"Format time"

Going to do a format sometime in the next week and i'm not looking forward to it, i know that i am going to forget something like i did last time (my dissertation and my 3rd year 3d project), but i need a clean system so i can check some slow performance i'm getting in some of the newer games (DODs and BW2)

I keep putting it off every day :(

:( found another thing i need to get off my zen but it won't come off, i have a feeling it's due to a problem with my current windows install (Explorer) but i don't know for sure.

I'm going to format and pray that i can get them off afterwards.

Just gotta wait for some downloads to finish.

I think i could do with a reformat as well, though im tempted to put it off until upgrade time and not bother.

I found registry mechanic helps a lot.

My last system was so slow it was painful and it sorted that out.

Free to download, Free to crack. (alledgedly)

Let dad to re-install stuff as I was out at training. Come back to him moaning that the internet isn't working on the machine. I ask if he has installed drivers and he replies yes. I check the network settings and all seems fine so I leave him to go get changed.

Come back to find him installing the ethernet drivers and then 'magically' it starts working.

Just installing bf2 at the moment. Have all my old steam data too, just not sure what I need to copy over so it dosn't try download loads of stuff I already have.....

Oi Noi

You sure you've run all the system disks that came with your computer?

Windows for me always just seems to work magically when i need a network done or a first time connection to the net. Normally just plug stuff in and it starts to work.

Formatted earlier because my C: drive was funked.

Just need to try re-install all my programs and hope that I can remember my log in details for steam and bf2.
Can't seem to get my pc to connect to my network or the net at the moment though...

Going to format later tonight I think.

Trying to make sure I've not forgotten any of the programs that I have installed.

I'm thinking about doing the same, actually.

And I always, always, always forget something despite going over and over stuff checking that I've remembered everything I should.
Bah

nope i forgot to be honest
