oh my *#*$#$*#(*&(#& stupid computer, and scanner...

***** OFF TOPIC - RANT *****************************************

now, i know where half my problems are coming from,

the stupid driver for the scanner kept causing my computer to lock up,

and i then i had to go back and fix Xp from service pack 3-> back to 2,

and then had to reinstall software again, along with a lot of other things.

then for the last 2 days, i couldn't get the computer to recognize the

scanner, no matter what, the drivers just wouldn't work...

well, the last place i checked (which should have been the first), was the

hp site, and sure enough when i just installed the drivers, instead of

their stupid software it finally worked..

OK, now that's over with..

back to the semi-regular program
