I'm increasingly bemused by my computer.
Although at the moment, not that I'm complaining.
After receiving Age of Empires III for a christmas gift (YESYESYES! xD) I set about this morning trying to install it. Some of you probably know that my computer is screwed up, seeing that I can't install things on it without going into safe mode. Well, this morning, I found that it couldn't even install in safe mode, and normal mode was being its usual infuriating self. So I started tinkering around with settings, removing drivers, changing configurations. And not to mention reverting to Last Good Configuration more than 5 times after I horribly screwed my InstallShield up. o.O
After I gave up, and just left the installation (which hanged again) for 10 minutes, suddenly the installation started -_-
Then I installed it, only to find it hang while installing DirectX drivers. -_-
So I had to manually install the drivers by copy pasting, then tikamtikam get it to work. At the moment the game only works from the C:\Programs folder. Well, at least it works. But it sucks alot of power out of my graphic card, so I can only run textures on Medium/High unless I want to continue seeing green blobs flash across my screen constantly. Lousy pixel shaders.
And even more weirdly enough, when I booted up my computer I tried installing Windows Live yet AGAIN. And true enough it didn't work. I wasn't very surprised. What got me more surprised was I tried again, without changing ANY settings, and this time it finally installed o.O
Again, not that I'm complaining.
My computer is weird. At least I've got AOE3 and Windows Live installed. Hahaa.
