Gonna call HP about this tomorrow.

If it can't be fixed cheaply (I'm not paying the price of the computer to fix this) I guess I'll get a (cheap) desktop on a monthly payment plan.

I guess it really says a lot about the kind of year I've had so far where this doesnt really phase me at all. At least I have the PS3 browser. Won't be on AIM. Obviously.

Oh, to make things more wonderful, I ordered a new 360 controller to replace my current one which has a B button that wont push in and doesnt do anything. Well, amazon had already processed my order when I picked up the old controller to throw it away, and the B button works fine now. since the order was processed, I cannot cancel it. 35 dollars (thankfully amazon prices them low) wasted. nice.

This is gonna be a great year for me. I can feel it.

You can return it to them if you don't open it. They'll even pay shipping. We had to return a present I got for Christmas because it was in the wrong format and they didn't put up a fight at all.

Maybe you're just experiencing a year's worth of suck in advance. With any luck you'll be swimming in gold Reese's cups by the end of the year.

Maybe your videocard fried? Do you have a spare or an old crappy one laying around to plug in and see if it runs with that?
