Getting there slowly
I tried to do a windows update with my XP box the other night. It asked for a reboot. I did. And then it wouldnt. It just hung on the XP boot screen (the one with the Night Rider bar)
I had to go home on sunday morning to fix up my Mum’s PC, oh, and to wash my car on their drive… so Sunday afternoon found me reinstalling my Windows Box. and again, and again. It just seemed to keep hanging up on reboots. I finally decided it was probably somekind of hardware issue (i had been installing more drivers) so I pulled the soundcard that I had installed for Linux on that machine, and Lo, it did work again.
SO now I am running windows without the PCI soundcard, however if I go back to Linux on that box (when I find the boot disk, or reinstall that is) then I suppose I will have to put ti back, and out again, and back…. etc. Maybe there is some kind of config I could do, but in the meantime, until I sort out tesco.net on my linux box, then I am going to have to be a little cunning.
I did about 4 installs in one afternoon.evening though. Something of a personal best/worst….
