Well, I wasn't on yesterday on account of getting my service activation for my broadband (Which I now know, thanks to the customer support guy, usually gets about 4-6mbps). Anyway, I was overjoyed when I got home. I pretty much wrecked the study and the surrounding area with little bits of plastic and some telephone filters everywhere. Anyway, I got around to installing the drivers, and then my computer said to restart. So I did. When it was logging on and checking the modem,

It shut down. Unexpected. Completley.

Anyway, I tried a few more actions and boom, the modem works. But, I am stuck with the lovely little blue screen. The blue screen of death. So I had to force the computer to turn off. then the modem stops showing it's USB light. Oh crap.

I called the customer service guys and after being redirected a few times, a guy told me what to do. We walked trhough the installation stuff and then I got the blue screen again.

His advice: Reinstall Windows.

So, alright. I'll be reinstalling Windows sooner or later. Maybe I'll be able to get XP this time from the people who did my computer up from 98.

Well, that sucks.
