Anywho that doesn't have much discusion value so.

mine randomly opens toshiba movie software which blacks the screen out while it loads so it looks like my computer is about to turn off.


at my own fault, i once had to restore it. i was trying to make it look like OS X, and was succeeding. i had the dock, the status bar, the red/yellow/green buttons on the left side of windows, and my cursor (and everything that it could possibly look like) was set up like on OS X. i ran into trouble, however, when i went to change the buttons in windows file explorer from the default round arrows to the blocky silver ones in OS X. to do that, i had to go into system files and rename a file and replace it with another one i had to add in. I did it and went to reboot my computer so it would take effect. as it was coming back on, i got an error. luckily, i had a system restore point set up before i started.



and from that, i learned to never mess with system files (or try to make it look weird).

Well not exactly my computer, more windows Vista. One fine day it decided that I did not have the authority to defragment my drive, or run my games, or pretty much do anything. Honestly, its like it was actively resisting anything I told it to do.

2 days and 1 Windows 7 later, things were back to normal.

I have some problem with my devices... HD fails to be detected sometimes. I just reset and it's solved. My DVD drive most of the time refuses to open.

And my Soundblaster X-Fi is detected like 10 times showing 10 multimedia devises in control panel, but yet I can't install the driver because it says that the hardware is not present! Any ideas? I have to keep using by on-board soundcard meanwhile...
