It's not Rocky Horror, which I know you're kinda partial to, but it definitely has a hint of horror.
Hehe oh yes. It's one of the images from this year's Halloween Horror Nights. I have many so I may change it up quite often.
-
Very nice Dennis.
Here's mine for the month...well, until I change it. haha
-
We've made lots of progress with Scooter, and it seems as though he's become a patio cat. He's growing so fast!
-
He says he's already been into BIOS on it and didn't see anything that may fix it (though he's not sure what he should be looking for in BIOS anyway). He also said he can't get it to boot up even in safe mode. He has also now clarified that he cannot actually boot from the Vista cd he has. He says it won't boot, but instead asks to install. He tried installing and it still didn't work after the customary reboot. So he's stumped. And so am I.
But I do have a question. What are the chances that downloading Peppermint (or another free OS) could help the situation? If it won't install Windows, do you think it may install another OS? Maybe we'd be able to boot from the disk then? I'm taking any all feasible suggestions/ideas at this point. lol
-
Thank you!! Sounds like that may very well be the issue. I'll fwd it to my brother, but I get the feeling it won't be worked on much until his next visit in to see me and mom...so I can do it instead of him. lol
-
He doesn't have another computer he can use to do that and no XP install disk either. Will my brother's Vista disk work for that?
-
Ok this is take word for word from my brother. "No, it says windows didn't load because some Hal file is either missing or corrupt. Halmac file."
-
Thanks login! I'll give him the link so he can look it over.
Nergal, that's actually the first thing I told him to look for (mostly because of my past experience lol) and he said everything was connected good and tight. I still haven't heard back from him about that message but when I do, I'll post.
-
I'm not sure if thats the message but I'll ask him when he gets off work. In fact I'll fwd the image to him as soon as I'm done here.
He can't try the friend's drive in his machine because his screen is busted. If he was here we could try it in mine but unfortunately he's a little over 3 hours away.
Another friend of mine suggested reseating the memory, the processor and the rest of the cards in the laptop. Is that something he should go ahead and do or is it unlikely that that's the issue?
-
lol i love these!
-
hey abu!!!
i'm a little late, but better late than never. -
Awwww!! I love cats who are so loyal. My cat Mittens (may she rest in peace), used to wait for me by the patio door when I'd get out of school. And when she was a kitten, she used to take baths with me. As she got older, she'd hack you to bits if you brought her near water, but she loved it when she was a wee one. I miss her.
-
For once it's not mine that's broken! lol My brother's friend has an Acer Aspire laptop that won't load windows. He says he slammed the screen closed pretty hard and ever since then, he hasn't been able to use his laptop. My brother took out the hard drive and replaced it with the one from his own laptop and windows still wouldn't load. He says with both drives the screen stays black for a really long time and then he gets a message saying "Windows failed to load" or something similar to that. He says when he leaves the hard drive out, he can put in his Vista cd and apparently boot from that with no problem. He said he tried installing Vista on the original hard drive and the first time it got to 67% and then it said installation failed. The second time it got to 100% and then asked to reboot and when he did, he was back to the original problem of windows not loading. So my question is, what could the issue be? My first guess was the hard drive until my brother said he used his own in it as well. Then I guessed maybe a motherboard issue. Any takers on this one??
-
Wow she was a lucky cat, that's for sure! I can't believe she had been shot. You have to wonder what is wrong with people. I'm so glad you guys took her in though. Sounds like she had a great life and was loved very much.
-
I agree. And he's finally warmed up to me...follows me around and lets me pet him and scratch behind his ears. He's such a sweetie.
-
Oh Tiddles is cute!! lol But mom and I finally agreed on a name. So here is Scoots McGee, aka Scooter
...
-
Haha I like Mort! But I'm not sure mom would go for it.
And yes, his coat is gorgeous. Just wish I could pet him! lol
-
Yeah I'm pretty sure now that it's a boy. lol But mom doesn't like King Julian as his name so we'll see what she comes up with. Here's another pic...
-
Oh mom and I are definitely "staff" to the cats. Actually, come to think of it, we're staff to the dogs too. Don't ask me how that one happened though. LOL
And it looks like the "she" just may be a he, but I still can't tell yet. She tends to keep herself positioned so that she can always see me...even when she's eating. So we'll just keep going with a solid "we don't know yet" on that one. haha
-
TomCat...cute!!!
I've started calling it King Julian because it's tail reminds me of the Lemur in Madagascar. lol But if it turns out to be a girl, then I guess her name will be Julian...or maybe K.J. Of course mom may chime in with something different so we'll see once we find out if it's a girl or boy.
-
Awww it was nice of you guys to take her in. Sometimes the ones who are "dumped" on you are the ones that steal your heart the most.
Here's another pic of my little one. A little more relaxed I think...but those ears are huge lol
-
Yep, I have a new little buddy that seems to have "adopted" me as her (his?) new momma. I'm not sure if it's a boy or a girl...haven't been able to get quite that close yet...but it made it's presence known shortly after our neighbors moved out about a month ago. We're not sure if it's a coincidence or if they just decided to live this little guy behind. It's only about 4 or 5 months old and skittish but getting better. These past 3 days have been the turning point, so to speak, as it's been staying under our carport most of the time rather than running off and disappearing like it had been the past couple of weeks. Isn't she (he? lol) a cutie though? And it's got the tiniest meow ever...reminds me of my other cat when he was a kitten.
-
Pretty much everything...downloading music and movies, keeping in touch with overseas friends, reading, shopping, bill paying, editing photos, etc.

Here's mine. So far lol
i'm a little late, but better late than never.
