Insomnia

Robrob8 — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 09:43:29 +0000

You’d think that with all the typing I do that I’d eventually tire myself out and get a good night’s sleep.

But Noooo!! I get to stay up and wait… wait… wait for the hammer of the Sand Man to slap me down.

So I wait… waiting watching “Pauly Shore’s Adopted” isn’t really a good idea… stupid movies don’t put me to sleep they just make me want to do something else (like write in my blog) while the movie continues droning on in the background.

Fuck… smoke break… brb…

Yes, after years of searching I have managed to find the rudest Magic 8 Ball ever.

Go ahead, ask the magic 8 ball a question. I dare you! I am not responsible for ANY answers you get. Not a single one.

What the FUCK….$$?? Does the current credit crunch and economic crisis not bother...

Installing Starcraft 2 Lockups

Starcraft 2

I, like so many others, jumped on the Starcraft 2 bandwagon and bought the game to play when it was released.

Unlike most others, when I get a game that can be played on multiple platforms I install it everywhere I can.

If you read the TOC of Starcraft 2 you see you can install it as many times as you like, simple because you need your own account to login and play the game, so who cares how many installs you do. You’re even asked to loan the disks to your friends, to entice them to get their own Battlenet account to play Starcraft 2.

But problem, really, is when I installed it on my main computer, a AMD quad core Phenom processor with 8Gb ram and an ATI 5670 graphics card.

The damn game wouldn’t install, it kept locking up the computer, freezing the install usually around 33% of the total install.

I did the usual, update the graphic’s driver, finish all Windows updates, check directx install (go to “Run” and enter “dxdiag” without the quotes) but the game would still lockup during install. Everything was updated, I thought but the install still locked up my computer.

The next step was to actually download the game files, rather than installing from the DVD just in case the DVD was wrecked. The game did install to my HP notebook and my iMac so I really didn’t think it was the DVD, but what the hell, I really wanted Starcraft 2 on my main computer. The download took me about 35 minutes (not bad for an almost 7Gb download, bet you wish you had my 100Mbs internet speed!) and when I installed from that the install still locked up my computer.

So I troubleshot a little more and found that my solution to the install locking up my computer was actually none of the above. Out of desperation I went right back to the very basics and defragged my hard drive then ran Windows error checking from bootup. To do this you right click on your Drive C from My Computer, go to Tools and then click on “Check Now” under Error Checking.

Reboot the computer, let Windows do the error check and when I installed Starcraft 2 it went as smoothly and very quickly.

Despite all the troubles, after first trying to install the game, and having all these install issues, I was playing after 4 hours of trouble shooting.

So, if you’re having a problem with your computer locking up or freezing during the installation process, do what I did last first: run Windows Error-checking from bootup and try the install again.

This install tip might just save you 3 1/2 hours!
