My Problem or Long Internal Monologue, Expressed, With Bad Grammar)

[DarthInsinuate]

i spent the last few days trying to work out why Virtualdub wasn't encoding, it was giving me a specific error message but i couldn't find anything helpful on Google, just one forum post, but the user was using a Mac so the suggestions weren't relevant.

The change had only occured in the last few days and i was frustrated, so i decided that a reformat wouldn't do any harm. But i forgot to backup my documents, so i've lost quite a lot of stuff, including my CV, which i really hate writing.

My problem wasn't solved, thinking back the that forum post i realised it was relevant, because it was the same type of error. I thought back to what i had changed a few days ago, it was my Anti-virus, which i had upgraded to the latest version. It turns out Virtualdub think the file it's trying to create is in use because the AV is scanning all the time. :frusty:

I should set up a blog for this type of thing.

Dam upgrades are a nuisance. My HP printer ugraded it`s software a few months ago and now i get program trying to open for a split second in the taskbar and then disappear again. It does this regularly. :dry:

these little problems can be complete buggers :dry:

Like Linux and Speedtouch modems :dry:

(bad luck with the c.v too :no: )

Just recover the C.V. from the back-up disk which contains all the important documents like that.

actually i think i have a disk with it on somewhere, probably an old one, but i'm a student, i don't have anything interesting to put on my CV
