Argh!On the less than positive side, this laptop has become very unstable over the past few weeks.
I tried doing a system resotore, to just before the point when I installed the dsl modem, as this was round about the time things started going screwy For whetever reason though, windows was unable to restore, so stayed as it was. Damnit.
Anyway, I've uninstalled a number of programs that I thought may have been the culprits, to no avail. However... after the crash that just hit me, I'm starting to think the problem may be Trillian. I upgraded this at around the same time as I installed dsl, and apart from the webcam software, it's the only program I run ALL the time. Also, I heard it make the usual beepy noise it makes when someone comes online, just before my system locked up. That and the fact that Yahoo have a tendency to screw around with their messenger system in an attempt to prevent third party software providers from using their chat systems makes me think it may be the problem. We'll see. I'm going to keep it closed down for a couple of days and see if there's an improvement.
