Out of the game and on the sideline!

FSX withdrawls and Outhouse withdrawls!!!! Snuck in and got my daughters laptop to see what is going on in the world. My Computer blue screened in a bad way almost two weeks ago. I tried for about a week to fix but the more the blue screen came up the more I wanted to take the computer and throw it out the window. Emotions ran HOT and so I said that is it...its going into the shop. Ever since then I feel much better and blood pressure has come down. Getting lots of yard work done and putting finishing touches on a deck overhaul in the back yard. Computer started the blue screen after a Mcafee update. Not sure what happened but every tool I had to fix the computer nowfunctioned like system restore and even the back up. O-well, will see if they can save it otherwise a clean start.

Ouch! :isadizzy:

Hope you are back in the game soon!

I am kind of limping along on mine right now...for years I was good about not getting into the whole "tweak-o-rama" thing with FSX. Then, after reading a bunch of posts about defrag programs, I messed with it. Now I have a screwed up hard drive, big performance issues, and I am kicking myself because I had to mess with success. :173go1:

I have no desire to try & repair things at this point since I am close to being able to build a new rig. I can work, and I am thankful for that.

Needless to say I have also spent a lot of time burning DVDs...;)

Ouch... I too had a HDD go stupid after using one of those silly defraggers....My entire HDD went red and stayed red forever till I replaced it...

I feel the same. I have never even used the Vista service packs because mine works so well.

By all means use the Vista service packs....or at least SP1.
