Greetings fellow computer lovers!

Hi, I'm an 18 year old computer chick (rare, I know). I love computer games, and have a basic understanding of the technical stuff (I somehow topped my computer class at school, but I think it was mostly due to the guys not handing in their assignments

). Unfortunately, no matter how much I love computers, I have the uncanny abitility to get them to do all sorts of weird things (including but not limited to - blue screening, killing RAM, rainbow graphics artifacts, and constant rebooting). In short, I need help! My friends are now scared to leave their computers in my care, or even bring them over for a LAN (I think it is the house and not me, as their computers have also been really weird while here). Anyways, hope to see you all around the forum.

PS - normally I don't need too much help. What I can't figure out by myself I get my good friends Indoril Nerevar and Tiber Septim (fellow TSF members) to help me with, but sometimes they aren't able to help. I'm hoping there is someone out there who can in these instances.

Hello, AthenaPi, and welcome to TSF! Cases where Indoril can't help? Hah! I wish I'll live long enough to see that!

Welcome to TSF, Athena. Glad to see you finally joined the fun. I'd like to say I'll do my best to help, but since you'll be asking questions I haven't been able to help with, there's little point, isn't there? Enjoy your time here.

@ Zazula
There are plenty of cases. Much as I'd like to claim to, I certainly don't know everything. But thanks for the vote of confidence!
