back to 'normal'

[Beastie]

Well anyway this is all starting to suck. While defragging has cleaned up a lot of random crap, the problem I am having with my HL is unrelated. Reformatting (chills) would also do the same, and leave me with this gfx/palette.lmp problem. It is somewhere within the 1.1.1.0 update. It did not happen to me back in June of last year when I updated, but I am not the only person with the problem. I found a couple of other forums where people have reported it. And either no one has solved it, or they simply drop it after doing so and haven't reported the solution.

I don't want to get cynical about it, but after a week I am on the brink of saying screw it. While I miss playing with you all, I have spent too much time reinstalling and jerking around my system with no results. I could probably go buy a new HL copy, but if I go spend a bunch of money on it and it still doesn't work I will feel like a real jackass. It's summer and I should probably go spend some time outside, anyway.

Anyway not to worry. Interviews will continue. I am still awaiting some final return information to get this week's up. I will have it up today if I receive it. And I already have the next couple planned, too.

I am still open to ideas if anyone has any. It's not my system, it's not my video card, and it's not my cd. So I don't know much about anything else.

Later,
Beastie
