So I called Dell up again today, and it turned out they never sent the XP Home and Drivers & Utilities CD they said they would. The guy I talked to said they would send it today, and I might get it by Monday, but all the same, I didn't technically need the CDs, because Inspirons have Image Restore that reset the computers to their original factory settings. I did that, and I called up Microsoft... and with them, I did a full system erase and replace, putting XP Pro on my computer. I installed everything that would have been pre-installed, like Norton, plus my new programs: MS Office Pro 2003, Studio MX 2004, Firefox, Thunderbird, AdAware, SpySweeper, and Spybot S&D. The only thing is, when I tried to run SpySweeper and when I tried to get the new definitions from AdAware, the programs froze... which is part of the same problem as before.
It's not that I have too much stuff on there, or that my computer is incompatible with XP (unlike my neighbor Larry said; he doesn't know WTF he's talking about), it's just... *shrug* I dunno, maybe a conflict with Norton? But I don't think Norton alone is enough.
Anyway, it looks like I'll be using a shitload of CDs to burn everything from one comp to the other (and that's just My Documents folder with my work, sites, music, videos, and stuff; I haven't even gone into the Program Files yet for Adobe PS Brushes or other settings and extras). Alas, but the File and Transfer Settings Wizard doesn't like me, and even though the two computers share a network, I don't think I can move things via the 'Net or something. Unless someone knows how-- enlighten me?)
Ugh, I have to wake up at 6:30am tomorrow to leave by 7am to get to work by 7:30 to open and leave by 11:30am, even though I HAVE NO CLASS. I'll come home, sleep, maybe transfer some more files, and if I'm lucky, pick up my Jamba Juice #111 pay stubs and tips, dogsit for an hour or two and THEN go to anime club. Teh yay, what an exciting week this has been.
I stayed home today, FYI, because I was stupid enough to eat another Eggo Waffle last night before bed. I have thusly determined that it is the waffles giving me indigestion (*wails* I LIKED EGGOS!) and so I will not eat anymore. On the bright side, Baba bought Cherry Blintzes, so I'll have those for breakfast tomorrow morning. :)
I gotta try and catch some Zs. G'night.
P.S. Forget Bakura bugging me for a role in WDKY, Dartz won't leave me alone. ;_; WHY, WHY, WHY?
