Could be anything. A rootkit could cause this kind of thing to happen. If you want, I can look over your computer and see if it can be fixed or tell you if it needs the OS reinstalled.

You might want to grab a Linux live CD (I prefer Mint) and run off of that (without installing!). If everything seems to be working OK, there's a good chance it's just something wrong with your Windows installation.

Most video cards have plug & play drivers built in for minimum resolution so you can at least do something. Then install proper drivers on Windows/Linux for more advanced features.

How do you look over my computer?

Found an epic collection once in a friend's steam folder. He had two games installed and it was a ~300GB folder. The perverted little fucker even had categories.

Of gay porn or porn in general. I haven't downloaded porn since like 2005 and I always deleted it right after I watched it.

Just reinstall windows. Its good to reinstall it every year too. Don't say any crap about losing everything and having to reinstall. You dont use 75% of the crap you have anyway.

I categorize mine by hair color (red, blonde, brunette, and black) then have a separate folder for Asians.

Are you able to try burning that ISO to a DVD and booting off that?

If not, why won't it let you boot? Were you able to bring up the boot menu? If yes, was the USB drive in the list? Did it give an error while booting?

I was able to get the USB drive in the boot menu if I put it as HDD, CD, or FDD. I tried all but it always went straight to windows. I'm going to pm you the pass again so you can help me put it on a DVD

Tony wanted to go to Pen Island, the online ballpoint pen distributor, but ended up in Penisland.

Nah. I just slipped him some roofies. When he wakes up, he'll be cold, sticky, and filled with feelings of regret, but not know why.

She's just lulling him into a false sense of security so she can chain him to a radiator.
Way to fucking ruin it on the first day, froodles. Everyone knew this except TTT.

Can you keep any secrets, at all?

Well I got the DVD to boot but it said one of the files wasn't a proper ??32 file. I then rebooted and now the computer doesn't recognize the cd drive or the main hard drive. It only recognizes the 2nd hard drive (which had windows and my porn stache)

You keep the mustache you wear to do porn in your harddrive? How is that even possible?
