Do yall remember that line from the TV series and movie “Lost in Space?”
Well that’s what my computer was telling me the other day.¬ I was downloading an update for my IDE controller and having problems the whole time doing it.¬ After 2 days I finally got the update.¬ What happened afterwards is a total PITA though.
After installing I kept getting an error¬message¬when trying to load¬most of the programs I use.¬ I was essentially locked out of my own PC!¬ I tried all the tricks in the book to fix this problem¬with no avail.¬ So I had to wipe my hard drive and start fresh. Urgh!
I used to do it all of the time, but I had broadband internet access, which makes a big difference.¬ I have spent the past 2 days downloading updates.¬ I haven’t started on the programs that I can only get by downloading them.¬ Acrobat is 20 megs, QuickTime is roughly the same or larger, with my POS modem that will take a day just for those.
