That one was for practice I guess

I guess that reformat was for practice.  Some things work better than ever, but the other night I went crazy deleting stuff to make room – iTunes took up all the empty space on the system drive, and with a FULL disk, you can’t do anything.

Somehow or another the driver file for the CD got corrupted or deleted, and without a disk drive that the computer can "see", I can’t do much.

Some things still work – or work even better, that video card, for example, cuz now YouTube works like a DVD player – and there’s a lot to look at on YouTube.

I looked up the error code on Microsoft websites, and on other sites, for 50 bucks I can buy some thing that checks all the drivers and downloads new ones, but 50 bucks?  Sorry, I don’t choose to part with cash I don’t have.

Further research reveals it’s a Registry issue.  I don’t mind the hardware side of things – screw something on and plug it in, no problem, but messing around with the software is a little scary.  A little, more like a lot.  Messing up the Registry is serious.

I printed out the directions, so, just follow instructions I guess.

Plan B is to do the Reformat again.
