Windows 7 Test Run
09.04.09
This past week, I was trying to get a piece of software running on my computer and I was visiting some less than savory sites in order to get some help. Some time, while plowing through the depths of the Internet, I must have stumbled across some virus like content. For the remainder of the week, I struggled with my laptop, trying to keep it connected and trying to stop it from locking up. Cleaned up my registry, uninstalled as many programs as I could, really just did a whole house, top-to-bottom cleaning. It didn’t work. At the end of it all, even with as much scanning as I could do and as much patching up as I could muster, the laptop was still giving me issues. So, I did what any other self-respecting self-proclaimed nerd would do, I installed the RC Windows 7 on my laptop.
As of last night, it was working just fine, but as I am typing this, waiting for Windows to start, I am quickly coming to the realization that all might not be well, as this is the second time that my computer has hung with a dark screen while booting. Hmmm… I was just going to write a post about how nicely it’s been working and how Windows immediately recognized all the components of my Gateway p-7805u, but no….now I have to go and see if I can’t get it working correctly. Oh jeez…what have I done.
