No, this is not a Choose Your Own Adventure.

What's so stupid, you ask? I deleted the Intel Graphics Drivers with the Add/Remove Programs, thinking it was something else. I restarted my computer just now and the screen was at 640x480 resolution with 4-bit color. Thank goodness I remembered my system specifications so I could download the correct drivers. My computer is back to normal now, so don't worry about it.

Also, yes...I fully expect to be laughed at for this.

Well, at least you didn't delete the system32 folder. >_>

i'm afraid to ask but what does that do?

I'm no genius with computers, and I know that deleting the system32 folder would basically screw your computer over beyond repair. :wacko:

It's basically the windows registry. It contains all the programs that allow the OS to communicate with the BIOS. Kill that and you have to either a new computer or get a new hard drive with a fresh install.

so inorther words you would have to reinstall the OS to get it to work again?

Yes, it looks like that's what he's saying. The lesson for today is...do not mess with the system32 folder. :wacko:

I don't know Tact, it wasn't that dumb. I've done way worse. And I'm sure you have too.

It could be worse. It could have been Linux.

What? Thanks for the support, but I still think I pulled a very silly move back there. :disapprove:

Silly does not equal dumb.

You want dumb? Your parents deciding not to use a condom was dumb.




I'm sorry. I truly am. That was a little uncalled for...

not dumb enough to make me laugh. :disapprove: perhaps, but not laugh

Disapprove, laugh, they're the same thing. I was expecting some sort of negative reaction.

Only you, Tact.

Tact, cheer up. One of these days you'll realize how to be funny without you having to look for a negative reaction.
