frakking problems but very good to know you didn't, in fact, fall of the face of the earth. You know how I worry.
Whew, I was worried too...kept checking and checking...thought something about the Wayne thing had upset you. As you well know my solutions are simple because I am a computer know nothing....throw the damn thing out and get a new one. In fact throw it off of something really high like the roof.
My computer likes to screw with me, too. Actually I need to replace him before he bites the dust. He's like 8 years old, I think, which is like 102 in laptop years.
Hope you get yours whipped into shape soon.
Wow, i had the same thing happen to me. Ok, this is what i did
drank 3 apple-martinies. got a hammer, smashed the hell out of the puter, grabbed the credit card, got a new one!
hope that helps
I feeel your pain, having been there many times. Sadly, Citymouse pretty much just described my own personal solution, each time. (substitute beer for apple martini.)
lol- at Lorraine.
Sorry to hear of all the PC probs Sling. Hope to see you back up and running soon- if not.... we'll wait.
bests :)
two words:
teenage son.
mine rescues me on a regular basis. he only has a few months left as a teenager so me and the missus better get busy.
Im having problems with mine too..have an apt scheduled with the computer wizz of west after westfest to get it fixed..i hope i hope..only problem is now i don't have a windows xp disc and refuse to pay $99 for one..fuckity fuck fuck fuck..and your right yelling does make me feel better for a short time..but in the long run...it dont work...farq
Sometimes the computer gods just get angry and demand sacrifices.
usuallly i can fix people's computers but only if i am sitting there. remote problem solving is not my forte'. good luck though.
Oh, man, what a pain. I haven't had any computer problems lately (knock on wood), but I really, really like Citymouse's suggestion for the next time. Good look getting it all sorted out and back online.
Even though I have a few macs around the place, I'm still a PC kinda gal which means I have my share of recurring problems. This is probably not going to sound like any solution at all, but it's mine nonetheless.
I call Microsoft and when they tell me they'll have to charge me, I tell them they will NOT. What they'll have to do is connect me to a tech expert who can resolve the problem that only started when I upgraded to a new IE. And so they do (connect me, I mean). The last time, they assembled a team in India. They're really great and walk you through slowly and patiently. There's a lot of run commands and starting in Safe Mode and it takes about 4 hours, but for some reason, it's more gratifying than just buying a new one.
Does that sound fun to you? No? Then I'd go on craigslist. How close are you to San Francisco (I'm assuming there are LOADS of excellent, loaded machines for cheap.)
Have you taken the thing apart and looked inside?
I once forgot to clean the cat hair and dust out of my pooter for a few years and it eventually started acting wiggy. There was a huuuge hairball inside- an honest-to -gosh fire hazard!Canned air fixed it.
AHHHHH! I'm going through Sling withdrawals!!!
Bloody hell Sling! A nightmare of the internet kind...no worse nightmare possible ..or somat! Best of good luck to you...okay.
