Alzado Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) fred, what kind of router are you running? is it 2.0 by any chance? my uncle ramos was having the same issues. turned out he had one of the newer 2.0 routers installed with 96x portbays. tigerdirect.com has the latest portbays for under $100, so it's a relatively easy fix. but it will fuck you up and erase all your bookmarks if you don't get it sorted.

Fred McGriff Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 i dont know, i import my router weekly, i'm sure it's not that. i think it's an issue with my existors because it was working fine last night and now the existors arent accepting any passkeys at all. do you know where i can get a new passkey?

Alzado Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 dude, pm me your machine id. Micro$oft will make you re-register and pay for a whole new protocol just to update your passkey, but i have a little hack program that will generate a new one for you. but you can't be connected to aol when you enter the new passkey or they will detect it. if this doesn't do it, then you may need new existors (or reconfiged existors) which is mad money. but before you go that route, let's try the new passkey and make sure that your printer cable is plugged in and your recycle bin is empty.

Guest Tamas Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Do sudden harddrive crashes occur? The one time it happened to me files started randomly disappearing, and I got a ton of errors, so I had a chance to backup most things. Either way, I'm not sure what type of harddrive you had, but try to stick with Western Digital or Seagate. Those have always seemed quite solid to me, avoid Maxtor if you can though.

Guest Rambo Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 have you adhered to 4012a protocols? If not, i wouldn't even bother selecting your ported binary hunkmegs. Just strip it down to 42a, remove the little tabs along the safe/bypass AIAIAIA channel so you don't have to re-route your entire config dialog to your outboard extraction kernels. I mean, lol, who is going to debug a hyperthreaded outgoing data exchange port if it hasn't got a b11 safety bus?

Guest Helper ET Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 this is the "mind internet" at play here. you see, my laptop just yesterday broke down as well. it never does this. notice how fred mcgriffs laptop, although it has once had problems earlier in the year, chose today to muck up again. now, take a look over at my "peed the bed" thread. joyrex claims he also peed the bed just last week, and that it was strange that someone made a thread about it, soon after he had done it himself. this type of thing has happened to me countless times on watmm, and i would assume to lots of others as well. remember how many times youve heards someone say, "weird... i was just about to make a thread about this...weird" my theory is that we are all connected through this matrix of a not only invisible, but almost undetectable, and absolutely unprovable, internet connection, in which we are all somehow involved. there are rare occurrences, which people call "coincidences", but they are simply just this "mind internet", coming out of hiding and into ones consciousness. its everywhere because its everything we know, until we break out of it and see the "real world", or another illusion Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/46419-laptop-crash/#findComment-1062101 Share on other sites More sharing options...

acid1 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I spent almost 4 grand on an alienware, and it died twice in a year. The first time was about a month after they were bought by Dell so I had to fight with thier tech support. Both times it was related to the raid drives they come with and do not allow you format and unconfigure raid. Thus both times I lost all my data.

Guest Rabid Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 My hard drive crashed on my laptop a few months ago. Was not really a surprise, since my laptop is four years old and many start breaking down at this age. However, the crash was the cumulative result of a lot of fucking around on my part. I don't treat my computer well at all. Lately I took my laptop on a trip and didn't bother to turn it off before shoving it in the trunk, and now it's all fucked up again. Confirming what was said about hard drives and their sensitivity to movement.
