Wordless Wednesday: BSOD Kiteh

Sorry for the late entry from me, and using an ICanHazCheezburger image, but the image should give you a clue as to what I spent most of last night dealing with... and this morning as well...

It was a "nine-step process"...

Step 1: Come home from work.

Step 2: Turn on computer.

Step 3: Download a software package to help with your web design jobs that someone at your "day job" recommended.

Step 4: Watch in agony as this software "does something" during installation that doesn't seem quite right.

Step 5: Thanks to your top-notch virus checker, you know it ain't a viri... so you ponder what indeed could be happening.

Step 6: The program wants you to re-boot (see picture above).

Step 7: Whip out trusty laptop and find out that something in your video drivers MIGHT have been altered... but the software package neglected to mention that before hand.

Step 8: Spend the rest of the evening and the next morning going in and out of "Safe Mode" until driver configuration has been restored and offending software removed.

Step 9: Plot the death of said co-worker... who you'll see in just a few short hours. (Hope they DON'T make the mistake of gleefully saying, "So, how'd it work?" because that will require an even more devious, slow, and painful demise.)

At least you're able to fix it. If it happens to me, I going to have to pay to have it fixed, then I'm going to have the co-worker fixed, and I'll do that for free!

That is a funny lolcat pic - and sorry about the computer problems. I was dealing with a hard drive failure myself this past weekend.

Hey DrillerAA... I considered sterilization of the offending party at work today... but instead simply said this... You ever suggest anything like that to me again and I will cut your bandwidth access for your downloads you're NOT supposed to be doing here (at work) by half... and restrict your access to MSN and FaceBook. For a modern office worker, this is tantamount to a death threat.

Hello CatSynth... Thankfully, it was just a driver problem with me... and I do daily backups of the important stuff on my system so I'm pretty secure.

This blog is called One Old Green Bus. Yup, the bus is green. What colour is the bus?
