New Laptop!!
Hey guyz,
I finally got a new computer! Well a laptop! I personnally think it was a steal Yea it was used, but its in great shape and has awesome specs for the price...
Compaq Evo N610c
Intel P-4 1800MHz
14.1” TFT Screen
512MB Ram/ 30GB HD
Pentium 4
Windows XP Pro
8X DVD+/-RW
(24X CD-Rom/8X DVD)
32MB SVGA/16Bit Sound
56K Modem/10-100 Card
Battery & AC Adapter
PCMCIA WF
Guess how much???
$280 BABY!!!!
Funny story now...
I have a zune mp3 player and I needed to update to SP2 becuse this laptop had SP1, so i can install the zune s/w. Well I couldnt update it, so i plopped in my win xp cd with SP2 and reinstalled windows. It all seemed good, until the activate windows thing popped up. I entered the code on the bottem of my laptop 5 times and every time it said it was invalid. So i called MS activate and this automated thing actually helped me!!! it gave me the right code!!
Ok, well anyways, I opened up the internet and when i scrolled down pages, they were really choppy. I researched it and found out that my video card driver got effed up upon reinstalling windows. I then spent about an hour downloading, installing, and failing to find the right driver. I decide to call up hp to help me with it. I call up, and i get this Arabian guy I can hardly understand!!!! I was getting a headache trying to hear wat he was saying!!! But a good thing; he gave me the correct link to the correct software, I felt so proud that I actuallly understood him and got help from him.
Ok, I'll breathe now [X(]
[LOL]

RE: New Laptop!!
Yes, the new zune firmware/software is awesome!! I love the new layout on my old zune. It even seems way faster than before. I had many problems installing the new software and i finally got it to work. Are you a member of zune scene?
I think i'll make a zune thread here becuse this post is probably gonna get deleted because of "No contribution to thread" as lightfoot would say it [:'(]
