| Deliriously tired and some computer probs |

Well, I broke out of the waking up around 7:30 am mould. I was soooo exhausted last night, but I still went to bed at 1 am and got up around 8. I was extremely frustrated by MSN (and maybe my Internet connection over all). I kept getting disconnected!! I thought it had to do with my USB devices because I've noticed that at times when I start up my computer, I'm not connected (whereas I should be). But it's all good if I unplug a couple of things, restart, and replug them back in. However, doing that last night didn't help. I just left some of my devices unplugged, and even then, I kept getting disconnected. I should have paid better attention to whether it was just MSN or my Internet connection. ICQ was fine for the most part. The weirdest thing is that MSN sometimes tells me I can't connect because of some firewall blocking my way. However, there shouldn't be. It's been suggested to me I update my mobo's drivers. I guess I could do that. It's also been suggested I flash my BIOS. I don't want to do that - never done it and don't have the guts to try!! On a happier note, the webcam that I bought in Hong Kong and couldn't get to work...I gave it to my friend Ken. I thought it'd work for him since he's using Win2K, and that's what the vendor was using. Anyhoo, he got it to work. At least my money wasn't completely wasted! |

Flashing the BIOS is no big deal...as long as you have the right version ;)

It essentially resets the system board settings to a particular configuration.
