Back to Normal

03-09-2010 Tuesday

While everyone else on Facebook is blabbing non-stop about Paramore's concert tonight, I, myself, would want to announce that my pc is back to normal! Hoorah! I could've cared less about those poser bands visiting this country, what I care about is that my computer would synchronize perfectly with Windows 7. Yeah I know I switched to W7 eons ago but it's just today that I started to really enjoy it.

The problem I've had first is that all my Sims game wouldn't work, it kept saying an error that the system doesn't support Directx9 even though it's included on the installer cd. Next is the 'fading' effect is gone, after restarting it once, it didn't return since then, including the screensaver option, whenever I would select a screensaver, it would say that the videocard doesn't support blah blah blah when in fact I was able to use all of those when I first installed this OS. It was aggravating but I've dealt with it, hoping that I'll figure it out somehow with the help of a friend , it's just that our schedules make it impossible for him to come over the house and help me fix my pc.

I talked to him yesterday and I told him that I still get the error of not having Directx9, and that my screensavers still won't work, and he said maybe I should try updating it. I shrugged and said that I'll give it a try.

And I did, I was thankful I did. I was always ignoring that message about Windows updates, thinking that it's nothing important. Sorry, I have the tendency to ignore things that look less significant.

After the update, I tried to click on The Sims 2 icon. I waited for a few seconds, tapping my fingers on the mousepad, and voila, I almost fell out of the chair when the screen went black and a familiar icon of EA Games appeared. Woohoo! Of course, I have to start over the game but it's fine by me, what matters is I can start playing that addictive game again. Haha! And I can also start shopping around for expansion packs! Double woohoo!

I know this is a silly update but I was just so happy I wanna share it with you! Haha. Well, damn, I'd rather talk about computers and games instead of talks about some shitty mainstream bands that plague the music industry with fake angst and unnatural music.

Why are they coming here anyway?! Jesus, it's all for mass consumption. Want something to listen to? Lamb of God and Testament will fucking perform maximum destruction this April and that's something to watch out for. Wake up kiddies, listen to something real.
