The new HDD arrived this afternoon about 5:00pm, and I have been busy installing new software onto the PC ever since. This is going well, but it could be faster. Right now there is one major problem. VisualStudio is playing up. THis is the Microsoft languages such as VisualBasic and the like.

This entry is being typed on my older laptop with the HDD from my newer one… So I can do most of the things that I could on my normal laptop – apart from burning DVD’s and watching them in widescreen.

For various reasons I have two sets of a lot of the Microsoft software. The problem was that I could only find the media for one set of VisualStuio with an almost matching serial number. The serial number worked to install the program but that is all. So right now I am trying to uninstall VisualStudio without much success. VisualStudio is one of those programs that takes at least 30 minutes to install on most computers. ARGH.

I am now trying to remove some components to see if that will help. I hope so. If all this fails I will send over an email to my Official Microsoft Buddy in Redmond to get some help. I will let you know…

In the middle of all this I saw National Treasure. Once again I liked this movie. Very much an action adventure movie. But it worked, and it worked well. And there does seem to be an opening to a sequel. I liked the movie more than Sahara since this one concentrated more on the story…

Anyway I will leave it there… VisualStudio is trying to uninstall so I had better go and supervise… Good Night
