Technical Computer Question for Ron

Post by Colton »

whenever i turn on my computer and go to run a program, this thing says that i need this other thing so that the first thing will work. i tried installing a few things, but in order to install the thing the other thing cant be running. When i close the thing, some thing comes up and asks me to do something, when i click ok, the thing restarts... i think my screen doesnt work....any ideas?


Note to self: Stop wasting bandwidth and sql database space...hmm.....
My account should be changed from "Active Member" to "Active Retard" for this post

well i am not expert, but make sure that the 2nd thingy is running from the 1st thingy and that you have a program thing that adjusts the two things together, but in case that your 1st thing is smaller thatn the 2nd thing you have to use a different program thing to cancel the effect of the 2nd thing. But if the 3rd program thing is smaller than both the 1st thing and the 2nd, then you are just SOL. Check and make sure its plugged in, too.

well, the 3rd thing is alot bigger than the others, so i guess that rules that out.... i tried to splice the one thingy to a couple other thingys then i plugged it in and the thing started smoking.. i asked it if it ever heard of "puff, puff, give" but it just kept smoking... the first thing is almost functioning properly, but it got mad cuz the one thing wouldnt pass... i tried throwing water on it, and i wrapped it in duct tape.. still no luck.... hmm....thankz for the technical advice... i just wish it would work

2 words: SAFE MODE

In safe mode, you will be able to load the necessary drivers or change video settings. This also sounds like the dreaded Blaster Worm. Especially if you haven't updated your antivirus in a few weeks. Just a couple of ideas.

Can you be more specific with the thingies? Do they have extensions like .dll or .vxd ?
