Oh, the love/hate relationship between me and my computer.

So. Last week, Norton Antivirus 2005 decided it was going to have issues, and suggested I uninstall and reinstall. After running into some problems trying to do so, I decided to upgrade to 2006. (It's got a mail-in rebate, and works out to $5 more than just renewing the updates on 2005, in the long run.)

It won't install properly either.

Gah.

I've spent all weekend fighting with it. I have been through pages and pages of support documentation and tried many, many things. I'm giving their online support live chat one more shot.

It's kind of a moot point though, since I'm getting a new tower. $400 from Dell, free delivery. (They've got a sale on until the end of today, if anyone else is looking.) Translation: troutkitty informed me this is what we were doing after I became near-incoherently upset over the whole mess this morning.

Then I just need to figure out how to transfer the DVD burner and RAM (and maybe the hard drive) from my old computer to my new one. Ergh.

ETA: ( ranting )

Yeah, but...

Dear House,

Nice try, but Grey's Anatomy did the same plot--but better--a few weeks ago. The things with House and Wilson and the MRI, though? That was awesome. More, please!

Love,
Me
