Reboot? Restore? Huh??

This is worse than not knowing how to answer my finance questions in exams! Argghhhh!!! I feel so helpless when it comes to gadgets. It’s something that I can never understand. What’s more to be good at. hmm?

Well this time I learned something : Never go to bed before my computer does. I don’t quite remember what happened but as far as I can recall I was surfing the net till 2 something in the morning. Tired, I went offline and click shut down in the Windows options. Then there was some updating to do which took ages to load. 15 mins and only 30% completed? I was too lazy to wait so I left my computer to load by itself and dived straight into bed. Mum will usually turn off the main switch the next morning so the charger wouldn’t be running too long, I guess. The next day when I turned on my laptop, it says WINDOWS ERROR. 2 options :

A) Repair windows something something (recommended)

B) Start windows normally

And I’ve got only 30 seconds to make a choice. So I quickly punched in B hoping that nothing’s wrong with it. But a few seconds later the same page appeared and told me to make a choice again. I punched in B again and the same thing happened. Then I tried A. Went to setup and boot. Don’t know what to do. I was so vain. Restart the computer a few times. Replaced charger with battery. Called Dell service centre. Mum. Puddy. Computer expert friends. Then...tadaa! An old friend of mine instructed me to do this and that and in about 20 mins, my laptop was back to normal!!!! I was so happpppy! Thankiu Clem! Sob sob. Can i take computer lessons from u? =::..)

I didn’t noe one irritating-looking compact disc can do so much. I remember having my friend coming over to my house to fix my lapuk-ed PC once and that’s when I’ve to dig through piles of dead CDs in the cabinet. I’m never really good at keeping them. Hee hee. But I’ve learned my lesson now.

And oh, guess what was the cause of the retarded startup? One of my downloading process - probably the Windows update - had gone corrupted. It somehow affects the operating system hence, banning me from entering into Windows. And to avoid more retarded start-ups in the future, it is recommended or unnecessary for home users to download any Windows update. Because Vista is good enough to stand on its own! *wink*

p/s : I’ve changed my blog viewing settings so kindly fill in your email before logging in. Or maybe you could send me your email and I'll send the invites out. Either way will do!

Reason : Some unknown nuisance is making stupid comments on my blog. (Read RODENTS!) He actually threatened to bring me to court for boiling a rat. He suggest drowning it instead. Big difference, you say?
