    and I'm a nuerotic dipsh!t. I also might be a manic depressant who reveals to people he ma view as friends who are actally internet acquaintences. I'm miserable. I also can't spell well when I've had a few.

    Anyways, these days,, it seems my computer is my life; but it's on it's last legs.

    It takes me 3 tries to get online. The first two tries always says "not enough memory to start X program." It's also said "you are running dangerously low on resources...can't start program." Do I not have enough memor? also, my cordless mouse and keyboard are not up to my standards?

    I don't know what to do; I feel we (rocket fans) are sometimes on the same wavelength. Help me fix my computer; I know I'm drunk.

    I don't have the patience to reformat m computer every year? Should I call the computer nerds?

    I hate this keyboard? It can't keep up with me. I need help from 360 degrees;allover the place. Please help me with my computer and my life.

    And, my winamp doesn't work. Why do I let relatively minute crap like this get me down? And why can't this keboard function correctly and keep up with me?

    Format/Re-install

    I assume you're running win 9x? All those consumer MS Windows (95,98,ME) need to be wiped clean and re-installed every so often. They begin to collect junk and slow down, crash, and otherwise not work properly. By formatting and re-installing your OS, you're cleaning all that junk out, and giving your computer a fresh start. Like drapg, I used to format/reinstall every 2 months or so to keep Windows running okay. Now that I have Windows 2000 or XP as my gaming partition (I run Linux usually), I don't worry about it.

    The computer itself isn't on its last legs, it's your operating system that's dying.
