Maybe you can tell me how to fix my laptop.
I installed SP2 for 64 bit Vista this evening, and now it tells me it can’t find drivers for about 15 different devices.
The best part, of course, is that they’re all “Unknown device.”
Not sure how to find a driver for that…

Ibuprofen. Click your heels 3 times and take some Lobo – it is a wonder drug without “narcotics”. It does take at least 1-2 hours to to work.

I’m not supposed to take ibuprofen or aspirin. I can take tylenol.
Something to do with the anti-inflamatory I take for my neck.
@ lobo91:
i can give u the reason for that if you email the script for your neck or if you dont give a shit, state it here

It’s an Asus G50V

My understanding is that it causes the ibuprofen to build up in the liver.
Or vice versa.
Anyway, I’ve had 2 different doctors tell me not to mix the two.
@ coldwarrior:
What I take for my neck is meloxicam (trade name is Mobic).
@ lobo91:
What about Diclofenac? Or do you need a script for that in the states?

I just looked it up, and you do.
Also, the warnings on that look pretty much identical to what I take now.

@ huckfunn:
Admiral walks into a barbershop, recognizes a General in the next chair. While they’re getting haircuts and shaves, they talk about different campaigns they participated in, compare notes about the differences between the Army and the Navy, gripe about mismanagement by the Pentagon, etc.
Once shaved, the barber asks the General if he’d like some cologne. General says, “Nope. My wife will think I’d been in a whorehouse.”
The Admiral says, “Go ahead and slather it on. My wife doesn’t know what a whorehouse smells like.”
@ lobo91:
the mobics are interesting…Inhibits prostaglandin synthesis, probably by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase.

See, it was good I drew the 2 of you out, lobo. Now you have a solution to at least one of your problems.
(I still say can Vista)
gone…
see yinz later.
@ coldwarrior:
The civilian doctor I’m seeing now was concerned enough about it to order a liver function test before writing a new prescription for it, so I assume it must be an issue.
@ Bordm:
Thanks
@ coldwarrior:
later!

Thanks for helping out Bordm.
Thanks all for chatting. I’ll pop in later to see if anyone is still up.

I agree. I really don’t want to pay for 2 copies of Windows 7 right now.

Good night

No biggie.
If you still have computer issues after you have tried there let me know. Sometimes you have to go to the chipset manufacturer for the latest updated drivers.
@ Lost:
Later gator.
@ Bordm:
When I look at the device manager, it shows “unknown device” there, too.
Bedtime for Bordm, nite y’all.

The known devices in device manager have good drivers, you want to download the ones from website that are not listed in device manager, those are the unknown.
@ Bordm:
I guess that makes sense.
I’ll take a look at it in the morning, after i’ve had some coffee…

Meanwhile, you can try this yourself. Several free tests show how secure your computer connection is. You can even spam yourself to test your firewall. This has nothing to do with any tracking experiment; it’s just an interesting security test that you can choose to try or ignore.

@ lobo91:
For instance, if the video driver says ‘default driver’ download the Nvidia driver from the web site. If the wireless adapter or sound card is not listed download it from the web site. If you’re not sure download and install the drivers from the web site one at a time and install them. If it tells you, you already have a newer driver installed, just cancel it and move on to the next one.
@ Bordm:
makes sense. Thanks.
Okay…I’m heading for bed, too.
Talk to everyone tomorrow…

I know you guys are going to tire of the Australian elections, but this is a beauty.
‘Mr Hockey, delivering one of the more memorable lines from the campaign so far, even likened Labor’s economic credibility to American socialite Paris Hilton.
“(Treasurer) Wayne Swan is to surpluses what Paris Hilton is to celibacy,” he said.’
Great. Just great.
Thought I would take the plunge and listen to myself on BTR…glad I did.
I said that the Liberal party in Australia are like the democrats in the US. BIG MISTAKE! I meant the Labour party in Australia are like the democrats and the Liberal party are the equivalent of the Republicans.
