So you think that YOU are having a bad day? Hah!!! THINK YOU ARE HAVING A BAD DAY? Taken from a Florida Newspaper: A man working on his motorcycle on his patio and his wife was in the kitchen. The man was racing the engine on the motorcycle when it accidentally slipped into gear. The man, still holding onto the handle bars, was dragged through the glass patio doors and along with the motorcycle dumped onto the floor inside the house. The wife, hearing the crash, ran into the dining room and found her husband lying on the floor, cut and bleeding, the motorcycle lying next to him and the shattered patio door. The wife ran to the phone and summoned the ambulance. Because they lived on a fairly large hill, the wife went down the several flights of stairs to the street to escort the paramedics to her husband. After the ambulance arrived and transported the man to the hospital, the wife up-righted the motorcycle and pushed it outside. Since gas was spilled on the floor, the wife got some paper towels, blotted up the gasoline and threw the towels in the toilet. The man was treated and released to come home. Upon arrival he looked at the shattered patio door and the damage done to his motorcycle. He became despondent, went to the bathroom, sat down on the toilet and smoked a cigarette. After finishing the cigarette, he flipped it between his legs into the toilet bowl while seated. The wife, who was in the kitchen, heard the loud explosion and her husband screaming. She ran into the bathroom and found her husband lying on the floor. His trousers had been blown away and he was suffering burns on the buttocks, the back of his legs and his groin. The wife again ran to the phone to call the ambulance. The very same paramedic crew was dispatched and the wife met them at the street. The paramedics loaded the husband on the stretcher and began carrying him to the street. While they were going down the stairs to the street accompanied by the wife, one of the paramedics asked the wife how the husband had burned himself. She told them and the paramedics starting laughing so hard, one of them slipped and tipped the stretcher, dumping The husband out. He fell down the remaining stairs and broke his arm. Feeling better yet? The average cost for rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000. At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers. A minute later, in full view, a killer whale ate them both. After this one you should start feeling fine! A psychology student in New York rented out her spare room to a carpenter in order to nag him constantly and study his reactions. After weeks of needling, he snapped and beat her with an axe leaving her mentally retarded. Still not there yet? A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen, shaking frantically with what looked like a wire running from his waist towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current she whacked him with a handy plank of wood by the back door, breaking his arm in two places. Until that moment he had been happily listening to his Walkman. Maybe this will do it! Two aminal rights protesters were protesting at the cruelty of sending pigs to the slaughterhouse in Bonn, Germany. Suddenly, the pigs, all two thousand of them, escaped through a broken fence and stampeded, trampling the two hapless protesters to death. if after this one you don't feel better I give up! And finally . . . Iraqi terrorist, Khay Rahnajet, didn't pay enough postage on a letter bomb. It came back with "return to sender" stamped on it. Forgetting it was the bomb; he opened it and was blown to bits. and here is the last and best The best has to be that two years ago police found a badly burnt body in a forest. An autopsy revealed that he died from shock rather than the burning. The more weird thing was that the body had a divers wetsuit on, along with oxygen tanks and their was no water for miles around. The police were puzzled as to how the diver got there and how he had gotten so badly burns. It turns out that 2 weeks before there had been a bad forest fire. In order to control the forest fire, a helicopter with water scoop was deployed (you've guessed the rest right!!!). The diver was diving in a lake 100 miles away when all of a sudden he became trapped in a metal container (the scoop from the helicopter). 15 minutes later he was being dropped from 1000 feet along with the water onto a burning forest inferno below!!! See your day's not so bad, is it???

Not sure if this is the right place to post this. But. For some reason I'm starting to have memory crashes every few days. It seems like it happens when I surf. I can almost tell when it happens. The surfing becomes slow, and when I click to close the browser, win 2000 pro crashes. Any ideas?? I used to have NT 4.0 and it had an area where you could find out the code or something that caused the crash. Does win 2000 have the same?? Thanks in advance. Regards Joe PS It was running fine for the last month.

Hello. Im running NT 4.0 SP6A And just noticed that when I do a right click on the task bar to bring up task manager there seems to be parts missing from it. All it shows is the tasks that are running. You can't see what your prossessors doing or how much ram you are using, there isent even a button there to exit from it. I have to go down to the task bar and right click on the little green icon. Am I seeing things or should there be more to task manager than what I discribed. Thanks Joe

I could istall the older drivers for my Matrox but not the new one. I reaaly would like to get this Oxygen drives installed with out formatting my drive. Im running NT 4.0 SP6A Thanks in advance Joe

Hi Alec. Thanks again for your help. I must admite lol Im not exactly sure on how to execut your instuctions. Im not sure what a hive is And what this means * They can be made to cascade down thru all their components from the root to their last folder elements & entries... Top Down all the way thru! (Simple easy way to do it... all at once wholesale, for the username you are concerned with, should work JUST fine assuming my guess here is correct... & I think it is judging from the error message you stated above!) Cheers

Sorry to here about your knee. Hope you’re up and about soon. LOL Glad you enjoyed the ballet. I have been all over your beautiful country, and state. Been every were except Alaska, lol and I’m ok with that lol . I drove for Schneider National for 2 years and that was all I need to get my butt back to school lol. I headed back at 38 years of age and hope to graduate in a year’s time for Mechanical Engineering. That’s why I need the drivers and graphics card installed. Cad files are getting to big for the old Matrox to handle lol. Anyway if worse comes to worse I will back up as much as I can and get someone to reinstall NT for me. Cheers

Hay Alic your not that far from me lol Im just north of Toronto you want to come over and fix this thing. 2 cases of good Canadian beer and gas money lol. Cheers:D

Many thanks AlecStaar for taking the time to answer my post. I posted the info on there site and hope to here from them soon. Although I have been less than impressed by their support so far. Regards Joe
