Just wipe the bitch clean and reinstall your OS if it comes down to it
I'm planning on doing that sometime soon, I'm going to install Ubuntu, cause I likes it much more than Vista.
However, only running in safe mode is a major bummer, cause now I can't run GM or stuff like that due to lack of DX.
I'm getting some upgrades for the bastard soon though, so...yeah.
Might be fixed soon.
EDIT: I just reformatted a tower of mine, and am currently waiting on a wireless card for it so that I can actually use it while accessing the network.
That might take a while, cause I am pretty much dependent on my mother for all purchases.
****, I wish I had a job.
