New Year and New Beginnings

Well it is now the new year and there has to be a lot said to the amount of importance we put on it. For me there are a variety of things I would like to get out of this year which I will hopefully be able to extract what I want by the end of this post. Well currently I have upgraded to windows 64 bit and it is causing the normal teething issues. Trying to get different stuff sorted for this P.C. so I will go through them just in case I need them.

Driver Issues
For this computer I am having a few issues with the drivers. One is for a 3400 Series Lexmark X3480 Printer.

Next is a few Motherboard Driver issues. The Motherboard I'm using at the moment is the K9A2 Platinum which is having trouble picking up the RAID Controller Driver on the hard drive. Got the driver here and extracted in the Downloads Folder. Found a good post on How To Geek saying that I should "[try disabling driver signature enforcement to see if those drivers will work with Win7 x64. Restart and go to the F8 menu, Advanced Boot Options, and select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement". Then see if the drivers will pass the signature check. Be careful with this option -- I'm told that it does not survive a restart.]" I might try that if I'm stuck.

... Ohh here is something interesting I have found a problem with both the drivers.
Not too sure what to do with that... :P

Steam encounter.
Well not isn't this fancy Steam automatically realized I was on a "new" P.C. and have sent me an email to my account to verify that it was me :D that makes me happy.

Now I had a bunch of files from a previous install of windows xp on this and I spend a few hours having a look for folders that I want to keep, and then I got annoyed and deleted all of them. lol.
I will be burning a bunch of DVD's which will hopefully keep me good if I need to do this again, which I think I might because I want to get a new hard drive for this one and keep the os on that.


So unto myself. I am planning a few shows in the works but the main one that I will be launching is the "Fighting to get Better - Moltile's Journey". This will be starting on Monday 09th Jan 2012. This is where I will be trying to take control and improve myself in a number of different ways. The main things that I will be covering in this show is how I am working with the 6 tasks that I have set for myself and adding new ones from suggestions and personal ideas.
The 6 tasks are:
  • Stop smoking
  • Psychotherapy
  • Exercise
  • Study
  • Reading
  • Money Management

This will be going unto my extramoltile channel with one video explaining what I'm doing on my main channel. This will be, like a new years resolution to an extreme and hopefully fun to watch.
