By allocating 128 megabytes of memory for video, I managed to render Windows completely inoperable — now it only works without the video card driver :(
Unclear what’s going on. Here’s a description of the symptoms:
I have an ASUS X51RL laptop …
Today is a holiday

At the new job
December 5, 2007Today was the first day of hard work (gig) as a civil servant. No impressions yet — everyone is sizing each other up. So far everything is fine — a typical example of a typical rural government office…
The first day of winter marked by a laptop upgrade

Donating blood — first and last time.
The twenty-fourth year has begun
