*woe*

I am sorry, Merc and everybody else. My computer has decided to randomly freeze up on me. Many many times. And the only way to do anything is restart it. Each and every time it freezes.

*sigh*

No Xander-Wolf-food thread tonight, Merc. Thanks anyway, though.

[ETA: Also. So sorry for mis-posting to the bar. *kicks self*]

That sounds eerily familiar. What make/OS do you have? I suspect a particularly pernicious bug.

Think again. XP for over a year now with no probs until this month. I get my virus protection from Charter, my ISP, but they haven't updated the list for two weeks. Now I've gotten warnings of a couple new worms boring through the www. How's that for 19? I hope if that's the trouble, freezing's all that will come of it until I can isolate the bug. Saturday I had a meltdown with my master HD and had to swap out, but the OS is still sticking, so that's not the problem. Look's like this week will be spent poking at every corner of this POS until the culprit pops up. I'll post if I find it.

Would really love to help you... *g* Are you using the Internet explorer? If you do, it might be the last Java Update. It crashed a lott of things. If you do your Updates. If you don't, it might be some malware that seized the security hole. If you already use another browser, I'll take everything back :-) Scanning for viri is certainly a good idea anyway. Horrible thought of you going offline... *g*

Explorer Shmorer.... *uses Firefox*

*laughs* I don't think I'll be going offline. Heck, if anything I'll just reformat. I was planning on doing it anyways.

Should have thought so, but it's a good thing to know.

Formatting should solve any problem. Might create new ones, but at least, they're different *g* Sorry if I sound a little sarcastic, it's a dangerous thing, giving advice and cracking jokes without knowing each other. No harm intended, though. Leading me to "10th Kingdom" ensures you my everlasting adoration.

*laaaaaaughs* You are very welcome.

(And sarcasm is a lovely thing, per my opinion. I've got a shirt: "Sarcasm - another one of the free services that I offer.")
