X_X

Sorry, I've got to make this a quick post. I had a few days off, but that was just from my job. Shit went down which I am still dealing with. I just wanted to let everyone know that we are still alive and hopefully I will have a release on Christmas X_X

Bad news...

So y'know how computers tend to get viruses every once in a while? And normally, they're easy to deal with - if you have protective software. Sadly, I don't! Well this virus I have made it so that I cannot get on the internet at home (basically...) It started with dropbox not being able to connect, then it wouldn't allow Firefox to connect, then not Chrome, and then not Explorer. SO I went out and bought AVG Ultimate (because I'm not rich) - thinking I could get the exe file from the disc and run it that way. But no! You need to download the exe file from the internet. WTF, am I just old-school in thinking when you purchase a program the exe file should be on the disc you buy??

Anywho, I went to my fiancée's computer and put the exe file on a disc and then went back to my computer to try again. Well guess what, you apparently have to be able to connect to the internet AGAIN to run that file. W.T.F. So with the fact that I can't use this product, and there was no way of knowing I had to connect to the internet to actually get this shit running, I called Best Buy and explained my story. What response did I get? "If it's been opened we don't accept it returned." LOL! So basically, I spent close to $60 on something I can't use on a computer I need to use? And before you comment saying "Well your fiancée is using it" - no he's not. He already has Norton.

Now here was tip 2, "Reset your computer." Alright, dandy. I did that but now I can't connect to the internet to get the driver I need for my wireless card (yes I'm still using an outdated card in my tower.) Once again I turn to my fiancée's laptop to download it but HAH Microsoft doesn't have it on their driver list anymore, nor could I find it ANYwhere to download. *sigh*

My reasoning for ranting like this is because A) I needed to vent and B) I wanted to explain why things are going to move a little slower than usual. Please bear with me as I deal with this crisis.
