COMPUTER UPDATE
We managed to get the graphics card replaced in the desktop computer. We did this on Monday. Today, we hooked everything up...and still nothing. The monitor wasn't showing anything...and the CD drive spit out and in, and my Mansions & Gardens disc wasn't in it anymore. After a minor heart attack, we determined that the reason the CD drive was going in and out was because my M&G CD was jammed all kinds of wonky inside.
So, we hurry the computer back tonight. The guy who repaired it last night, didn't tell us there was a new place we were to plug the monitor into...thanks, dude. So, that was no big deal. However, the CD drive is a whole different story. He had to take the drive completely out and pull the M&G CD out...thus destroying the CD. But, now the disc drive is wonky, too. It skips really bad and needs replacing. Great...I headed to Wal-Mart and bought a brand new M&G Stuff Pack...
My computer...brand spankin' new...arrives to the store on Monday. I'm headed down that night to pick it up. When this new computer gets to my house, I'll begin to install all the EP's and SP's for Sims 2...and then start moving my programs and files over from the other desktop computer. So, hopefully...by this time next week, I'll be back to normal.
Wish me luck!
