I was able to get on until about 1500 yesterday, then nuthin. I was sure Muddy had spread some kinda virus or sumthin so I went to the drug store and bought a box of condoms so I could put one on every finger while typing on the computer. I didn't want to catch what ever Muddy was spreadin through contact with the computer keys. Just in case Muddy's virus caused my computer to put out deadly "Z" rays that enter your brain through your eyes from the computer screen, I wore a pair of regular glasses, a pair of sun glasses, my ski goggles and my welding helmit.
I continued to work on my Xcell stuff till about 2200. I was still unable to get IW to load. My wife tried on her computer and it loaded with out any problem, I of course had her wear condoms on her fingers and my spare glasses and old welding helmit just in case. As soon as the IW screen pooped up I had her shut her computer down. You can never be too careful when dealing with the Muddy virus. Then I proceeded to do a Norton Virus scan, A Spy Sweeper scan and finally an AdWare scan. They all came back clean, still no IW.
I went to bed dreading what I might find this morning. I had a vision during a dream that the computer gods were angry and the only way to appease them was to sacrafice Mushetta. They told me I needed to purify my computer by spilling her blood on it. So this morning, while Mushetta watched, I set up the sacraficial altar. All was in readiness, I had fed Mushetta her last treat, she used the cat pan for the last time, which, by the way, needs cleaning. She looked up at me with those big yella eyes and I thought I better try IW one more time. It worked. So Mushetta is off the hook, my DTs are going away and I only have to wear these condoms and glasses-goggles-welding helmit protective devices for ten days. Even the Muddy virus, as virulent as it is, can't live longer than ten days with out a suseptible host.
Hey dbltree, there is plenty of space in the "Padded Room".
My keyboard skills suck, but try typing with condoms on every finger.
