I'm just gonna whien about the whole story - my computer was acting up for ages, so I took it into uni to get it looked at, the guy tells me that the registry has gone down the loo and i should just reinstall the whole of windows. Avoided doing it for a bit cos I had a big assignment on and I didn't want to risk blowing up my friends computer cos I was going to transfer all my data through hers onto my external hardrive (which I can't use myself cos I may or may not have broked the high speed USB ports a few months back...).
Those broken usb ports - if you touch anything metal to them, the whole computer goes "peoooo" and shortcircuits. Forgot to tell my brother, he plugs in a usb, the whole thing goes "peoooo"....and then doesn't turn back on.
Take it into the fixer people, they try to retrieve my data. Fails. FAILS. I've lsot EVERYTHING .
So now I'm borrowing my sister's while she's away but she has no games except the microsoft ones, and this is bad cos it's exam time and I need games for procrastination!!!!
So I've been trying to download this awesome Master of Defense - about 3 of them were diseased and the latest one is stuck on 99%. 99. Ninety nine percent. ARGH. I'm SO CLOSE. And I also tried to get Age of Empires3 which should work sweet on my sister's - my computer isn't powerful enough for it. Downloaded the whole 700megs worth in less time than it took for that Master of Defense game to go from 78-79% of 14.9megs (!!!!) but then I find out I need a virtual drive, got that, but AOE decides there's something off with the file and it wont install. *headesk* *cry*.
AND I got The Curse of Monkey Island for which I need a DOS emulator but the one I had on my computer wont seem to download onto this one - all the files are corrupt. Whyyyyy do you hate me whyyyyy.
I miss my computer .
