I dont think I'll be able to go back home in a month and a half. So much good food and snacks. I'll miss them :| I should bring some stuff to home maybe but my suitcase doesn't fit much extra since I already brought a ton of clothes and electronics. Must figure something out! So I have this generic PCMCIA Ethernet card and I've been trying to upgrade to Windows 2000. Most things work fine, except for the Ethernet card. While Windows 98 knew the kind of network adapter and worked by itself, Windows 2000 doesn't. Great. So I download the official drivers. Windows 2000 then says the drivers aren't suitable for the device. And on 2nd try it says the INF files for the drivers are wrong. Anyway even though its been over 12 hours since I installed Windows 2000, I still cant get online. Crappy drivers or crappy MS, I haven't decided yet. Update: well I got it working. It was some weird BIOS conflict related to my onboard audio that only effected Win2k. Once I disabled the SoundBlaster in the BIOS the Ethernet card initialized just fine. Movie: Do you have that one with that guy who was in that movie last year?
