Circus yesterday - oh the sore tummy from laughing. Course I have a sore throat this morning, not sure why...

Next Circus session June 1.

Rescheduled with the Mav so that's good!

Computer woes - lesigh. Lotro hates me. or something. But the new computer has 4Gb RAM, nVidia 9600NT (I think) video card with 512mb RAM. 500GB hard drive. It's a nice machine, except that something somewhere does not like Lotro. Or vice versa. I get in, start playing, the screen goes black though I can still here the sounds. I can't get to any other windows. And then my monitor gives me a No Signal and the only thing I can do is reboot the computer. Very aggravating. I've updated to the latest video driver and the latest version of DirectX 9.0c. *grumbles* 

Well, I guess I might have to open a ticket with Tech support on this one. Cause ow.

The magnolias are not yet planted, and I've discovered that I wasn't as observant as I should have been at the nursery. Cause the teenager who was loading the stuff into my car - pine nuggets instead of plain cedar mulch, and plain cedar mulch instead of red cedar mulch. Shoulda been paying more attention, definitely. 

 ah well, I might be able to make it work. Though the problem is that the front garden will look odd with a different colour mulch or pine bark stuff tossed in with all that red. Maybe I can return it for the right stuff? I don't know...

Try accessing your firewall exceptions list and include these:

turbinelauncher.exe
lotroclient.exe

They need full access to the internet.

Read: Here and Here for more information on what your problem might be...

Hope this helps with your game *snugs*

*grins*

That's already done. Both those files are in the exceptions list. (I been checking out the forums .... )

Also I have updated my Directx 9.0c drivers and my video card drivers.

Could it be your screensaver engaging and locking the system up?

That's another good thought. I'll have to check that too.
