Uh-oh.

Adam, if you read this, I think your attention is needed for the machine in my room.

IE has crashed at least twice today, possibly three times. I woke up this morning to a fuzz-screen (images stringy and overlapped, in quadruplicate) and came home to another. The first one required only ctrl+alt+del twice to reset: I do not know the cause; the second one required a manual whacking of the reset button, and the (barely legible) quad overlapped stringscreen implicated Explorer.exe. (Yes, dear, it *was* the reset button.) Now Internet Exploder is unhappy and crashing every now and then, one window at a time.

Who knows. I'm not a guru yet.

Try reinstalling your video drivers. :)

His video drivers; his job.

...Not that I wouldn't love to, you understand, but when it comes down to computers, I've learned that unless there is a minimal area for fuckuppage, you do not combine computers and relationships. My ex fiance screwed that one up for me, and I'm never letting another man near my computer, unless he proves to me that I can trust him with it...

This sounds rather bizarrely like other victims of relationship trauma... in a funny sort of way rather than really horribly awful, though, fortunately.

Ah. I'd thought it was your computer. Musta misread. :)

Nah, it's the machine in my room and the computer of my primary use, but it belongs to him.

My computer is a laptop that currently awaits whenever I can call Dell and order the transformer cable. 'Power corrupts, but we need energy.'
