Windows bit the dust =(
Windows XP on my desktop decided to crap out instead of install new ATI drivers. Now, I should and could blame it on ATI/AMD, but I’m a fanboy, so I’ll blame Microsoft.
I was able to reinstall Windows on the same hard drive without wiping it, so I copied all my super-important files off before wiping the drive.
Now I’m in the recovery process, installing a huge variety of drivers, applications, and games! 191 mb of Windows Updates!
