I Hate Computers OR Why I Feel Like I De-Evolved 20 Years...

I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hate computers. :P

Monday night I installed some games from Shockwave and was checking to see if they would work on my computer.  My computer is 7 years old with ancient graphic cards and all that junk so a lot of new games don't play.  Usually it'll just come up with a box saying the graphic card is not good enough or something and not run the game.  The one game totally screwed up my graphic card or something.  It starts up and goes through the Windows screen, but before it gets to the logon screen, the whole thing goes black, but doesn't freeze up because the keyboard still works.

My brother (who is pretty much a comptuer wiz *grins*) came over and looked at it last night.  He tried reinstalling the graphic drivers, updating the drivers, and changing a few settings.  The only thing that works is..... VGA MODE!!!! OMG!!!!

Thus the reason I feel like I de-evolved 20 years!  UGH!  It's HORRIBLE!!!!!

It's going to happen sooner than I planned, but I'll be getting a new computer now.  My brother is speccing one out for me so he can build it. :D  Hopefully he'll get it all planned out so I can order the parts by Friday.  If I have to go on much longer with my ancient computer, I'll cry!  :P

*wants to sleep for a few years and hopefully wake up to a better life* *grins*
