I’m totally posting from Matt’s laptop right now. Why, you ask? Because my computer decided to hate me and stop working properly.

It’s been terribly slow for a while, but I just dealt with it because, well, what do you do? But today, trying to play The Movies, I couldn’t get it to work. It kept saying that I had the wrong version of Windows Media Player. Yet… I had the one higher than it required. I tried rolling it back to 9, no luck. Tried upgrading to 11, worked once, but the game didn’t work. Then I tried rolling back to 10 to roll back to 9, said that 10 wasn’t installed properly and kept trying to get me to upgrade to 11, but it wouldn’t let me. To say the least, it was frustrated. By the end of it all, I was in tears on the phone with Matt, and we decided to just reformat it and reinstall Windows.

So I spent a good part of the night backing up files for all my 80+ programs (haha, wonder why my computer was slow?) and downloading install files so that I could install it all quickly without spending too much time on it.

Oh, look, my install is done! Time to go play with it!
