Computer stuff works!
Jul. 12th, 2004 08:31 pmYay! Happy happy happy happy! *does a happy dance*
Erm... *looks embarassed*
( Ye Saga of Norton Antivirus )
After reinstalling everything, and the usual mess of drivers including installing the wrong IDE driver, then pulling it out from underneath a working system (it's suprising how much of Win2k will still work when it can no longer 'see' the system partition or driver - I could still browse the web with IE and it only died when I tried to shut the system down), I had a mostly working system.
With one slight problem - full-screen DirectX games locked the computer. This turned out to be something to do with the latest nVidia drivers, Win2k, and my GeForce Ti4600 dualhead beastie. Tried the latest drivers - didn't work. Tried the drivers from Gainward's site - didn't work. Ended up going back to the drivers that came with the card (which are ver 4x.xx instead of 56.72), and it appears to work.
Which means I can finally play Worms again! Yay! *dances some more*
