Video drivers and other malfunctions are starting to signal the end for this computer.. The likely end for this computer will also be the end of this and every blog I do entries on as well as Facebook and YouTube.. I have no prediction when the end will be but if I had a guess.. Tomorrow.. Just joking, but it could be any time now.. The computer locks, goes black screen then comes back with a blue screen with a message about a dump or something to that nature.. Anyway last time this started happening regularly I reinstalled windows 7 and then a week or so later gave windows 10 a shot.. That almost lasted a month and that would have meant my computer would be a dead computer because there was almost no returning back.. Would I try to go back to 10 now.. Highly unlikely..
The other day I was messing with the music on the computer and I wasn't sure if editing was better with i-tunes or a windows program so I started with itunes and then switched to windows media player.. That worked really well, I know I had double and triple songs and so deleting the doubles and triples was what I was after.. Got it down by quite a ways and then.. Well itunes would be the main player, and itunes doesn't automatically delete what isn't there.. So I started to do the long task of deleting tracks but.. As is the case with me I wanted a quick fix.. So I'll delete the program, that should fix things.. Trouble is you can't delete itunes, it is nearly impossible to do.. I tried to delete it in the control panel, that didn't work.. So I did the next best thing, I got into where the program was and deleted from there.. This is.. Well to call it huge mistake is putting it mildly.. It might be the cause of the crashing the computer is doing now.. That is how much this program is attached to your computers goings on.. I found a program to delete in the right order the different things that need to be deleted.. Now I got rid of everything.. I found an earlier version of i-tunes.. In fact I found the very earliest version of itunes, the very first run.. Why get it?? Well my feeling is with this as well as every program I use is if it goes to shit, get the earliest version... Quite possibly there was some code or a dll. that is needed that went sideways with the latest version and it will work better this way.. The earliest version of itunes won't work with the newer version of windows.. It might work only in windows '98.. The latest version seemed out, so I went with itunes ten, it had the windows 64 framework and that seemed very important to get it to not just install correctly but to run.. Got it installed correctly right up until the restart the computer to finish the install process. After the restart it wouldn't finish the final step in the install.. Guess there is now itunes for me.. but just to try it, let's get rid of everything, so I started that program to get rid of the itunes garb in the order it says to.. So five or so steps later, itunes is GONE.. Redownload it again this time the latest version, will it work this time?? Highly unlikely, why would it.. Well it did, works just like before which isn't saying much.. But it was like brand new right?? No.. It's like four hours after the fact that same day.. Doesn't have the songs that I deleted off of there.. So now what.. Well it might seem easy to fix that. There are programs that will clean itunes for you, but why isn't this built into itunes?? It is easy to keep itunes clean when you get rid of two or three songs here and there, but when you do a hundred or two it becomes a pain in the ass... So today I deleted all the music. Every song. GONE... Oh that's drastic, you will have to reload all the songs again..You haven't been paying attention, I have a flashdrive full of the songs that will be reloaded onto the computer.. The exact reason I did the flashdrive this way is just in case the computer took another shit, I would have that backed up.. In fact there is nearly nothing on this computer of importance.. Every program is backed up on a external drive.. Every picture, every video, every scrap of important shit of any kind is backed up on an external drive.. It's not cloud drive.. it's MY DRIVE.. My way, ever since the windows XP took a dump, I have been doing it this way.. MY WAY..
