Ahhhhhhh! Computers

Yesterday the usual CODE RED Scare warranted about 10 phone calls. Two of the people just had the SIRCAM virus. So i had them update Norton 2001 and sent them the fixer file. The Girls in the office have been hearing a clicking noise on the phone system. When the repair came out he thought the DSL modems and SONIWALL (sitting next to the switch) was causing the problem sooooooo.. i built a new shelf and but them there.
I.T. ROCKS!!!
Finished one more of the Casenotes.com conversions and posted it (6 more to go)
Went to Docume Enterntainment to fix Dan’s ailing computer..AGAIN
his PIII-600 was never the same after a lighting stike over a year ago. Well last week it gave up all together. But with only a 200 bucks a new machine was not to be had. ENTER ME!!!!!
Fry’s had a special SHUTTLE SLot A Motherboard and AMD Athlon 1G for 149.00….just a warning: DONT BUY THIS!!!!!
I havent been screwed by AMD or Fry’s in the past (never buy the stuff with the white return stickers on them) so i bought it blindly. To start with the board has a Fornt Side bus of 100mhz which means the Athlon can only run at 750Mhz..it’s even in the manual. (so why did frys put these 2 together?)
We put in PC133 memory but with a FSB of 100..those didnt work. luckly i had some spare PC100′s so i put those in. After 5 hours i got it running..but now for the weirdest thing yet: I get a MSIEXEC.EXE error whenever i try to install a Microsoft Autorun Product (Office/Publisher..etc). Since i got most of his programs working. I left about 10pm to go home.
I got an email this morning..that nothing else will install. AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
