My routine's somewhat dissrupted at the moment, as with the days being shorter, I visit my mum at her house now, instead of going into town. It's gonna take a couple of weeks to get used to that, and re-arrange my other activities, as I'd normally go to the bank, pay bills and whatever while in town. Still... it's no biggie.This laptop's being a little temperamental just lately. When I start it up, quite often the adsl doesn't seem to kick in... certain icons don't appear in the task bar, and then it crashes. After restarting, and doing an auto scandisk, it reboots and works correctly, but then when I shut down later, it doesn't actually shut down, so much as do a restart. Only after I do the `safely remove` thing on the usb adsl modem does it shut down. It's a fair bet that it's the adsl modem causing the problems, but I'm not at all sure what to do about it, as I can't do without it. It can't be doing the drive much good though. The odd thing is, this only seems to happen when I've had the system up non-stop for a couple of days. *shrugs* Windows sucks.
