I'm posting this from my hubby's PC because apparantly, after being able to successfully download about 7 gigs worth of updates, games and software, I rebooted my computer and discovered it now refuses to connect to the modem. /facepalms. I am in Hour 3 of fixing, patching, renewing IPs, resetting routers, checking my TCP settings ~~and kicking the $(*&!#% leds out of it~~.

I love my computer. I really do. But sometimes it needs to be reminded who the master is in this room.

EDIT: So ... Comodo antivirus apparantly hates connections. Go figure. It's gone now, and poof! Connection returned. Hour 4, and ... it just took uninstalling one, small, mediocre program. /cry

Current Music: Frustration

So I'll see you all (hopefully) on the other side of this massive formatting I'm about to perform on my computer. I just finished backing all my shit on a second backup HD and now I'm about to wipe clean the primary HD. Agh. This is going to take HOURS.

So, I will post an update as soon as I am internet-ready. :D

*sigh*

EDIT: Yay, I'm back on. Thank goodness for DriverMax and Belarc Advisor that made reinstalling Windows a cinch! It took maybe a third of the time it would have normally taken me to track down all my drivers and product codes!
