Internet
I broke the Internet when I was messing with the WebCam earlier. There was a USB problem, so I stopped unplugged the wireless thing, which is plugged into a USB port. It totally refused to work again, after that. I rebooted the computer, did ipconfig things in the command prompt. All sorts (no, not liquorice). I found the CD that came with the wireless thing, and used it to reinstall the thing. Several times. The monitor claimed that it was in contact with the access point, but that the access point was not connected to the Internet. Such lies. The laptop accessed the Internet quite happily, using the same access point.
After the computer bluescreened and rebooted, I reinstalled the wireless thing again, this time leaving it plugged in – it says to have it unplugged before you install the software. Magically, it worked, although it still claims not to be able to see the Internet.
You heard it here first: bluescreens are not the kiss of death they once were…
