Today I decided to dig up my Logitech iFeel mouse and plug it in my computer. I downloaded the latest mouseware drivers and the immersion touchware program. The iFeel mouse has a rumble pack thing inside it so it vibrates when you move it over menus, icons, other stuff. My effort did not pay off, since the mouse was jittery when moving diagonally. I unplugged the iFeel and plugged in my regular Logitech optical mouse. It was still jittery. WTF? I figured the mouseware drivers were to blame, so I uninstalled them. That didn't fix it. I look at the properties for the mouse and did a driver rollback. This rolled back to the logitech drivers I had uninstalled. I eventually got the microsoft drivers back, and now the mouse is back to normal. I am wondering if I buy the latest and greatest MX1000 laser mouse, if I'm gonna have problems with the MouseWare drivers again.

I also had a 256M DIMM laying around, and I thought I might try to put it in my machine. Every time I try to add more than the 512M that's installed, it doesn't work. It either wont both or doesn't recognize all the RAM. I decided to try it again today. I opened up my computer and realized a had a 30G hard drive in there that I stopped using a while ago. I am gonna take it out and put it in another computer for the Nay Nay.

I figured I might as well reconnect my reset switch wire and the power led wire, since they had been disconnected for months. I managed to do that without too much trouble. On with the RAM upgrade. My motherboard (Asus A7M266-D) has 4 slots, which can support up to 3.5G RAM. I am using a 256M dimm in the 1st and 3rd slots. I tried putting a 256M dimm in the 2nd and 4th slots, and both did not work. I gave up and started working on some other stuff.

While I was doing something, a dialog box saying that CursorXP had crashed came up, and then the computer shut off. That's not good. I turned it back on, but it wouldn't get to the XP loading screen. I tried safe mode, and it got stuck on amdagp.dll. I opened up the case, and there was a burnt smell before. I've been through this before. Last time this happened there was a cable in the way of one of the CPU fans. I moved the cables away from the CPUs and powered it up. It booted into Windows.

Ms. Nuggles has come out and wants me to go to bed. She says she watched 2 movies. I was deleting SPAM the whole time.

Anyway, I'd better go to bed now.
