*sigh* Computer woes.

No wait, let me be more specific.

*sigh* Vista woes.

I don't know if I can say that my desktop is on it's last legs because it still runs well. The only problem is that one fine day, my dear innocent computer was Vista updating itself, and then when it restarted. You know what happened? Everything that connects through the USB ports did not recognized. Well, except for my speakers and my mouse. Which is mostly fine since I hardly have time to use my desktop for anything else apart from writing, listening to music and playing Age of Empires.

What makes it not fine is the fact that is my connection to the internet. Or lack thereof.

Since my computer doesn't have a wireless card, it connects by a usb wifi thingymajiggy. So my desktop has been without internet for the past few days now. But like I said, it's mostly fine because I just found myself swamped at work that most of the time I just pass by the computer, put on some music and throw myself on the bed to sleep, lol.

I've done most of the things that I found online. You really do learn more when something bad goes wrong and you're trying your hardest to fix it all, lol. But that's all things I can do without an internet connection. I'm going to have to buy a phone cable long enough to reach to my room so I can maybe try those Windows patches I found.

Fingers crossed eh?

But this isn't the first time my desktop has revolted against me. Once in awhile, it'll do something that puts a stop to a lot of necessary things. Not to mention the fact that the System Restore doesn't seem to work at all. It's the little things. I'm not going to buy myself a new desktop though. Well, not yet anyway. I think I'll wait until Windows 7 comes out, lol.
