LOL your CMOS is playing music . All of those random symbols means the CMOS is accessing memory that has nothing in it called garbage (programming terms). Did you ever flash your BIOS or did it come like that?

 

[Fat.Clown]

I didn't flash it
should I?

 

[Baez]

Wouldn't hurt to try now that you have all of those weird symbols anyway.

 

[Fat.Clown]

aye
I just flashed it

those symbols didn't go away :\
everything seems to run fine though.... maybe just on the surface

and now that my wireless adapter is here
I installed it
everything still ran fine
so I went ahead and installed SP1
now one of my drives are not showing up in my computer

it is recognized in bios
and when I go to device manager, if I do scan for hardware changes, it shows up briefly but goes away in like a minute
while its checking for hardware changes, explore freezes =\

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
why does the tech spirits do this to meeeeeeeeeeeeee

It definitely could be SP1. Just uninstall it and see if the problem persists.

 

[Fat.Clown]

I've installed tons of updates along with SP1, only if I can figure out which one is the problem....... so aggravating...
its the drive with all my music on too!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
sorry, wanted to scream so bad....

 

[Baez]

You could either go through all your updates one by one or do a reinstall of Vista and install them one by one. Both pretty tedious tasks but there isn't any way to really do it. The first choice would probably be less time consuming.
