That is awesome. So what did you end up getting? ^__^ The geek in me is all, specs! specs! Though the double monitor thing alone makes me jealous. <333 Not that I would ever give up my current compy, not unless he gets slower or something catastrophic happens to him. He's a dependable old bugger and I luffs him. ^___^
Oh, as per usual I'm fucking everything up. It doesn't have enough ports like I thought it should have for two monitors, and now I can't even install fucking software. I tell it 'run' and it dl's, then vanishes -_- This is why I'm stupid.
::wince:: I think you could probably get a replacement video card with the right number of ports? Or maybe -- and this is shaky -- if your current video is integrated with your motherboard, you could maybe just get an extra video card with a single port? I don't really know though, and I know Vista throws all sorts of kinks into everything.
::hugs:: If I could, I'd totally go over there and troubleshoot with you? And I'm of the opinion that you're smarter than the software, so there's probably something funky, out of the ordinary going on. <333
Whatever. How fucking hard is it to dl a program? And going back and saving it does no good either. It's just not there, not where I can find it. As per usual, I try to do something simple, and just fuck it up to hell and back. All I wanted was itunes and mozilla, and I can't even fucking do that,.
Have you tried turning it off and on again? The only vague idea I can come up with is that you've got something else running in the background unintentionally that's suppressing the ability to run the dl. Though I don't know why it wouldn't let you save things. Oh, maybe it's an IE security setting? I am mystified.
Gravity and bagginess, unfortunately. Much fun though it is to say, "I need pants! I keep losing mine!" it just means I need to go clothes shopping and not that I keep losing my pants in strange and unusual places. ^__^
