Well, my computer is all fixed. I had to get some software reloaded onto it, but that wasn't a problem, it was just Corel Suite 12. we have the software here, I just needed someone else to load it for me (God forbid they give me Administrative privileges on my own computer!). Still not sure what documents I lost, but I was able to throw the stuff on the laptop onto the network, so I didn't have to worry about burning anything.
I have XP Pro on this computer now. The only thing I don't like about it (and it's a small, tivial thing) is that there aren't a lot of themes preloaded in it, and I don't know if I would be able to download any, because of the privileges. Oh well, like I said, it's a small thing, and I really like one of the ones that are loaded. I've been able to customize the "Olive Green" option a bit, just making the window and menu backgrounds another colour but white, and it looks cool.
The only other problem (I really hate complaining, because the stuff that's wrong is such small stuff, and the computer isn't all that bad, really) is that the connection on the front of the computer for headphones doesn't work, so I can't listen to my music. Of course, it does give me an excuse to spend more of the government's money (if I'm allowed). All I have to do is buy a set of speakers that I can plug headphones into, because I discovered that the connection on the back, where the speakers plug in, does work. My boss already left for the day when I discovered this, though, so I didn't have the chance to ask him.
Hopefully there won't be any more complaints, about either of my computers.
Oh, meant to tell you... I thought that I would end up getting Office 2003 installed, seeing as that's what most people have, or are going to be getting through updates from IT, but I have Office XP Pro. I didn't know there was an Office XP Pro. I didn't even have the chance to really use the Office 2003 that was on this computer before it went kerflooie.
Has anyone out there used Office XP Pro? What's it like?
