I got permission to install stuff on the borrowed laptop. And so I did, figuring running one thing at a time might be okay.

But I keep having problems.

Like, totally forgetting server information for the various IRC chats I'm in. (wow, dw stuff, gw, yuletide.) Can someone plz comment with info? Anon comments are screened. ETA: Found info for, and am on, dw and gw IRCs. yuletide and wow probably less critical. and omg people. *clings*

And, like. Er. I finally caved out of desperation and installed Guild Wars so I could smash /something/ in the face (and I could manage GW with less downloadiness than WoW). Except. Uh. I'm getting a "Can't do 3D *thpbt*" error that points me to http://www.guildwars.com/support/en-3dinitializationerror.php - and directx is updated, but also claims 3D is not avialable, which leaves the video driver as the problem. I go to Device Manager, and to the display driver (ATI Radeon 9000), and try to update from there; it searches, and "installs", and then tells me to insert the "ATI Technologies Inc. Installation" CD, which I do not have. And I can't find anything on the internets that is both helpful and reliable. And and and.

*cries*

(I sound frightfully stupid whinging about a video game; but it's one of my coping mechanisms, more or less, and I waaaaant.)
