BARELY, that is.
So on christmas day I did a full wipe and reformatted windows. Seemed to go ok. Then I couldnt get online. I somehow needed to reinstall the drivers (which I dont remember doing last time I reformatted, but after FOUR calls to my cable company, over which I admittedly got a little Sucky, I finally decided they were right and downloaded drivers from a nearby net cafe).
Then I tried to get the updates. Kept getting some sort of error... something about BITS.
Luckily, i had Serivce Pack 2 on CD thanks to dad... installed it... kept getting those popups, AND for some reason my internet is seriously restricted. now when I try to download something, my chats refuse to work, like it closes off all connections.
As well, I still can't get the updates for some reason And even though I've installed my sound and video, I still dont get sound (I get the PC going 'beep' out of the tower when I get an error) or even play my DVDs
It seems my entire systems' crippled itself somehow. any ideas? I tried to go through the XP cd and do a 'repair system' thing, but it didnt work at all. Just took all my programs off the start menu and reset my background.
I am SO getting a mac asap... grrr.
