The com guy came today, but the problem's still there. He told me to uninstall google earth, and to see if the problem recurrs. AW MAN. Sucks. Google Earth is one of the funnest programs around! (>.<) And i cant use it. =S So on his advice I also installed a coupla spyware and adware programs, namely spybot and adaware, and also because my Norton Internet isnt working out that well. Thurns out the old com guy we hired kinda cheated us. =X 900+ for a comp with fake Norton and fake windows XP. Shit. Hope can get this com cured or something. It always has problems. As Shawn once said (quite rightly , if I might add,) that "we spent so much money fixing this com we spent enough to buy a new com." and i think he might be right. All cos my parents are resisting the idea of buying a new computer. =.= I wanna my laptop. =S
[Update]
So we went out for dinner at compass point. Been there so many times I don't know what to choose. The western food stall introduced some new dishes. Tried out the spag and meatballs combo. Not too bad, but a little expensive at $5 plate. I'd give it a 3, considering food court standards. Its basically spag+mushroom+sauce+4 meatballs, and finito. We were going to look at some laptops at Courts later. I had a near-going-to-erupt-soon-argument with my dad over the laptop thing. He said my dowloading of games causes such problems and that all I wanted was to keep buying stuff to upgrade every few months. Hell, yes I want that! I want it as much as a safe dropped on my head. All I want is a decent computer that can last a few years rather than the hunk of junk that I call a Pentium 4. Lol. Amazing why these problem never occurred when I played Gunbound. (which I seldom do nowadays) Gunz DID cause the crashin, but ONLY it if was played. Now, the system is showing me its digital PMS side. =.= It crashes as and when it likes. My dad then pointed out that the com guy asked my to uninstall a "game". Annoyed, I went "Oooo...I didn't know Google Earth was a game! Wow! What's my high score I wonder?" =X So yeah, later we went to popular, then in the end, to Courts still to look at laptops. My mum was a brave woman, she asked my father to go have a look. ^^ Amazingly he grudgingly went along. So we got there and I wanted to sink to the floor. Every one on display was 2K at least. What happened to the 1K+ models??? Shawn hasnt got back to me on the price of custom making a laptop.Lowest price I saw was $1999. Shawn says $1400 ibook can be gotten at Sim Lim square, but can it run MSN? T_T I saw a really chio Toshiba one. All white too, nice big screen, really sleek. Aww...sitting here rotting now...
